Subject: New Format & Information for 2007
There were changes made to the ASA code at the National meeting in November that will affect our program. National qualifiers were eliminated and you no longer have to play in Regional tournaments.
Region 14 will still offer a national qualifier and regional tournament, instead of berths there will be travel money awarded to the winner. The region has set the following criteria for attending the Nationals; teams must play in FOUR events. The region has identified three events the national qualifier, the association championship and the regional tournament as being special; therefore, teams must play in one of these to count as one of the four events.
See the attached minutes from the last Classification meeting for the new format.
The tournament series will consist of eight events with a new format since there are no berths to play for.

With relocating to Montana, it will be more difficult to organize the tournaments this year so I need your cooperation by committing at least two weeks prior to my events. With the first two events being in March, I would like to hear from teams by March 2, 2007 for the events in March. You can commit by either calling me at (406) 690-0664 or (406) 896-1086 or emailing me at chapelrm@msn.com. I have been talking to teams from Central CA about playing in our events so you will need to commit early to secure your spot. If you are going to play in several of my five events and wish to pay for them at one time you may do so. We have addressed last years umpire problems and I have been assured that all umpire assignments will be covered this year, especially in Sparks.

We are looking for a 16 team tournament again this year as there were 16 teams in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
St. George is located in the southwestern corner of Utah. It’s a warm weather retirement community with seven beautiful diamonds consisting of golf green quality outfields with enclosed fences. There is a full service snack open during the entire tournament. The ball park is situated amongst the beautiful backdrop of red colored mountains and green trees and lawns. There is plenty of parking. The ball park is located just a few minutes away from the city center. These are the most beautiful diamonds West of Orlando, Florida’s Disney World Complex. Many feel they are the finest they have ever played on. The outfields are like carpets. (more…)
Clyde Bennett, manager of the 2006 Defending National Champion Young Bucks has announced tryouts and practice for his 23 and under team:
Practice and tryouts, Sat Feb 10 at Elings Park in Santa Barbara from 1:00-5:00 pm? As you know we are defending National Champions and plan to go to Minnesota to defend but we are in need of some new palyers. We lost 2 due to age plus 2 of our players are playing college ball and will not be able to join us until summer. Also one of our catchers is out with a torn ACL. Any one born 1983 or later is eligible.
Thanks Clyde
