[Alsfastball] Player Eligibility at Canadian Senior Men's

[Al Doran]

It is not surprising that there is some questioning of residency of players 
at this weeks Canadian Senior Men's Fastpitch Championship. Although the 
host website does not list the team players list, a posting on Al's list 
today talked about Brookfield Nova Scotia having both Rob & Sean O'Brien 
playing for them. According to the recently compete ISC tournament which 
published rosters, Sean is listed as residing in Kitchener, Ontario and Rob 
is listed as residing in Toronto, Ontario.

Also, the official roster for Halifax at the ISC had 4 players residing in 
New Brunswick and 1 in Newfoundland and Labrador.
If all these players have signed with Nova Scotia based teams, it will be 
interesting to see how Softball Canada gets around the 1 import rule. Do 
they just ignore what has been told & published to another softball 
organization?

It should also be not that all players, coaches and managers are suppose 
bona fide residents of the province they are represent and if they are not 
Canadian Citizens or Landed Immigrants be in the country continuously for 1 
calendar year before the tournament.

It will be indeed interesting to learn how Softball Canada deals with these 
protests. Just like last year's AGM, there will be some interesting 
conversations about residency.
