Similar to the Red Mountain Lion Country Classic, another big softball in the East Valley was forced to hit “reset” after Wednesday’s weather.

The 22nd annual Dobson-Marcos de Niza tournament was also pushed back to Thursday to begin softball season.

The tournament is pool play for the first couple days followed by an extended Saturday schedule, and then the winners of each pool will meet each other in Saturday’s cross-pool finals.

The championship will be the first-place teams from each pool meeting at 4 p.m. at Marcos de Niza H.S. on Saturday at 4 p.m.

Here’s the schedule:

Pool A:   Apache Junction, Dobson, Highland, Horizon, Cesar Chavez, Westwood
