I.S.C. Board Approves E.G.C. Format for World Tournament

A vote of the Board of Directors of the International Softball
Congress has approved a change in the format of the ISC World
Tournament.

Beginning with the 2006 World Tournament in Kitchener, Ontario,
this August, the round robin format will be replaced by a double
elimination format.  This new format will also include a bracket
for teams which lose their first two games in the competition
and will allow teams from that bracket to play their way back
into the tournament with a chance to win.  

The new format, called Every Game Counts (EGC) will feature 32
teams with 28 of these being guaranteed a minimum of four games.

Berth re-allocations for the 2006 World Tournament are currently
underway and will be announced as soon as they become available.
 Berth re-allocation is being based on a survey of all ISC Area
and Travel League Commissioners which was conducted in January.
