Posting Scores & Stats

May 26th, 2005

A reminder to all ISC II teams to post their scores and stats to Al Doran’s Fastball List – fastball@pmihrm.com – to be considered for the ISC II Rankings.

The next rankings will be released the week of May 30, so please ensure you send in your results from this weekend’s tournaments no later than Monday evening or first thing Tuesday so they can be considered.

The ISC II Rankings Committee has significantly more teams to consider than in the ISC division, so the best way to get your team noticed is to post your results.

Please include game scores, winning & losing pitchers and top batters. If you beat a ranked team, include their ranking for a point of comparison.

The ISC II rankings will not only form the basis for seeding the teams for the ISC II Tournament of Champions, but they will also be a factor when teams are are being considered for invite berths.

Cheers,

Blair Setford
ISC II Commissioner
