I'm going to a softball tournament but my stomach started aching so I told my mom then when I finished using the restroom when I wiped spots of blood showed up what does that mean

Okay, so spots of blood when you wipe, especially with stomach aches, probably means your first period is starting. No worries, this is totally normal and happens to literally everyone with a uterus.
What it means
Those little spots of blood are probably your body's way of saying "hello, period!" Often it starts small, just a little bit of spotting or light bleeding, and then it gets a little heavier over the next day or so. The stomach ache you felt is probably cramping and that is also super normal. It's just your uterus getting ready for action to shed its lining.
What to do next
Since you already told your mom about your stomach ache, you can let her know about the spotting too. She can help you get period supplies like pads (definitely start with pads!). If you're going to a softball tournament, you'll want to be prepared. Throw some pads in your bag, maybe an extra pair of underwear, and some pain relievers if your mom says it's okay for cramps. Keep an eye on the bleeding. It might be light for a bit, or it could get heavier.
Don't stress, this is just your body doing its thing and it's a sign you're growing up. The Soso app can help you track this and see what patterns happen in your body. It's made for first cycles to help you figure it all out.
