2005 Pre Season Rankings are here now! - - - they will spark lots of 
interest, and likely some pretty vigorous arguments!

What are they??? They are the annual pre-season rankings of the teams 
competing under the banner of the International Softball Congress.

With the season just around the corner, the ISC Team Ranking Committee is 
hard at work weighing all of the factors which will lead to their first 
ranking of the 2005 season.

The first (Pre-Season) ranking arrived today. During the course of the 
season, rankings will be done at least once per month, and likely more 
frequently during July.

ISC Executive Director, Ken Hackmeister, emphasizes that the final rankings 
in late July will determine the seeding for the ISC World Tournament. All 
teams are reminded that the ranking committee members, while very 
qualified, are at the mercy of information provided via Al's Fastball List 
and Al's Archives. The individual committee members do not have the time to 
search each individual teams web site for information and results. It is 
therefore strongly suggested that teams fully utilize Al's List for 
information about the team, the roster, the schedule, and the results.

All Tournaments Directors are reminded that in order to provide full 
service to your entered teams, tournament results should be sent out 
immediately upon the conclusion of each tournament.

The ISC Team Ranking Committee is comprised of 12 anonymous members with 
two alternates. Each is a qualified, knowledgeable individual who follows 
the sport religiously. Members include players, managers, commissioners, 
administrators - - both Canadian and American. The committee is a good 
cross section of fastball people.

In the four years of Team Rankings, the committee has been impressively 
accurate when comparing the final July rankings with the ultimate ISC World 
Tournament results. The ISC salutes them for their accurate work.
