Orillia, Ontario, Canada
 
 
With only hours to go before the first pitch will be thrown at
the 9th Annual Casino Rama World Series of Fastball things are
starting to take shape at the park.  A full crew of tournament
volunteers have just completed the installation of over 3,000
feet of temporary fencing, the installation of the new scorers
booths and a general park clean-up.  The crew will be back tomorrow
morning to continue to set up the diamonds, install tenting,
trailers and everything else that is needed for a tournament
of this magnitude.  
 
The park in undergoing a complete transformation and all the
volunteers can't wait to get the tournament under way.
 
The park layout has been completely redesigned and for all of
our regular visitors you will be pleasantly surprised with the
new park layout.  First off the beer tent has been increased
in size and moved down the 3rd base of the lower diamond, greatly
improving the sightlines to the action on the diamond.  Our signature
souvenir tent has been relocated to below the permanent concession
building (in the area of the old beer tent) and the large tournament
master schedule will be located in the same area.  There will
be many other small changes to the normal park layout for this
year.
 
As for getting scores and details out to all the fans that cannot
make the trip to Orillia, we will be getting scores out in a
few different ways,  First off, Al Doran will be in attendance
throughout the weekend and he will be getting results out over
his network throughout the weekend.  New for this year we will
be scoring games electronically and our plan (provided everything
works) is to post a full game report, with play-by-play on the
tournament website at www.city.orillia.on.ca/worldseries.
 
The final bit of news is about the one thing that no tournament
director can control but we all wish we could - THE WEATHER.
 The latest forecast for the Orillia area is hot, hot, hot with
lots of sun.  If you are coming to the park make sure you bring
lots of sunscreen and get ready to sit back and watch the most
exciting game on the planet, played by the best players in the
world.
 
Things get under way here in Orillia tomorrow night (Thursday)
with an exhibition double header between the Orillia River Sharks
and a local all-star team.  The games will get under way at 7:00
PM and there is no cost to take in these games.  If you cannot
make it out to the game make sure you tune into CTV Sports at
around 6:45 PM as Lance Brown will be at the park doing the evening
sportscast live on location.  Tournament games will get under
way at 4:30 PM on Friday evening with all 10 teams playing during
the evening.  Round-robin games will continue throughout Saturday
with elimination games getting under way Sunday morning.  The
Championship game will start at 1:45 PM on Sunday afternoon with
Rogers Cable on-hand to tape and televise the game.
 
For a complete tournament schedule and much more check out the
tournament website at www.city.orillia.on.ca/worldseries.
 
I look forward to seeing everyone at Kitchener Park in Orillia
this weekend
