LAS VEGAS ROAD TRIP III
Happy Holidays, NAFA and SCIFL are announcing the third edition of the “Las Vegas Road Trip” men’s fast pitch tournament. The date of this tournament will be April 9th, 10th and 11th. Games will start on Friday afternoon at Sunset Park after 1:00 PM with the hope of having the games completed by 8:00PM Friday night and 9:00 PM on Saturday night. This is to allow the players and their families to enjoy Las Vegas. Championship games will be scheduled for 3:00 PM on Sunday.
Temperatures in Sin City the past two years have been very favorable, with temperatures being in the low 80’s. This will be a NAFA sanctioned event with the participating teams separated in the following divisions:
A
A-Major/AA (depending on amount of teams)
AA/AA-Major (depending on the amount of teams)
The splits in the higher classifications will be based on the amount of teams that enter. It is anticipated that 36 teams can be accommodated for this event and confirmation into the tournament will be based on the entry fee and roster being received. Last year there were about six teams that were not able to get in as the tournament filled up by mid-February. Please do not delay in getting back to me if your team will be entering into the event. Once the tournament is full, teams providing their entry fee will be placed on a waiting list and entered if any teams drop out or if additional fields are available.
The entry fee for the tournament is $400 and the NAFA 3-game guarantee bracket will be used for all divisions. It is open to all fast pitch teams and if your team has not yet paid their NAFA registration fee, there will be an additional $20 fee which will be forwarded to your State Director. With a minimum of eight (8) teams in a division, the winner will have their 2009 NAFA World Series entry fee paid for the division they played in. Also, to help keep tournament costs down, if your team books at least five (5) rooms and stays at our host hotel, Arizona Charlie’s Boulder, you will receive $25 back on your entry fee. Booking will need to be done using the 800 number and code provided in this message, rooms booked any other way cannot be confirmed through the hotel and are not used toward our count.
Team interested in playing should contact Robert Hernandez at rmh323 (at) roadrunner.com or 714-392-1387. All teams will need to submit a roster listing all their players with their entry fee. Checks can be made out to “SCIFL” and forwarded to Robert Hernandez, P.O. Box 1891, Anaheim, CA 92815-1891. Teams will be entered into the event in order of receipt of entry fees.
The host hotel for the tournament once again will be Arizona Charlie’s Boulder, providing rooms for the third year in a row. We have negotiated a very reasonable rate for the teams if you use the 800 number to book. The hotel is nice for the teams as the rooms are set up in a dorm type setting and being able to talk or hang out with each other is very easy. Arizona Charlie’s Boulder offers a casino, buffet and sit down dining along with live music in the downtown bar/lounge. Please help the tournament by booking with Arizona Charlie’s using their 800 number to receive the special rate. The number is 800-362-4040 and the reference code is C-SCIFL or mention So Cal Independent Fast Pitch League.

800-362-4040 ad reference “C-SCIFL” or So Cal Independent Fast Pitch League as the group name
Room rates:
Fri/Sat – $44 per night plus taxes for either a standard room or suite
Thur & Sun – $29 per night plus taxes for a standard room or suite
Please note that the suites will be available on a first come first served basis
These rates are by far the best that we received for similar type hotels during this time frame, most were well in the $100+ range per night. Rooms will be included in the block until March 9, 2010 so please do not delay in reserving your room. We will not be negotiating with another hotel, so once the hotel is booked or the cut off date has passed you will need to make your own accommodation’s. Last year there were a number of teams that waited until the last couple of weeks to book their rooms and the hotel did not have any more to give. At the time of booking you will be charged first night of your stay with the reminder of days being charged upon check-in. Roll-outs are available for an additional $10 per night.
Arizona Charlie’s Boulder is located 7 miles from the parks but the money saved on the rooms will be a plus for teams compared to some of the other quotes that have been received. Teams can also save at the buffet by joining the casino player program when they arrive to check in.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this tournament. I look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas.
