*Canada Cup International Women’s Fastpitch Tournament (Women’s Division)
Cancelled for 2010*

Surrey, BC – The 17th Annual Canada Cup International Women’s Fastpitch
Tournament (Women’s Division) has been cancelled for 2010 due to a change in
the International Softball Federation dates for the Xll Women’s World
Championships.

“It is with great regret and after much deliberation due to the changes made
by the International Softball Federation schedule that I have decided not to
proceed with the 2010 Canada Cup and have informed Softball Canada and the
Canada Cup Host Committee of this decision,“ stated Chairman, Glen Todd.

“We reviewed all of our options and in the end concluded that we had no
choice but to cancel the Women’s tournament.  We are exploring the
possibilities of staging the Canada Cup once again in 2011.”

The Canada Cup was to be held July 3 to 11 in Surrey, BC with many
international teams then heading to the World Championships the following
week.  The 2010 ISF Xll Women’s World Championships will now be held in
Caracas, Venezuela June 23 to July 2.  It has recently been announced by the
International Softball Federation and Softball Canada that the ISF Xlll
Women’s World Championships will be help in July of 2012 in Whitehorse,
Yukon.  Dates are still to be determined.

Further information and updates will be posted on
www.canadacup.comincluding information on the 2010 Futures and
Showcase Divisions.
