I.S.C. Set To Host Meeting of Invitational Tournament Directors;


    Goal:  Coordination of 2005 Tournaments to Minimize Conflicts

     Of Dates and Competition for Common Teams

In an effort to lesson conflicts and competition among Invitational 
Tournament Directors who are planning 2005 tournaments, the International 
Softball Congress will hold a meeting during the 2004 World Tournament in 
Fargo, ND.

Dean Kane has been appointed by ISC Executive Director, Ken Hackmeister, to 
chair a meeting to which ALL Tournament Directors and/or Coordinators 
(whether or not they are affiliated with the ISC) are invited and urged to 
attend.

The meeting will be held on Saturday, August 14 from 3:30 – 5:00 at the 
Radisson Hotel in Fargo.  The exact location will be posted, and it will be 
somewhere on the third floor of the Radisson.

In the words of Chairman Kane, “This informal meeting is set so that we can 
get an idea of who is running tournaments on which weekends so that we can 
avoid conflicts with two large tournaments being held on the same weekend 
with resulting competition for common teams.”  Kane continued, “I believe 
this is in the best interest of all” and he urged any Tournament Directors 
who can not be present at this meeting to e-mail him (Dean Kane) at 
<mailto:ct16 at greenbaynet.com>ct16 at greenbaynet.com with the following 
information:

** Name of the tournament
** Location of the tournament
** Dates of the tournament
** Contact(s) for the tournament
** Website address (URL) for the tournament (if available)

Kane stresses that “There will be time allotted for coordinators to discuss 
many pressing issues - - most importantly discussing the need for everyone 
to know what tournaments are being held, when, and where, well in advance 
so teams can make the proper arrangements.  At the meeting, we will also 
discuss the importance of posting all scores to Al Doran’s web page so that 
the fastball public can keep up with what is happening.”  Kane points out 
that, “This is NOT an ISC-only meeting and I would invite persons from any 
affiliation to post their tournaments since many teams play in different 
organizations during the season.”

Kane is hopeful of a good turnout, which can lead to a good round table 
discussion with all major Tournament Directors present to discuss past 
successes and drawbacks.
