USSSA Tournament Directors — The Public Record
TJ Millus | Bouse Sports Complex, Buck Thomas Park, FireLake Ballfields & the Multi-Facility Accounting Test
Historical Oklahoma softball activity, 2015 and 2024–2026
Research profile — not an accusation or a statement of actual earnings1. Why this Day 33 research matters
Oklahoma softball tournaments can involve municipal parks, school facilities, and tribal recreation properties in a single event record. When an event lists multiple venues, the accounting question is not simply where the games were advertised: it is which entity authorized use of each facility, who set and collected each type of fee, who provided concessions and officials, and what documentation describes the distribution of receipts and costs. This investigation examines records attributed to TJ Millus and asks those questions without presuming answers or alleging misconduct.
This is the first daily director installment devoted to TJ Millus in the user-provided completed Day 1–32 register. The public existing Baseball Heaven director reference page is an older activity profile, not a prior daily investigation in this series.
2. Source hierarchy and controlling-data limitation
Our preferred controlling source is the full row-level AIUSSSA — Hidden Valley Integrity Of The Game research dataset. A fresh copy of that raw division-level CSV was not available in the materials accessible for this edition. Accordingly, this article does not claim to have re-audited its eight event identifiers, raw division URLs, event status or the latest revisions after the September 20, 2026 inventory snapshot.
The September 20, 2026 director inventory workbook is the accessible quantified source for the tables below. Its master, year and facility views were independently cross-added for arithmetic. The separate public director directory and TJ Millus profile support the same core activity measures. These derivative sources are provisional relative to any later raw CSV and should be superseded where the latest underlying division-level records differ.
Director name and supplemental crosswalk ID 4583729 appear in the local historical directory. That crosswalk is a secondary identifier; a present-day individual USSSA profile was not independently retrieved. The legacy pointer is available here for reader follow-up but its current live availability remains unverified.
3. Season-by-season reconciliation: 2015 and 2024–2026
The source has records for four seasons only. It is not appropriate to infer continuous activity, fees or appointments for 2016–2023 from this snapshot. Likewise, a listed 2026 event does not independently establish that it was completed.
| Season | Distinct events | Division rows | Team-event entries | Calculated advertised fees | Minimum games | Modeled officials | Modeled umpire cost* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 1 | 3 | 20 | $2,640 | 57 | 114 | $4,560 |
| 2024 | 2 | 6 | 114 | $71,250 | 395 | 790 | $31,600 |
| 2025 | 4 | 7 | 90 | $55,935 | 299 | 598 | $23,920 |
| 2026 | 1 | 3 | 34 | $21,250 | 99 | 198 | $7,920 |
| TOTAL | 8 | 19 | 258 | $151,075 | 850 | 1,700 | $68,000 |
*The older inventory's modeled umpire expense is $40 × 1,700 assignments = $68,000; the calculation is an assumption, not paid payroll, expense receipts or proof of any official's compensation. Calculated fee totals equal summed team count × posted entry fee on underlying records where available; team-level prices and adjustments were not independently visible for this article.
Arithmetic checks: 1 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 8 distinct events; 3 + 6 + 7 + 3 = 19 division rows; 20 + 114 + 90 + 34 = 258 team entries; $2,640 + $71,250 + $55,935 + $21,250 = $151,075; 57 + 395 + 299 + 99 = 850 games; and 114 + 790 + 598 + 198 = 1,700 modeled assignments. No season is counted twice.
4. Sports, role and event-status boundaries
All $151,075 of the calculated entry fees in the derivative director record are categorized as softball, with $0 baseball. The public director page identifies TJ Millus as an Area Director in the study's classification system; that is a source description, not verification of current employment, contract status or authority. Historical events may include tournament or league structures; event-type flags, cancellations, fee waivers and final brackets need row-level examination before determining completed-event totals.
The source reports 19 divisions across eight distinct events; because specific age-group rows and guaranteed-game values were not accessible here, no division-by-division schedules or individual fee amounts are invented.
5. Facility-by-facility and geographic evidence
Seven single- or multi-venue configurations appear in the inventory. Each is maintained as its own attribution category. The historical location labels do not, by themselves, verify venue ownership, access agreements, or the actual site of each scheduled game.
| Recorded facility / configuration | Dataset municipality label | Dataset county label | Event incidences† | Team entries | Calculated fees | Minimum games | Officials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bouse Sports Complex | Choctaw | Oklahoma | 2 | 78 | $48,750 | 252 | 504 |
| Bouse Sports Complex, Buck Thomas Park | Choctaw, Moore | Cleveland, Oklahoma | 1 | 24 | $15,000 | 83 | 166 |
| Buck Thomas Park | Moore | Cleveland | 4 | 63 | $39,060 | 217 | 434 |
| Buck Thomas Park, Firelake Ballfields | Citizen Pottawatomi Nation, Moore | Cleveland, Pottawatomie | 1 | 27 | $16,875 | 94 | 188 |
| Buck Thomas Park, Moore High School | Moore | Cleveland | 1 | 25 | $15,625 | 86 | 172 |
| Davis Ballpark | Oklahoma City | Oklahoma | 1 | 20 | $2,640 | 57 | 114 |
| Firelake Ballfields | Citizen Pottawatomi Nation | Pottawatomie | 1 | 21 | $13,125 | 61 | 122 |
| TOTAL | — | — | 11 venue incidences† | 258 | $151,075 | 850 | 1,700 |
†The event-incidence column sums to 11, not eight, because event membership in venue configurations can overlap. The rows reconcile exactly on the 258 team entries, $151,075 calculated fees, 850 minimum games and 1,700 assignments. Do not add the three multi-facility rows to their component parks again.
Address and jurisdiction verification
| Venue / recorded relationship | Grounded geographic finding | Address source | What remains unresolved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bouse Sports Complex | Choctaw, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma | City facility page: 1313 N. Indian Meridian; another City page: 1333 N. Indian Meridian | Two City pages give different street numbers. Confirm which serves as official venue/entrance address for the recorded years. |
| Buck Thomas Park | Moore, Cleveland County, Oklahoma | City of Moore: 1903 NE 12th Street, Moore, OK 73160 | Historical lease permissions, field assignments, admissions and concession rights unverified. |
| FireLake Ballfields | Shawnee area / Citizen Potawatomi Nation venue designation; Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma | Visit Shawnee: 18160 Rangeline Rd, Shawnee, OK 74801 | Tribal facility management and fee allocation must not be inferred to follow municipal rules. |
| Moore High School | Moore, Cleveland County, Oklahoma | Moore Public Schools: 300 N. Eastern, Moore, OK 73160 | Campus address verified; precise tournament field and facility-use agreement not verified. |
| Davis Ballpark | Oklahoma City venue label; historical inventory county: Oklahoma County (needs parcel check) | SportsEngine: 12102 S. May Ave; NCS: 12101 S. May Ave, OKC 73170 | Conflicting street numbers and ZIP codes; exact historical entrance/parcel and county are not verified. |
6. Event schedule, USSSA and independent evidence
The 8-event count is supported by the director inventory but the event-by-event IDs, names, start/end dates, age divisions, final schedules and bracket links were not retrievable from the accessible raw source. Therefore a fabricated eight-event event ledger would be misleading. The evidence register below identifies what is available and what cannot be used as an automatic substitute.
| Evidence link | Finding | Attribution status | Included in eight-event totals? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public director inventory | TJ Millus: 8 events, 19 divisions, director ID 4583729. | Dataset-derived published summary; event IDs not shown. | Yes, as summary only |
| Official USSSA fastpitch event search | Official interface allows event / director / season queries. | Individual matching events not resolved. | No additional events counted |
| Official USSSA director search | Official director search endpoint. | Individual profile record not verified in this run. | No |
| 2024 USSSA tournament results | ARMAGEDDON — Elite Team Challenge; May 10, 2024; source credits Terry Millus. | Identity equivalence between Terry and TJ and inclusion in the 8 event IDs unverified. | Not separately added |
| 2025 CFL Championship public listing | Names TJ Millus as a contact; November 14–16, 2025; listing states Alliance sanction. | Independent association, not verified USSSA dataset event. | No — excluded |
Readers with archived USSSA event pages, registration exports, game schedules, fee posters or final standings for these eight events are invited to submit source copies. A match should include the event ID and season; matching only the name of a contact or host facility is not enough.
7. Advertised entry fees and why they are not revenue statements
Calculated advertised entry fees = Σ (documented team entries within a division × that division's posted team fee).
Source-derived sum = $151,075 (softball). This is an analytical gross-fee figure; it is not audited revenue, payment processing deposits, cash retained, taxable income, profit or a sum paid to TJ Millus.
Historical umpire expense model = 1,700 estimated assignments × $40/assignment = $68,000 hypothetical expense, not verified disbursements.
Unknowns include cancellations, refunds, scholarships or discounts, individual payment channels, convenience fees, umpire rates, staffing methods, tournament contracts and property owners' shares. A multi-site listing does not justify counting the $151,075 at each participating location. No municipal or tribal receipt can be deduced from these data.
8. Gate admissions and net concessions: disclosed scenarios
The derivative snapshot has 258 team-event entries. For a transparent sensitivity test only, suppose each team entry creates an average number of spectator-day admissions and a hypothetical price. No source verified that every one of these eight events charged admission or sold concessions, that every team attended all assumed days, or that any one entity retained the proceeds.
Modeled admissions = 258 team entries × assumed spectators per team per day × assumed event days.
Hypothetical gate gross = modeled admissions × assumed gate charge.
Hypothetical concession gross = modeled admissions × assumed spending per spectator-day.
Hypothetical net concession contribution = concession gross × assumed net contribution margin (after modeled direct cost). This is not audited net profit.
| Scenario | Spectators/team × days | Gate price | Modeled admissions | Hypothetical gross gate | Spend/admission | Gross concessions | Net margin | Hypothetical net concessions | Gate + net concessions* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low sensitivity | 6 × 1 | $5 | 1,548 | $7,740 | $6 | $9,288 | 20% | $1,857.60 | $9,597.60 |
| Central illustration | 10 × 2 | $8 | 5,160 | $41,280 | $7 | $36,120 | 25% | $9,030.00 | $50,310.00 |
| High sensitivity | 14 × 2 | $10 | 7,224 | $72,240 | $10 | $72,240 | 30% | $21,672.00 | $93,912.00 |
*Gate + net concessions is a hypothetical component comparison only, not actual cash flow. It excludes facility rental, staff/security, insurance, ticketing fees, utilities, sanitation, volunteer support, administration, tournament advertising, refunds, travel, prizes and other operations. None of the scenario amounts should be added to the $151,075 as a historical finding. Hypothetical concessions are not counted twice: gross sales appear for disclosure, while only the modeled margin appears in the final scenario column.
Worked central example
258 × 10 spectators × 2 days = 5,160 hypothetical admissions. At $8 per spectator-day, hypothetical gate gross is $41,280. At $7 concession spend per admission, hypothetical concession sales are $36,120; a 25% contribution margin yields $9,030 in modeled net concessions. Gate plus that hypothetical concession contribution equals $50,310. These assumptions are not evidence of what anyone collected or earned.
9. Multi-facility allocation is the central accountability test
Three combined venue categories appear in this dataset-derived footprint: Bouse + Buck Thomas ($15,000), Buck Thomas + FireLake ($16,875), and Buck Thomas + Moore High School ($15,625). Together they represent $47,500 in calculated advertised fees, 76 team entries, 263 minimum games and 526 modeled official assignments. Those values are already included in the master totals.
The combined categories do not show the actual host, fee recipient, field distribution, number of games played at a particular venue or any approved fee-sharing formula. No component city, school or tribal enterprise should be assigned the full combined category without event-specific evidence. A later county-level audit should resolve the event's primary facility before attribution.
10. Public-interest questions for facility managers
- Authority: Which signed leases, use permits or event reservations governed the listed tournament dates?
- Primary facility: Which venue served as primary host for each multi-site event?
- Admissions: Was a gate admission charged; what were the age/rate policies and documented collection arrangements?
- Concessions: Which organization held concession rights at each site, and under what contract?
- Payment records: Were entry fees processed through USSSA, a tournament operator, a municipal account or another authorized channel?
- Municipal reporting: Did the Cities of Choctaw or Moore require event reports, financial statements, revenue-share remittances or proof of insurance?
- School use: What school district approval or facility-use agreement covered Moore High School?
- Tribal facility: What documentation can the FireLake facility operator voluntarily provide to clarify access and accounting, while respecting tribal jurisdiction and record policies?
- Umpires: Which assignments, actual pay rates and disbursements are recorded, and who was contractually responsible?
- Condition and cost: Who paid for lighting, preparation, restroom service, field maintenance and post-event restoration?
- Address correction: Which Bouse and Davis Ballpark street addresses identify the historical playing sites?
- Public record integrity: Can archived schedules, cancellations, division lists and results be matched to the eight distinct event IDs?
These are requests for documentation and transparency. They are not statements that required reports were missing, money was diverted or any law was broken.
11. Verification matrix and outstanding records
| Research element | Current status | What would close the gap |
|---|---|---|
| TJ Millus name / 4 identified seasons | Supported by Sept. 20 dataset derivative | Latest original division-level CSV for exact-name match |
| 8 season-qualified distinct events | Supported by director master and by-year workbook; raw event URLs unavailable | Eight historical event IDs plus URL, event name, dates and final schedule |
| 19 division rows / 258 team entries | Supported by year-level arithmetic | Original division rows, division statuses, rate histories and correction flags |
| $151,075 calculated advertised fees | Supported by both workbook and public profile | Original fee × team row checks, waiver/refund reports |
| 850 games / 1,700 officials | Supported by workbook; estimated assignments | Rule-specific game guarantees, bracket records and payroll |
| Bouse address | Official sources conflict: 1313 vs 1333 | Site/city confirmation for historical field entrance |
| Davis Ballpark address | Directories conflict on number and ZIP | Operator or parcel verification |
| Primary county for multi-facility events | Unresolved | Original event primary host and site roster |
| Current individual USSSA director profile | Legacy crosswalk URL; live response unverified | Official current or archived USSSA director page |
| Actual gate, concessions, fee recipients or profits | Unverified; scenarios illustrative only | Contracts, settlements, receipts, accounting ledgers and payment reports |
Updated-record principle: if the current full Hidden Valley CSV contains new rows, modified fees, changed event IDs or cancellations, revise this article from the primary division records first. A more recent source should control over the Sept. 20 derivative. Do not silently merge incompatible snapshot populations.

13. Corrections, right of response and standing research disclaimer
Corrections invitation. Tournament directors, USSSA representatives, host parks, schools, facility operators, teams and readers may provide dated primary records, corrected event IDs, facility addresses, contracts or financial policies for a documented update. Corrections should identify the specific claim, its original record and the requested change. This article should be updated openly as stronger records become available.
