ISC World Tournament Bracket Released

From

The bracket for the ISC World Tournament, August 10-18, 2007 at Kitchener, Ontario, Canada has been released and is posted at the official ISCfastpitch.com website.

Editor’s notes: The tournament is generally regarded as the premier event in men’s fastpitch, and will pit 32 teams in its “Every Game Counts” (ECG) double elimination format. Seeding is based on the final set of rankings released last week, with Broken Bow, Patsy’s and Orillia in the top 3 slots. The So Cal Bombers were the biggest movers, jumping from # 7 to # 4 on the strength of their tournament win at Monkton. Their # 4 ranking is the highest for a California team since the Long Beach Painters’ 5th place finish in 1994, thirteen years ago.

Here’s the first round draws and game times for West Coast teams on Saturday, August 11. (Game times EST, so adjust for west coast time, 3 hour earlier):

# 18 Pueblo Bandits, CO vs. # 11 Townline, WI , 5pm EST/2pm PST
# 4 So Cal Bombers vs. # 17 Bloomington Stix, IL, 3pm EST /12noon PST
#12 Portland, OR vs. # 19 Aurora Dolan & Murphys, IL, 11am EST/8am PST
# 10 Vancouver Grey Sox, BC Canada vs. (NR) Peterboro, ON Canada 3pm EST/12noon PST

The ISC World Tournament championship game is slated for the following Saturday, August 18, at 6:00pm EST, 3:00pm PST. A number of the games will be broadcast LIVE via streaming VIDEO, so watch here for more information soon. The “ISC-TV” program is headed up by So Cal’s own, David Blackburn, who started the streaming audio broadcast program back in 2001, and evolved into the streaming video program last year, after several successful test broadcasts in prior years.
