It’s only January and the ice and snow is covering the fastball fields in the state of Indiana. It is still more than a month until “Hoosier Hysteria” (class basketball style) grips the state.

But the call is out to Indiana men’s fastball team:

Make plans to be in the city of Elkhart over the weekend of June 25 and 26, 2005.

Indiana ISC Commissioner Bob Clark is announcing the details of the qualifying tournament for a spot in the 2005 ISC World Tournament and another for the ISC – II Tournament of Champions.

This competition will take place at Riverview Park in Elkhart.

The format will be Double Elimination.

Entry fee is $250 (payable to Bob Clark, ISC Area Commissioner)

Deadline for entry is June 1, 2005.

One Indiana Area team will win the automatic berth in the ISC World Tournament set for Eau Claire, Wisconsin, August 12 – 20. Another Hoosier team will gain the automatic spot in the ISC – II Tournament of Champions set for August 14 – 19 in nearby Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
