Eastern Ontario ISC II Qualifier

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario

West Carleton Electric Men’s Intermediate Fastball Club is pleased to announce that Fitzroy Harbour will be hosting the ISC II eastern Ontario qualifier on June 16-18, 2006. Format will be double-knockout, entry fee $325. Depending on the number of entries, some games may also be played at the Stittsville diamond.

The winner will receive a berth in the “ISC II Tournament of Champions” in Kitchener Aug 13-18 to compete against the best in North America.

The tournament is open to all ISC II teams in Ontario and Quebec. We hope to have all 10 teams that were in the successful Blackburn 2005 qualifier back, plus a few more. Ottawa Team Easton Thunder led by Dan Konkle and Dan Bradley defeated the Micksburg Twins in last year’s final. Team Easton Thunder went on to finish 3rd of 38 teams at the 2005 ToC in Wisconsin. The Cobourg Stingers finished third in Blackburn last year and also accepted a berth at the ToC when Micksburg was unable to attend.

It should be an excellent weekend. Fitzroy Harbour has been the host for intermediate tournaments the last four seasons, including the 2003 OASA Men’s C. Teams that have played in Fitzroy Harbour before know that we have a nice facility and get good crowds out, and it should be the same this June.

If you have any questions about the event, accommodations, or anything else, just let me know.

regards,

The host, Niagara Snappers, are two-time defending champions and will be in tough to keep their streak alive. In a short time, the Snapper Shootout has become one of the premier ISC II level events in North America and acts as a great tune-up for teams wanting a preview of the competition prior to qualifiers and the ToC.
