taurant Association, explained that
numbers are not in yet as to whether
players are staying in Ocean City.
The resort has always benefited
to a degree from USSSA, however.
"We do get overflow rooms from
that event because there are only
so many rooms in Salisbury and it's
a very large event," said Jones.
Malcolm Van Kirk, co-owner of
the Sea Bay Hotel in Ocean City,
has not seen any noticeable bump
in business from the event so far
this summer. It's been pretty much
steady in his hotel from last sum-
mer, he said, adding that this was
still a good thing as the tournament
provides a booster shot to business
at the end of every July.
"We're very happy and would like
to make sure the event continues ...
we're very pleased with the overall
event," said Van Kirk.
While Sea Bay may not have
seen a specific increase in activity
this summer, Conn expects that
Ocean City as a whole will benefit
from significant overflow.
"This year, over the course of the
tournament, an estimated 16,000
hotel room nights were needed.
This exceeds Wicomico County's
hotel room capacity, so stays spill
over into the surrounding area with
Ocean City seeing the largest num-
ber of rooms booked outside of
Wicomico," Conn said. "This works
out well as teams preferring to stay
close to fields of play opt to stay in
Wicomico, while those interested in
seeing the beach, ocean and
Boardwalk select Ocean City."
All counties involved are likely to
see some increases simply due to
the tournament's growth, she add-
ed. Over the last seven years, the
USSSA event has exploded in
terms of popularity. More than 5,000
softball players ages 10 through 18
are expected to visit Delmarva
because of the World Series with
roughly 75,000 total attendees an-
ticipated this year.
"The event has grown dramati-
cally since it first came to Wicomico
County in 2007. Beginning with just
58 teams participating over the
course of one week, the World
Series expanded to two weeks last
year and brought a record 292
teams together in competition. This
year, with the expansion to three
weeks, the tournament grew even
more to 400 teams," Conn said.
Since it began in 2007, Conn
revealed that the USSSA World
Series has brought in more than
$25 million to the area, with this
year's total nearly 40 percent of
that. The event will hopefully contin-
ue to grow in Wicomico and spill
over to neighboring counties every
year, said Conn. The location of the
2014 tournament hasn't been an-
nounced yet, she added, but Wi-
comico is optimistic about playing
host for an eighth consecutive year.
The USSSA World Series runs
through Aug. 3.
