USSSA Tournament Directors — The Public Record
Kelsey Jones: Wild Horse Park, Mustang's 19 Softball Event Listings & the Rainout-Modeling Test
The 29th installment examines Kelsey Jones and the historical Oklahoma USSSA softball event records associated with Wildhorse Park / Wild Horse Park in Mustang. The controlling September 20, 2026 Hidden Valley dataset identifies 19 distinct event listings, 55 division rows, 473 team-event-division entries, and $97,601 in calculated gross advertised entry fees. The same source calculates 1,281 minimum-game equivalents and 2,142 estimated officiating assignments. These are historical data measurements, not proof that every listed event was played or every advertised fee collected.
Principal finding: One event is expressly titled “Rainout – Mustang’s Firecracker Classic.” Although the spreadsheet attaches 37 team-event entries, $8,262 in calculated advertised entry fees and $11,100 in hypothetical gate proceeds to the June 25–27, 2021 listing, its title raises a completion/status question. That record should not be treated as verified played competition, actual collected fees, or ticket receipts without independent evidence. We retain it in the source register and disclose separate scenario calculations excluding it.
Research snapshot

|---|---|
| Calendar start-date years | 2021–2022 |
| Numbered USSSA seasons | 2021, 2022, 2023 (2023 season includes fall 2022 activity) |
| Distinct event identifiers | 19 |
| Division-level records | 55 |
| Team-event-division entries | 473 |
| Calculated gross advertised entry fees | $97,601 |
| Minimum-game equivalents | 1,281 |
| Estimated umpire assignments | 2,142 |
| Source-listed named venue | Wildhorse Park (one exact source category) |
| Source-listed municipality/county | Mustang / Canadian County |
| Source-listed sport | Softball only |
Scope and controlling source. The controlling file is AIUSSSA - HVIOG 9-20-2026(8).csv, the most recent September 20 copy located for this edition, containing 20,305 division rows statewide. The older 249-row director inventory is used only to cross-reference the name and USSSA Director ID 7746016; the primary division dataset controls the financial and participation totals. There are 19 different base TournamentID values and 19 distinct listed USSSA event IDs. Divisions are not counted as separate tournaments. All 55 calculated fee rows satisfy TeamsEntered × EntryFeePerTeam = TotalTeamEntryFee, and all source financial component equations reconcile arithmetically. Arithmetic agreement is not independent confirmation that financial transactions occurred.
No prior-profile repetition. The Day 1 research introduction and earlier director articles are separate installments. This Day 29 profile is not an additional allegation, nor is it the same subject as the immediately preceding Days 22–28 profiles.
1 | USSSA season reconciliation
Historical event start dates are in March–October 2021 and March–October 2022, even though the data assigns fall 2022 events to USSSA season 2023. Confusing calendar year with season year would misdate these events.
| USSSA season | Event listings | Division rows | Team entries | Calculated advertised entry fees | Minimum-game equivalents | Estimated official assignments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 6 | 15 | 120 | $27,102 | 345 | 581 |
| 2022 | 10 | 29 | 252 | $50,638 | 663 | 1109 |
| 2023 | 3 | 11 | 101 | $19,861 | 273 | 452 |
| TOTAL | 19 | 55 | 473 | $97,601 | 1281 | 2142 |
Interpretation: Team entries may repeat across events; the data do not establish 473 unique teams. The minimum-game and umpire-assignment figures derive from source game-guarantee and officiating assumptions, not actual completed-game logs or distinct officials paid. Baseball has zero selected division rows under this director name; all 55 are labeled softball.
2 | Venue and municipal geography
The dataset's exact facility category is “Wildhorse Park”, with the source address 1201 N. Mustang Road, Mustang, Oklahoma 73064, Canadian County. That address matches the City of Mustang Parks & Recreation contact address and the Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation Department's Wild Horse Park listing. The City's park directory includes Wild Horse Park among Mustang's municipal parks. TravelOK describes a six-field baseball complex and a five-field softball complex within the wider park. Those current references verify a named city park and address; they do not establish the precise 2021–22 field assignments, rental terms, or collection rights.
| Facility association | Evidence and status |
|---|---|
| Dataset label | Wildhorse Park (55 division rows; 19 event identifiers) |
| Verified current park name | Wild Horse Park |
| Address | 1201 N. Mustang Road, Mustang, OK 73064 — independently corroborated |
| Municipality / county | Mustang / Canadian County |
| Municipal context | City park directory lists Wild Horse Park; separate historical operating agreements not reviewed |
| Actual field assignments / admitted spectators | Not verified |
| 2021–22 leases, facility fees, gate and concession rights | Not verified |
An event's geographic association must not be mistaken for municipal receipt of entry fees or exclusive control of all tournament revenues. One source facility is listed: the $97,601 is not an allocation to City of Mustang accounts.
3 | Original USSSA results: what is independently corroborated
The historical original-results pages below were independently accessible during the November 9, 2026 research review; each identifies “Results provided by Kelsey Jones” and includes team standings and score records. These are division-specific pages, not an independent audit of all 55 divisions:
- April 30, 2021 — Mustang's Warriors For Freedom, girls 8U results: director attribution, team list, pool/bracket scores.
- October 2, 2021 — Mustang's Play For Pink, girls 8U results: director attribution and completed-game scores.
- October 22, 2021 — Mustang's Spooktacular Bash, girls 8U results: director attribution and scores.
- March 25, 2022 — March Madness, girls 12U results: director attribution and bracket scores.
The supplemental director inventory lists USSSA Director ID 7746016. The modern profile URL did not provide independently readable details in this review, so its present status and current contact affiliation remain unverified. The original-results links above serve as the independent historical director-attribution evidence.
The primary dataset also preserves season-search URLs (USSSA 2021 season search; USSSA 2022 season search; USSSA 2023 season search) and individual source-listed event URLs in the table below. Their live accessibility and their completeness are not verified; links are transcribed directly from source data, not invented.
4 | Complete 19-listing event register
Every row below represents a distinct event identifier, not a claim of completed play. The indicated fee is the sum of publicly advertised per-team price multiplied by associated listed team entries. The rainout-labeled event is intentionally retained and flagged, not silently deleted.

| May 07, 2022 | May Match Up | 2022 | 1 | 5 | $1,050 | USSSA 363088 |
| Jun 10, 2022 | USSSA State Tournament | 2022 | 2 | 24 | $6,960 | USSSA 363435 |
| Jun 24, 2022 | Firecracker Classic | 2022 | 4 | 30 | $6,604 | USSSA 363090 |
| Sep 17, 2022 | Mustang’s Western Days | 2023 | 3 | 26 | $5,278 | USSSA 368776 |
| Sep 30, 2022 | Mustang’s Play 4 Pink | 2023 | 3 | 33 | $6,618 | USSSA 368779 |
| Oct 21, 2022 | Mustang's Spooktacular Bash | 2023 | 5 | 42 | $7,965 | USSSA 368780 |
Important completion limitation: “Rainout – Mustang’s Firecracker Classic” has five source division rows and 37 team-event entries with a 3-day model. Its label is a red flag for verification but, standing alone, does not prove whether games were entirely canceled, partially played, rescheduled, or how any fees were handled. The historical source's division status is labeled “Division,” not a completed-game certification. Original outcome, refund, schedule and attendance records for this event were not located.
5 | Modeling admissions and net concession proceeds — five alternatives
The Hidden Valley gate fields are illustrative formulas, not admissions ledgers. For this director the source calculations use 20 hypothetical paying spectator admissions per team-event entry per charged day, at a $5 daily price. Source listings use one, two or three modeled event days. The assumption can overstate or understate actual attendance, and no verified ticket-sales policy for these 19 events was produced in this review.
Equations shown explicitly:
Hypothetical gate = team-event entries × 20 assumed paid spectator admissions × $5 per day × modeled charged days.
Hypothetical gross concession sales = modeled gate × 50%.
Hypothetical concession operating allowance = modeled gross concession sales × 80%.
Hypothetical net concession proceeds = modeled gross concession sales − allowance = modeled gate × 10%.
| Alternative assumption set | Modeled gate | Gross concessions (50% gate) | Concession allowance (80% sales) | Modeled net concessions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source-calendar, all listings | $130,600 | $65,300 | $52,240 | $13,060 |
| Source calendar, rainout-labeled listing excluded | $119,500 | $59,750 | $47,800 | $11,950 |
| Source days capped at two, all listings | $94,100 | $47,050 | $37,640 | $9,410 |
| Two-day cap, excluding rainout-labeled listing | $86,700 | $43,350 | $34,680 | $8,670 |
| One day, excluding rainout-labeled listing | $43,600 | $21,800 | $17,440 | $4,360 |
One worked example: The source treats the rainout-labeled 2021 listing as 37 team entries × 20 hypothetical paying spectators × $5 × 3 modeled days = $11,100 hypothetical gate; it also generates $5,550 gross concessions and $1,110 modeled net concessions under this article's cost assumptions. None is documented cash received. Excluding this 37-entry listing from the other 18 events leaves 436 entries and $89,339 in calculated advertised entry fees, still not necessarily actual collections. We are not claiming a refund or a completed cancellation; those remain unresolved.
Do not add scenarios. Each line is an alternative, not a separate revenue source. There is no evidence establishing how many paying spectators attended, whether players/coaches were exempt, whether admissions were collected at all, or whether any concession operator owed a separate fee to the park.
6 | Avoiding double counting: gross fee, source income and event-net fields
The controlling division records sum to $97,601 calculated gross advertised entry fees. Its original illustrated financial fields sum to $130,600 modeled gate and $65,300 modeled gross concession sales, creating a spreadsheet field labeled $293,501 TotalEventIncome:
$97,601 + $130,600 + $65,300 = $293,501 source-modeled Event Income.
The spreadsheet further subtracts $85,680 modeled umpire fees and $6,155 modeled USSSA sanction fees, producing $201,666 in the spreadsheet field labeled TotalEventNet:
$293,501 − $85,680 − $6,155 = $201,666 source-modeled Event Net.
That $201,666 is not verified net profit, because the spreadsheet's event-net formula has not separately deducted the full modeled costs of concession inventory and labor, field rental, maintenance, refunds, staffing, insurance and other unknown expenses. Applying the illustrative 80% concession expense assumption to the source model would deduct $52,240 and yield $149,426 before other unverified costs — still not operating profit.
The modeled gate and gross concessions are already inside the source TotalEventIncome field. Adding them again to $293,501 would double count them. Neither $97,601 nor $201,666 is proof of personal income for Kelsey Jones or income to the City of Mustang.
7 | Data-quality limitations and the verification queue
The 55 source records passed the arithmetic fee and financial-model checks, but several material facts remain unknown:
- Rainout-labeled event: Game completion/cancellation, rescheduled dates, refunds, registration disposition and actual paid admission remain unverified.
- Schedules and scorecards: Four selected division-specific historical results pages were corroborated; individual completed game logs for the rest of the event register were not comprehensively confirmed.
- USSSA director profile: Director ID 7746016 is listed in the older inventory but the live details were not readable independently.
- Actual income or expenses: Bank deposits, ticket counts, concessions POS, facility invoices, sanction remittances and umpires' receipts were not obtained.
- Venue responsibilities: Exact 2021–22 field agreements, public maintenance costs, ownership of gate/concession rights and event permits were not established.
- Season conventions: 2023 refers to the USSSA numbered season, not to a calendar-year start date; none of these source-listed events starts in calendar 2023.
- Coverage: The September 20, 2026 source is a research reconstruction of public listings. The absence of later or earlier records under this exact director name does not prove no other activity took place.
8 | Questions for public-facility oversight
- Which written park-use, tournament scheduling or operating agreements governed softball events at Wild Horse Park during March 2021–October 2022?
- Were admission charges permitted or collected at these dates, and who determined the policy?
- Which organization had contractual concession rights, and were revenue reports required?
- Did the City collect field rentals, maintenance reimbursements, utility fees, deposits or other charges for these events?
- Did contractual reporting requirements distinguish weekend tournaments from community-league play?
- Can original field reservations identify which diamonds were used and which dates were actually played?
- For June 25–27, 2021, what did the rainout-labeled record mean, and were fees refunded, credited, carried forward or retained under published terms?
- Were umpires paid through an organization, a central assigning entity or directly, and what records survive?
- Were public investments, maintenance work orders or staffing allocations recorded by complex and event?
- What safeguards governed reasonable local youth-program access when outside tournaments sought field time?
- Were event operators required to provide insurance certificates, participant protections and financial activity summaries?
- Where applicable, did the municipality reconcile event permits, concessions, admissions and invoices against its general ledger?
These are questions for verification and stewardship. They do not assert misconduct by any individual, nonprofit, city or tournament operator.
