Behind each youth baseball tournament are teams, families, schedules, facilities and financial arrangements. The public record documents some of those elements very precisely and leaves others unanswered. This profile follows historical USSSA baseball records associated with Travis Kelly, with attention to facilities in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, Owasso and Bartlesville.

This is part of Hidden Valley — Integrity of the Game and the Integrity of the Game vs. Economic Impact (Politics): The Oklahoma Business Plan research initiative. It is educational research, not an audit, an accusation or a determination of anyone's income or conduct.

The 2012–2025 record at a glance

Director identification: The public USSSA director reference linked from the uploaded inventory uses Director ID 3274279. The earlier Baseball Heaven director page describes the research role as Area Director. This is a historical identification, not verification of a present appointment, employment classification, agency relationship or an individual contract.

Scope: All 1,094 records are classified Baseball; none is classified Softball. USSSA season labels run 2012–2025, but the earliest actual event start date in these records is November 19, 2011 and the latest recorded event end date is November 10, 2024. USSSA seasons and calendar years are not interchangeable. A current appointment or active status in October 2026 has not been established by this historical dataset.

Event counts use 219 unique dataset tournament identifiers, rather than counting age divisions or every name variation as another tournament. One event has records carrying both 2021 and 2022 season labels; the event is counted once under its primary 2021 event record. The season table below preserves raw division-year classifications while displaying the deduplicated primary-event count.

What the data identifies—and what it does not

The latest supplied AIUSSSA — Hidden Valley Integrity Of The Game.csv is the controlling activity source. The secondary AIUSSSA — USSSA Director Info.csv supplies the public USSSA director link and older publication references. Entry fees are calculated from the dataset's recorded team count multiplied by its posted per-team fee. That is not proof all listed entry fees were paid, nor is it verified money received by Travis Kelly.

The April 17, 2024, second amended federal complaint concerning USSSA (paragraph 10, page 5; paragraph 36 and footnote 27, page 19) describes USSSA state/local representatives as typically independent contractors in its discussion of organizational arrangements. That pleading does not establish Travis Kelly's individual employment or contract classification, and its allegations are not judicial findings about anyone listed in this director research archive. Read the court filing (source PDF).

Year-by-year event and fee history

The following rows preserve the USSSA season label from the file. Event counts follow the primary event record to avoid counting the same event twice across season-label inconsistencies.

The 2025 USSSA-season records for this director contain events dated October–November 2024, not independently confirmed tournaments played in calendar 2025. No 2026-season director records were identified in the supplied dataset. Separately, some historical league names or scheduling records may not demonstrate that games were actually completed.

Where the tournaments were listed

There are six distinct named facility locations but seven mutually exclusive facility configurations in the source, because a number of division records explicitly identify Indian Springs Sports Complex together with Tulsa Hilti Park. The $64,521 fee volume associated with that combination must not be credited in full to both facilities.

Named facilities, municipalities, counties and location records

Calculated fees by facility configuration—no duplicate allocation

Geographic accounting: municipality and county labels

When a historical record identifies two cities on the same event configuration, the dataset preserves that as one combined geographic classification; it is not credited in full to both municipalities.

The controlling dataset lists Tulsa County: $1,685,840 and Washington County: $948 in calculated entry fees. County references are historic dataset classifications rather than verified parcel ownership or municipal revenue.

These amounts are associated with facility classifications; they are not payments received by the facility, by its municipality, by Travis Kelly, or by any organization. The record does not allocate the combined Indian Springs/Hilti amount between those two sites or identify any concessions or gate operator.

How the entry-fee mathematics works

Every division is calculated individually: recorded team entries × publicly listed entry fee = calculated gross team entry-fee volume. If one division lists 14 teams and a $263 fee, the reported math is 14 × $263 = $3,682. Division amounts are then added into the event total; event totals are added across the director's entire identified history, without treating each division as an independent event.

Verifiable dataset example: April State Qualifier, April 5–7, 2024

Original USSSA event record (eventID 384059) · Indian Springs Sports Complex · Season 2024 · Four division records.

The minimum-game column for this particular event records 52 modeled games; with two modeled umpire assignments per game it produces 104 assignments. These figures are not a count of verified games played or of distinct individuals paid.

The gate, concessions and officials estimates: assumptions in full

The director's historic CSV uses 10 players per team, two fans per player per day, a $5 daily admission, and the listed event duration for its gate model. It therefore assumes 20 paid spectators per team on each modeled event day. This produces the $3,051,000 cumulative modeled gate, not verified gate receipts. There are no corresponding gate-box-office ledgers in the data supplied here.

The dataset's concession field is exactly 50% of its modeled gate for every row; the total is $1,525,500. There is no separate transaction count, verified average spend, cost-of-goods data, payroll or operating-expense schedule demonstrating whether that field should be treated as sales or net receipts. Here it is identified as a modeled concession-related proxy.

Why multi-week league records need extra caution

Some league entries span many days. 54 division rows attached to long-duration events (more than seven listed days) contribute $802,900—about 26.3%—of the modeled lifetime gate. The formula assumes the same modeled daily attendance throughout the listed duration, which may substantially overstate actual paid admissions if the recorded dates cover a league window rather than daily games.

Zero-dollar fee records: Fifty division rows collectively list 434 team entries with a $0.00 posted fee. The model contributes $0 from those rows, but that does not prove no local league fee, registration charge or other arrangement existed. Such fees cannot be imputed without additional sources.

Game and officials quality control: The source's raw totals are 16,589 games and 30,870 officiating assignments. Nineteen zero-team division records contain an impossible −1 placeholder in the game field, with negative assignment placeholders totaling −34. After treating those negative placeholders as unavailable rather than subtracting games or officials, the nonnegative modeled counts become 16,608 games and 30,904 officiating assignments. The article uses these cleaned figures and retains the raw totals here for reproducibility. These are assignments across games—not unique officials or actual payroll expenditures.

Reconciliation with an earlier published director profile

The existing Baseball Heaven Travis Kelly activity page currently displays $1,654,046 and 8,240 team entries. The latest uploaded Hidden Valley data produces $1,686,788 and 8,298 team entries—a difference of +$32,742 and +58 entries. The updated per-season calculations account for the $32,742 difference: 2022 +$28,560; 2024 +$2,520; 2017 +$1,656; and 2021 +$6 compared with the previously displayed season values.

In the facility breakdown, this coincides with an increase of $31,086 in the Indian Springs single-facility category and $1,656 in the OBrien Park category. The older page's $0 OBrien figure should not be used as the current result. The separate director reference CSV already carries the updated $1,686,788 total; the live landing page and linked earlier PDF may lag behind the newer file.

Public-facility questions worth asking

Some named facilities appear in municipal facility materials. That creates legitimate public questions about leases, permits, field allocation and public asset stewardship—not conclusions about any particular tournament director. Appropriate questions include:

• Which public agency or approved user group controlled field reservations and tournament dates for each facility and year?
• What written lease, rental, tournament-use or concession agreements governed the use of these sites?
• Who was authorized under those agreements to collect, process, retain or share entry, admission and concession receipts?
• Which party paid for staffing, utilities, field preparation, maintenance, insurance and improvements?
• What reporting or reconciliation did the municipality receive, and where can the public review the applicable agreements and governmental receipts?

A city or county can examine its own contracts, fee schedules, expenditure records and internal controls within lawful authority. USSSA's public event listings alone do not resolve those questions, establish contract terms or trace payments into any recipient's account. No oversight question in this profile should be interpreted as a suggestion that anyone violated an obligation.

Original-source register and complete event index

The following links make it possible for readers to check director identity, historical season schedules and example event/division source pages. The original USSSA URLs are reproduced as recorded in the dataset; external sites may change access rules or remove older records. Source links are references, not confirmation that every archived event page is presently reachable.

Each season row earlier in this page includes both a USSSA historical season-search URL and the archived Baseball Heaven seasonal schedule PDF from the uploaded source file. Each event below links its representative USSSA event page and one linked division-level seeding report; not all seeding reports necessarily have an accessible downloadable PDF. The research index is not a verified record of completed competitions.

Reader corrections and response opportunity

This is a living historical record. Readers, directors, municipalities, county officials, sports organizations and facility operators are invited to provide corrected event information, signed field-use agreements, historical fee schedules, reconciled financial documentation, or evidence explaining a facility/address inconsistency. Submit sources and the event/date they concern to Kenneth@BCMSports.net. Meaningful corrections should be logged transparently with dates and revised calculations.
