Hotlanta Atlanta Softball hosts its annual Big Peach tournament over Memorial Day weekend with a record-setting roster of 47 teams registered to compete for the championship. Tournament play begins at 8 a.m. each day until the queens of the diamond leave the others in their dust.

The annual tournament brings hundreds of players from across the U.S. to compete but also have a great time socializing and partying together.

A closing ceremony at Heretic features Season 3 Rupaul's Drag Race contestant Mirah who will be joined by Gia Sunflower. Awards will be given out to B, C and D division winners; Best "Base Camp" Award; and Most Spirit Team Award.

Players and fans are asked to bring cash to the softball fields for the vendors selling hot dogs and PBRs -- but no ATMs are on site. There is also a $1 entry fee per player per day into the complex.
