[February 8, 2008]- The International Softball Congress is announcing special operating rules for the 2008 season for the ISC II division regarding the pickup of pitchers from the Canada East region during the season.
For the 2008 season, following the completion of the Canada East qualifiers on June 22, teams from outside the Canada East region may sign one (1) pitcher from the Canada East region provided that they remain in compliance with the ISC II out-of-region (OOR) rules which limit teams to a total of three (3) OOR players, only two (2) of whom can be pitchers. The signing deadline is July 21, 2008. Fees and completed forms must be mailed to ISC Executive Director Ken Hackmeister as of that date.
Out-of-Region (OOR) player registration must follow these procedures:
1. A completed and signed copy of the ISC Letter of Intent to Play OOR (available at
http://www.iscfastpitch.com/uploads/File/2006_OOR_Form.xls) must be mailed to Ken Hackmeister with a postmark no later than July 21, 2008 and must include the $100 US fee.
2. Teams must notify ISC II VP Jim Williamson (jrwilliamson(at)foodfacility.com) and Canada East VP Blair Setford (blairjs(at)rogers.com) of any OOR signing by July 21, 2008.
3. Final rosters for all ToC teams are due via email on Monday August 4 using the ISC registration form available at
