What is the USFA World Series?The USFA World Series is the United States Fastpitch Association championship week in Panama City Beach. Games are typically played at Frank Brown Park in Southport and Publix Sports Park. The event is split into two weeks - younger ages one week, 13U-18U the next - with pool games into a seeded double-elimination bracket. Families treat it as a beach vacation wrapped around a World Series. PCB World Series Pin TradingPin trading is advertised as part of the USFA / PCB World Series week, along with opening ceremonies. Teams trade at the complexes, hotels, and around the beach. A pin with team colors, a Florida or PCB theme, or extra size gets more trades. Plan one pin per player per team you expect to meet, plus extras for family and coaches. What Style of USFA World Series Pins to OrderMost USFA World Series trading pins are soft enamel or photo screen. Soft enamel has raised metal and recessed color you can feel. Photo screen is smoother, full-color, and faster when artwork is complex or time is short. Average size is about 1.75" - order at least 1.50".

The same event is often called the PCB World Series or USFA PC World Series. Most orders are soft enamel trading pins; photo screen is used for full-color or faster-turn designs. Which PCB week do we order pins for?USFA splits Panama City Beach into two weeks: younger ages first, then 13U-18U. Put your week and the opening-ceremonies date on the design request so the pins land before that group's trading session, not the other week. When should we order USFA World Series pins?Start artwork as soon as the team is committed to PCB. Soft enamel needs more lead time. Photo screen is the better rush path if you are inside 30 days of opening ceremonies. Rush orders are welcome, but earlier is cheaper and safer. Is pin trading part of the PCB World Series?Yes. Pin trading is promoted with opening ceremonies as part of the playcation week. Teams also trade at Frank Brown Park in Southport, Publix Sports Park, and hotels. Bring extras for other teams, family, and coaches. Do PCB World Series pins need a beach or Florida theme?No. Team colors and a readable logo trade first. A small PCB, palm, or wave detail can help the pin stand out in a pile of similar softball shapes, but it is optional. How many USFA World Series pins do we need?Plan one pin per player per team you expect to meet, then add extras. This is a two-park week, so you will see teams at both complexes plus the hotel. Use last year's division size plus about 10% if the current list is not posted. What size should our USFA World Series pins be?Most teams order 1.75" or 2.00" for the main pin. Order at least 1.50". A limited 3" piece is optional when you want a scarcer trade. Can artwork say USFA, PCB World Series, or both?Either is fine if it is your team's wording. Some teams use USFA World Series. Others use PCB or Panama City Beach. Will humidity or the beach ruin enamel pins?No. Soft enamel and photo screen pins hold up in Gulf humidity. Keep them in a pin bag out of sand and sunscreen until it is time to trade. Is there a minimum order?There is no strict minimum. A sample is available on most styles. Volume pricing applies at higher quantities. Can you ship pins to Panama City Beach?Yes. Hotel, condo, Frank Brown Park, or Publix Sports Park all work. Put the address and the trading-session date on the design request so the box is not sitting at the front desk during opening ceremonies. How do we start an order?Submit your logo, PCB week, quantity, and needed date through our softball design request. We will send artwork and pricing for approval. |
