Tournament & League Activity

The Hidden Valley dataset includes both tournament play and USSSA league activity. Some league records may identify teams, divisions, start dates, finish dates, directors, locations, facilities and other operational information while simultaneously displaying a $0.00 Team Entry Fee.

$0.00 in Calculated Team Entry Fees does not necessarily mean $0.00 in documented operational activity. It means the public USSSA information captured did not identify a Team Entry Fee for that record. This could reflect an apparently free league or another fee arrangement not visible in the public USSSA Team Entry Fee field, including the possibility of locally administered fees. The dataset does not state that local fees were collected unless supporting documentation establishes that fact, and it does not estimate or impute unsupported fees.

Calculated Team Entry Fee Methodology

Participating Teams × Publicly Posted Team Entry Fee = Calculated Team Entry Fees

Calculated Team Entry Fees are analytical measurements derived from publicly available USSSA information. They are not USSSA-reported aggregate revenue, director income, personal compensation, profit, taxable income, net proceeds or audited financial statements. The $77,933 displayed in this profile does not establish that Scott Nelson personally received $77,933.

Baseball and Softball Activity

The report identifies $74,219 in baseball Calculated Team Entry Fees and $158 in softball Calculated Team Entry Fees. Baseball therefore represents approximately 99.8% of the displayed $74,377 calculated total, while softball represents a small but separately documented component.

Sport-level Calculated Team Entry Fee totals describe publicly visible fee activity captured in the source records. They should not be interpreted as personal income, compensation, profit, taxable income, or audited revenue.

Calculated Team Entry Fees by Season

2007 — $33,097 is the largest displayed season, representing approximately 44.5% of the $74,377 total. The report also displays 2006 — $20,681, 2005 — $10,751, 2004 — $7,420, and 2003 — $2,428.

This visualization shows Calculated Team Entry Fees by season. $0.00-fee tournament or league activity can still contribute to operational measures without increasing the displayed season-level dollar totals.

Calculated Team Entry Fees by Municipality

Shawnee
$61,380
Seminole
$5,846
Ada
$5,261
Edmond
$1,890

Shawnee — $61,380 is the dominant municipality association, representing approximately 82.5% of the displayed calculated total. The report also identifies Seminole — $5,846, Ada — $5,261, and Edmond — $1,890. These values represent geographic associations in applicable USSSA records and should not be interpreted as municipal revenue.

Calculated Team Entry Fees by County

Pottawatomie
$61,380
Seminole
$5,846
Pontotoc
$5,261
Oklahoma
$1,890

Pottawatomie County — $61,380 is the dominant county association. The report also identifies Seminole County — $5,846, Pontotoc County — $5,261, and Oklahoma County — $1,890. These values represent geographic associations and should not be interpreted as county revenue.

Calculated Team Entry Fees by Facility

Lions Club Ballfields
$61,380
Seminole Youth Baseball
$5,846
Ada Youth Baseball
$4,471
Hafer Park/A C Caplinger Sports Complex
$1,890
Ada Sports Complex
$790
Hafer Park/A C Caplinger Sports Complex, Mitch Park
$0

Lions Club Ballfields — $61,380 is the dominant single-facility category. Other independently displayed single-facility categories include Seminole Youth Baseball — $5,846, Ada Youth Baseball — $4,471, Hafer Park/A C Caplinger Sports Complex — $1,890, and Ada Sports Complex — $790.

The report separately displays Hafer Park/A C Caplinger Sports Complex, Mitch Park — $0 as a multi-facility configuration. This is one combined event classification and the amount must not be duplicated and independently assigned to both facilities. The $0 value also illustrates the Hidden Valley methodology: a $0.00 publicly reported Team Entry Fee does not necessarily mean $0.00 in documented operational activity.

Facility data does not, by itself, establish facility rental payments, revenue sharing, facility income, allocation of entry fees, distributions, net proceeds, or subsequent disposition of event funds.
