The OASA will introduce a new Masters "B" division for 2008.
The OASA will be working on eligibility rules for this new division
in the coming weeks.
Do you have any thoughts regarding eligibility rules for this
new Masters "B" division ?
Check out the Ontario Masters Fastball web site and post your
comments / suggestions on the masters forum page, I'm sure
the OASA would like to see your ideas before they implement the
eligibility rules for this new division.

Some rumours floating around about the possibility of some prominent
pitchers attending the 2008 OASA Masters Championship.
Please keep in mind the following eligibility rules when recruiting
players.
 
2007 OASA Official Constitution and By -Laws
Page # 64
 
2:5:1 b)    All Master players are eligible to play both Masters
Men and Intermediate Men but are not eligible to play for a Senior
Men's team
at the Ontario Championship. All pitchers on an ISC 1 roster
in the current year are not eligible to pitch for a team in the
Masters classification. Masters players may be "picked up" by
any team for a Canadian or Eastern Canadian Championship.
 
For official clarification on eligibility  issues please contact
someone from the OASA.

The host committee executive is in place for the 2008 OASA Masters
Championship, the chairperson for the Niagara Falls Host Committee
is 
Rob Greatrix.  A meeting was held earlier this week, details
will be released when they become available.
A tentative tournament date for July 18, 19, 20 still needs to
be confirmed by the OASA and the host committee.
Previous tournaments have normally been held on this weekend
due to a minimum number of conflicting tournaments on the same
weekend.
 
The Niagara Falls Host Committee are looking for sponsors for
the 2008 OASA Masters Championship, we're hoping to make this
year's tourney one of the best in recent years. If you are interested
in sponsoring this year's tourney please contact one of the following
from the Niagara Falls Host Committee Executive ..........
 
Rob Greatrix
Chairperson

It's currently looking like 9 or 10 teams for the Masters "A"
division.
I'm not sure how many teams there will be for the new Masters
"B" division, I'd guess we see about 6 teams but it all depends
on what the OASA comes up with for eligibility rules.
 
Yours in Sport
