Logan County: Guthrie’s Three Multi-County Event Records, the Primary-Host Verification Test & the Public-Benefit Ledger
Youth sports · Public facilities · Primary-host verification · Historical model limitations
Research date: November 15, 2026 | WordPress-ready research draft — NOT published; NOT an audit or finding of wrongdoing.READ FIRST — ZERO IS NOT “NO ACTIVITY.” The CSV has three Logan-linked division rows but every row names two or more counties. Under the primary-host allocation rule, zero event groups are currently verified for exclusive Logan County attribution. This does not mean Logan County hosted no games. The figures below are unresolved multi-county source-record totals, not Logan County revenue, local visitor spending, tax collections or public benefit.
1. Executive findings
The accessible 20,305-row September 20-labelled CSV was inspected directly. Exactly three division records contain Logan in the comma-separated County field. Each has a distinct tournament ID, and each lists multiple municipalities or facilities across county boundaries. No event-specific primary host has been verified. The proposed Day 31 McClain article is superseded, and this Logan County installment does not repeat any of the 30 previously covered county installments.
2. Countywide allocation and the unresolved financial envelope
| Metric | Verified Logan allocation | Unresolved multi-county rows |
|---|---|---|
| Distinct event IDs | 0 | 3 |
| Division records | 0 | 3 |
| Team participations | 0 | 154 |
| Gross entry fees | Not attributable | $106,645.00 |
| Modeled gross gate | Not attributable | $48,700.00 |
| Modeled gross concessions | Not attributable | $24,350.00 |
| Scenario-net concessions 30% | Not attributable | $7,305.00 |
| Scenario-net concessions 50% | Not attributable | $12,175.00 |
| Scenario-net concessions 70% | Not attributable | $17,045.00 |
| Source minimum games | Not attributable | 537 |
| Official assignment slots | Not attributable | 1,074 |
| Modeled umpire costs | Not attributable | $42,960.00 |
| Modeled sanction fees | Not attributable | $1,540.00 |
3. Three-event evidence ledger
| Event ID | Date / division | Event | Teams | County labels | Facilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13741-6 | 6/4/2022 / 14B | Road to the Show – WCWS – NO Stay to Play 5GG | 89 | Logan, Oklahoma, Pottawatomie | Dale High School, EOC All Sports Complex, Firelake Ballfields, Guthrie All Sports, North Rock Creek High School, Shawnee High School |
| 11791-2 | 5/26/2023 / 14AA | 5GG Memorial Day Shootout Stay-to-Play | 25 | Cleveland, Grady, Kingfisher, Logan, Oklahoma | Buck Thomas Park, Cashion High School, Midwest City MAC, Reed Baseball Complex, Tuttle High School |
| 14058-3 | 6/3/2023 / 16O | 3rd ANNUAL ROAD TO THE SHOW – WCWS WEEKEND | 40 | Logan, Oklahoma | Guthrie All Sports, Mitch Park |
4. Municipality and facility reconciliation
Verified Logan municipality and facility allocation: zero. The following are presence-only location crosswalks. An event row with Guthrie listed alongside other municipalities is not divisible into Guthrie’s share without a field-level schedule or authoritative primary-host designation.
| Logan-linked label | Event ID | Competing locations | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guthrie All Sports / Guthrie | 13741-6 | Dale, Harrah, Shawnee and tribal locations | Unresolved |
| Cashion High School / Cashion | 11791-2 | Moore, Midwest City and Tuttle | Unresolved |
| Guthrie All Sports / Guthrie | 14058-3 | Mitch Park / Edmond | Unresolved |
Facility-level financial reconciliation is therefore: Guthrie verified = $0 assigned; Cashion verified = $0 assigned; unresolved shared-event pool = the source-record totals in Section 2. These zero assignments are not assertions that no money was earned in either municipality.
5. Dedicated countywide economic-impact reconciliation
| CSV impact field | Verified Logan attribution | Unresolved shared-event source rows |
|---|---|---|
| DayImpact | Not attributable | $13,090.00 |
| OvernightImpact | Not attributable | $96,237.00 |
| TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent | Not attributable | $109,327.00 |
Check: $13,090.00 + $96,237.00 = $109,327.00. This is a reconciliation of three multi-county division rows, not a Logan County economic-impact estimate. Source field TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent is stored once per division row, despite the “PerEvent” name.
6. Economic formulas, row-level variation and worked example
DayImpact = TeamsEntered × DayTripRate × DayStay. OvernightImpact = TeamsEntered × NightTripRate × OverNightStay. Source rates are $85 day-trip and $289 overnight for all three rows; OverNightStay varies between two and three. These are input assumptions, not measured trip surveys.
| Event ID | Teams | Day rate | Day stay | Night rate | Night stay | DayImpact | OvernightImpact | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13741-6 | 89 | $85.00 | 1 | $289.00 | 2 | $7,565.00 | $51,442.00 | $59,007.00 |
| 11791-2 | 25 | $85.00 | 1 | $289.00 | 3 | $2,125.00 | $21,675.00 | $23,800.00 |
| 14058-3 | 40 | $85.00 | 1 | $289.00 | 2 | $3,400.00 | $23,120.00 | $26,520.00 |
Worked example: 2023 Memorial Day Shootout, division 14AA, 25 teams: 25 × $85 × 1 = $2,125 day-trip model; 25 × $289 × 3 = $21,675 overnight model; combined = $23,800. The event includes several counties, so the $23,800 is not attributable exclusively to Logan County.
7. Financial source columns and assumptions
Original columns used: TournamentID, EventDivisionID, County, Municipality, Facility, Address, TeamsEntered, EntryFeePerTeam, TotalTeamEntryFee, DailyFans, DailyAdmissionFee, TotalEventDays, TotalEventGate, TotalEventConcession, TotalMinimumGamesPlayed, TotalEventUmpires, TotalEventUmpireFees, TotalUSSSASanctionFees and all rate/stay/impact fields. Gross entry fees are source calculated values; verify as TeamsEntered × EntryFeePerTeam. Gate uses source estimated spectators/admission/days; concessions are source modeled values; scenario net concessions = gross concessions × 30%, 50% or 70% assumed margins. Official slots are modeled game assignments, not distinct people. No records of actual cash collections were reviewed.
8. Guthrie athletic facilities and historical name crosswalk
The City of Guthrie describes municipal maintenance of athletic fields at Cottonwood Flats, Owens Field and Kiwanis Field [S1]. A Guthrie visitor directory lists Owen Field at 203 S. Academy Road and Kiwanis Park at 701 N. Pine Street [S2]. The 2022 source row calls a venue “Guthrie All Sports” at 203 S Academy Rd. This is a promising address crosswalk, not proof of identical historical legal title, event-level hosting or contractual responsibility. Request facility calendars, field assignments, rental permits and contemporaneous maps before merging names.
9. Cashion, school facilities and ownership safeguards
The 2023 Memorial Day event includes Cashion High School, but the source lists four municipalities and five counties. A school venue label is not proof of district ownership, and the presence of a town name is not a municipal ownership finding. For any verified single-municipality event, use the displayed municipality as an analytical placeholder only, clearly labeled “assumed municipal ownership — legal title not independently verified.” Override that placeholder when deed, school, tribal, county or private records establish the owner. No placeholder ownership assignment is applied to the unresolved records here.
10. Municipal cooperation, access and public-benefit questions
Potential public benefits include local access to fields, maintenance partnerships, nonprofit youth participation and visitor spending. None has been quantified for these three events. Relevant records include interlocal agreements, school use agreements, field permits, event bids, insurance certificates, scholarship policies, fee waivers, concession rights, maintenance logs, public-access calendars and payment reconciliations. Compare benefits and public costs only after confirming the actual host and contractual parties.
11. Municipal audit and county audit oversight
The City of Guthrie FY2024 independent financial audit reports an unmodified opinion, no material weaknesses and no significant deficiencies reported in its cited summary [S3]. These audit conclusions do not verify 2022–2023 tournament receipts, nor do they establish that any event was tested. Oklahoma’s State Auditor and Inspector has statewide and county audit responsibilities [S7]. A Logan County tournament-specific state-audit finding was not identified in the sources reviewed; the county’s relevant audit years, audit scope and any separate findings require targeted retrieval. Absence of an identified finding is not a clean bill of health.
12. District Attorney jurisdiction and court-case safeguards
Logan County is within District Attorney District 9, also serving Payne County [S4–S5]. The DA’s statutory role does not make every nonprofit dispute or municipal records question a criminal matter. No official case specifically tying the three listed tournaments to charges, adjudicated violations or court findings was verified in the sources reviewed. Therefore no case is presented as an adverse finding. Any future case entry must state the court, case number, filing, parties, allegations, dispositions and whether an appeal is pending, using the actual official docket—not third-party allegations.
13. Primary-host verification decision tree
- Obtain original event bracket, game-by-game schedules and field codes for all three event IDs.
- Identify the event’s primary facility using a documented primary-host rule and contemporaneous records.
- Independently verify the physical address and county of that primary facility.
- Assign all division rows of the same event to that one county; do not split an event across counties.
- If the primary host remains unclear, retain the event in the unresolved statewide pool and do not add it to Logan totals.
- Record evidence URL, reviewer, decision date and any corrections to prior county summaries.
14. Public records requests — proposed, not submitted
City of Guthrie: request 2022 and 2023 field rental agreements, game calendars, permit applications, event communications, receipts, gate and concessions arrangements, and city expenditure ledgers for Guthrie All Sports/Owen Field, including any aliases.
Logan County: request records of county-owned facility use, public payments, sponsorships or interlocal agreements, if any. Cashion Public Schools: request 2023 field calendars, rental agreements, invoices, concessions and board approvals. Event directors/USSSA: request primary-host designation, field maps and division schedules for IDs 13741-6, 11791-2 and 14058-3. Each request should specify electronic copies and the Oklahoma Open Records Act where applicable; school/tribal/private access rules may differ.
15. Right of response
Before drawing conclusions about money received or responsibility for operations, offer the City of Guthrie, Cashion Public Schools, relevant county officials, tournament directors and affected field operators a documented opportunity to supply primary-host evidence, financial records, agreements and corrections. No responses were solicited during preparation of this draft.
16. Corrections and limitations
Maintain a dated change log for every corrected event ID, venue name, county attribution and model field. The accessible source file contains 20,305 division rows, while the earlier statewide methodology control references 20,316; the 11-row difference has not been reconciled. The three Logan-linked rows are present in the inspected file. Figures are source-modeled scenarios, not independently audited collections, taxes, organizational profit or demonstrated net-new economic impact. Do not add modeled gate, entry fees, concessions or event net to visitor-spending estimates without an overlap analysis. No misconduct is alleged.

Dataset: AIUSSSA - HVIOG 9-20-2026(2).csv, accessible copy inspected November 15, 2026; 20,305 rows, 65 source columns; three rows explicitly name Logan County. The CSV includes links to USSSA event pages, but event-level primary host is not established by the multi-facility strings alone.
18. Public-interest conclusion
Logan County’s responsible starting point is not an estimated dollar total: it is the distinction between appearing on a multi-county tournament record and being independently established as the primary host. The three unresolved events warrant a targeted records investigation. The public benefits from an honest ledger that preserves unknowns rather than converting them into unsupported county revenue claims.
