The Big 12 Softball Tournament gets rolling this week at Devon Park, with the 11 competing squads looking to snatch the throne previously held by Oklahoma, which won six of its final seven Big 12 tournament appearances before departing for the SEC.

The AUSL’s four teams will play 24 games, with the top two teams playing for the AUSL Championship, a best-of-three series to be held July 26-28 at the University of Alabama’s Rhoads Stadium. The inaugural season in 2025 will be a touring property featuring games in 12 different cities before the league becomes city-based next year.

The 56-team field for the AHSAA softball state championship tournament is set after Thursday regional play.
