Invitationals, and the state tournament
The Lake Crystal 9 play invitational tournament baseball alongside their league season, listed centrally by the Minnesota Baseball Association, with the MBA state tournament above all of it.
The state tournament is why the classification points matter. At 10 points the Lake Crystal 9 enter it as a Class C club, and the rest of the summer is preparation.
Lake Crystal 9 enter invitationals the association lists centrally and links to nothing; High Cheese attaches the bracket to the club's own season.
