Editor’s note: This looks like a real great opportunity to see where you stack up about a month before the ToC – and play at one of the legendary fields on the Atlantic seaboard as Allentown has a great fastball heritage. The Rise, CPI, Ashland and TNT have all been up to Ontario in the past couple of years – it would be nice to have four Ontario teams return the favour.
Perkasie, PA Rise are planning a top caliber ISC II tournament July 20-22, 2007 just outside Allentown, PA at Lyons Park.
Entry Fee will be $350 with the winner taking $1500 and 2nd taking $500. 8 teams with 2 divisons of 4. Guarantee of 3 games.
Canadian Teams will not play until Saturday to help on travel. We are hoping to bring in 4 Ontario teams to go along with the Rise, CPI, Ashland, and South Lebanon.
Next year we will expand the tournament to more teams if this year is succesful.
