Sledgehammer22 has broken another piece of big news at the 2006 Rumor Central:
News Break!!! Fresh off the phone with Chris Wright of the Nor Cal Mavericks. The Mavericks have announced a merger between them and A-1 Tank. The deal was said to be done last week and the details have been ironed out. The team will take on the A-1 Tank name and compete at the ISC II level. Wright, who will have the duties of General Manager and Field Manager, says the merger is a two year deal with options after the first year. The merger instantly makes the northern California based team a serious player at the “B” level and ISCII level. When asked about the deal, Wright added, “It’s tough to watch my Mavericks team name go but this could turn out to be a great thing for Nor Cal fastpitch. I’m excited for the season to start.” The Mavericks look to compete in Red Rock, Portland and a travel league in preparation for the ISC II Tournament of Champions. Details of the roster will be released later this month.
The merger positions the team to compete with another new California ISC II team being formed, for a bid to compete in the ISC II Tournament of Champions in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada in August.
