ISC announces condensed schedule for 2007 ISC II Tournament of
Champions
 
December 19, 2006
 
The International Softball Congress is pleased to announce that
the 2007 ISC II Tournament of Champions (ToC) is being shortened
from a 6.5-day tournament to a 4.5-day tournament and will run
from Tuesday August 14 to Saturday August 18, 2007 in Kitchener
and Cambridge, ON.
 
This condensed schedule will help make it more affordable for
teams to attend the premier intermediate championship in men’s
fastball. 
 
The tournament will be contested among 35 teams split into seven
pools of five. Each team will play four round robin games with
the top three in each pool along with three wild cards advancing
to a single elimination playoff bracket.
 
Games will be played at Budd Park in Kitchener and Kinsmen Park
in nearby Cambridge with the semi-finals and championship game
scheduled to be played Saturday morning at Peter Hallman Ballyard
in Kitchener. Provided that the ToC and the ISC World Tournament
are on schedule, we are working to have the ISC II championship
game, for the first time, both video and audio streamed for fans
across North America.
 
Qualifying for the ToC will be conducted regionally with berths
available as follows:
 
U.S. East 10
U.S. Central 8
U.S. West 4
Canada East 6
Canada West 4
2006 Champions, Finalist and Host Team
 
Unused berths from any region will be filled by Canada East teams.
 
As per a motion passed by the ISC Board of Directors at its 2006
meeting, the top two finishing teams in the 2007 ISC II ToC will
receive automatic berths into the 2008 ISC World Tournament in
Kimberly, WI. 
 
Additional information on the ISC and the 2007 ISC II Tournament
of Champions is available on the ISC web site at www.iscfastpitch.com.
