Cobourg, ON Stingers folding

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

The Cobourg Stingers have officially folded due to a few players not returning and the difficulty in finding new players. After attending the ISC II World Tournament last year for the first time it was tough to see the team not return and try to improve. However we would like to personally thank Blair Setford and Bob McGowan for all the work they have done at the ISC II level and helping our team with all of our ISC II issues.

On the bright side, there are 4-5 players from the team who have a serious interest in joining another ISC II team in Ontario. If there are any teams who are looking for some players please contact me @

Best of luck to everyone this year

New Format Possibility for ISC World Tournament In 2006

Friday, February 17th, 2006

This is an exciting change to the World Tournament format. In terms of ISC II, with the level of competition being much closer, we are planning to maintain the current round robin format, followed by the single elimination format – which enjoyed significant support in our survey of teams back in 2004. If you have any comments about adopting a similar format for ISC II, please fee free to leave them here, or you can post them on the ISC II forum here or you can email me at blairjs(at)rogers.com.
Blair Setford
ISC II Commissioner

There is a possibility of a new ISC World Tournament format in 2006 in Kitchener. If the Board of Directors of the ISC gives its approval, there will be a different look to the World Tournament when that international event hits Kitchener in August.

And what a difference that format will be! Players, fans, ISC officials, and the host city of Kitchener are already rising to a standing ovation over the proposed change. (more…)
