St. George is located in the southwestern corner of Utah. It's a warm 
weather retirement community with seven beautiful diamonds consisting of 
golf green quality outfields with enclosed fences. There is a full service 
snack open during the entire tournament. The ball park is situated amongst 
the beautiful backdrop of red colored mountains and green trees and lawns. 
There is plenty of parking. The ball park is located just a few minutes 
away from the city center. These are the most beautiful diamonds West of 
Florida's Disney World. Many feel they are the finest they have ever played on.

Many teams over the years have made this a family trip combining Las Vegas 
and the Red Rock tournament into a super 3-4 day holiday. They either 
arrive a day early or leave a day later spending a night or two in Las 
Vegas. There are special group rates for 10 or more people. A few of the 
players significant others spent the entire time in Las Vegas and were 
joined by their men either before or after the tournament.

There is also a full facility resort located in Mesquite, Nevada just a 
short 25 - 30 minute drive to St. George. It has many inexpensive hotels 
and casinos. Some rooms in Mesquite last year were about $21.00

Getting to the Red Rock International Invitational:

St. George Airport: http://www.ci.st-george.ut.us/airport/

The St. George airport is located about 5 minutes the downtown area and 
about 10 minutes from the ball park.

Las Vegas: McCarran International Airport:

The Las Vegas airport is about a 1½ hour drive North up Interstate 15. As 
you approach the mountain pass approaching St. George, the view is 
absolutely incredible. Be sure to bring your camera.

Driving by car from the Salt Lake City area is about a 5 hour drive. 
Driving from Southern California can easily be calculated via Las Vegas.

Ken Hackmeister, executive director of the International Softball Congress 
(ISC) will once again serve as Tournament Director.
Josh Olmstead of St George Leisure Services will be the Host Administrator 
of the tournament.
Roy Stout will be the Umpire-in-Chief.

Umpires are from various locations around the USA as well as Canada. Many 
have ISF International and/or ISC World Tournament experience. All of the 
games will have three umpires working every game.

It is expected teams will be from USA, Canada and Mexico.

Games will conclude on Sunday early enough for teams to make flights from 
Las Vegas.
