Softball Canada's Communication for the Men's Game

[Tom Taylor]

I have often ranted about Softball Canada's lack of ability to communicate 
about the Men's game.
And this month holds another tale to tell.

It's amazing to me the Canadian Women's scores get on the net so quickly. 
The scores are posted against power houses from Western Kentucky Community 
College immediately.

The Around the Horn, Softball Canada's Newsletter to the masses was just 
issued. Finally I thought to myself, information about the Men's team. Do 
they have tryouts, what tourneys, exhibition games who, what where will 
they be playing etc. etc.

Well guess what, absolutely nothing. Oh that's not totally true Mark Smith 
will be briefing the Softball Canada members at the AGM in Montreal next week.

Oh yes, rule changes and policy's. The Senior Men's Championship Hosting 
fees are going up to $40,000. the Junior Men's is going up also. This is to 
compensate for the loss in revenues from the Women's and Junior hosting 
fees that are going down to $6000.

Oh and Softball Canada will be using (If it goes through) the ASA bat specs 
when the whole men's nation uses the ISF/ISC specs.

Well fans, things are looking up, Saskatoon will be hosting the ISF Men's 
in 2009. I know that they will do a great job. Just think only 4 more years 
to the next men's press release.
