Download Contract
After
years of organizing successful grassroots sports tournaments throughout the
world, World Elite Baseball is now making its National Series of sports
tournaments available to individuals who will own and operate the local
sporting events as a franchise. A franchise owner will be able to take
advantage of World Elite Baseball’s many years of event experience along with
their highly recognized and respected brand name to become established in the
sport tournament business.
Because
the sporting industry is one of the most difficult areas to gain employment,
amateur grassroots sports franchising is a unique opportunity for an individual
to work in the exciting sports tournament business. Now a person can be
involved in this business by owning the rights to run local sports tournaments
in a protected territory under the World Elite Baseball name.
World Elite Baseball Concept
As
a World Elite Baseball franchisee, you will own and operate a series of local
tournaments in baseball. All of your events will operate under the World Elite
Baseball name. Your participants would qualify for World Elite regional,
national, and world championship events, providing increased value to teams
playing in your events.
As
a franchisee business, you would generate revenue from team entry fees,
corporate sponsorships, merchandise sales, and commissions from having your
teams attend the World Elite Championship. With the exclusive right s to a
sport in a territory, you would grow your business by developing new
tournaments. If there were existing events for that sport in your territory,
you would take over and grow those tournaments as well.
Territories

Elite Baseball has established fifty-one franchise-protected territories
throughout the United Sates. A person is protected from having any other
franchisee run a tournament in their sport territory. These boundaries are
drawn along county lines with populations for the territories varying
considerably. Depending upon your interest and business goals a person can own
one sport in one territory, multiple sports in one territory, or one sport in
multiple territories. (Call 864-567-8143 for info on territories). The minimum
recommendation for full time would be four sports in one territory or one sport
in four territories. This would be dependent on the specific territories under
consideration.

franchisee, you will be able to clearly sell more sponsorship, increase team attendance,
and improve retail product sales from your booth as a result of having used of
this important information.
Merchandise
& Group Purchasing
