Changes Coming to I.S.C. for 2006 Season

There will be some changes in place for the 2006 fastball season in I.S.C. 
competition.

In actions taken by the International Softball Congress Board of Directors 
when they met in August in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, several different areas 
of regulations were addressed.  Among the changes were:

ISC AREA DEFINITIONS - - a new list is displayed on the ISC Web Site at 
<http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstart/forms/ardef.htm>http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstart/forms/ardef.htm 
 From the front page of the ISC Web Site, click on Rules & Form.  States 
and Areas affected include:  California; Nevada; Colorado; New Mexico; 
Arizona; Canada West; Minnesota; Wisconsin; Illinois; and Northern 
Illinois.  Generally, the changes liberalize and expand areas.  Area 
Definitions are the responsibility of the affected Area 
Commissioners.  This same document will appear in the 2006 ISC Guide to be 
published in next spring.

ISC-II TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS ENTRY FEES - - Beginning in 2006, entry fees 
are:  $250 for Area and Travel League Champions and $300 for Host Team, 
Defending Champ, Runner Up, and any invited teams.

PLAYER HARDSHIP REQUESTS - - Requests are to be sent to the appropriate ISC 
Area or Travel League Commissioner who will approve or disapprove before 
sending it on to the ISC Executive Director.

PARTICIPANTS OWING ISC, COMMISSIONERS, OR TEAM SPONSORS - - No one will be 
allowed to participate in ISC programs if they owe any money, equipment, or 
other property belonging to the ISC, its Commissioners, or Team Sponsors.

OUT OF AREA PITCHER DECLARATION - - All teams will be required to declare 
their OOA pitchers by August 1.  If a team(s) have more than two (2) OOA 
pitchers, the additional pitcher(s) will be released if the pitcher(s) so 
requests, and he may then be picked up by another team.

ISC President, Dick Mason, observed that, "These changes, some rather 
minor, some not so minor, will have the effect of addressing some topics 
which have been sort of hanging around and needed clarification."

The issue of PRAWN players was addressed and the results of a vote taken 
later in the fall was previously announced.
