From the SCIFL
To All Managers:
The SCIFL opening Alliance tournament will be held on Saturday, March 19th and Sunday March 20th, 2016 at Little Lake Park, Santa Fe Springs, CA. This tournament will have a round robin format on Saturday followed by a single elimination on Sunday.
Teams interested in participating will need to contact the tournament director, Jesse Ortiz, at scifastpitch@gmail.com by Sunday, March 6, 2016 because the field rentals need to be paid on Monday, March 7, 2016. Once the field rentals have been paid we will not be able to make any adjustments.
SCIFL is a non-profit organization that only receives funds from the entry fee teams pay to cover the expenses of running a tournament. Once a team commits to the tournament the expenses are calculated and the field rentals are paid in advance. If a team has committed and then decides to drop out of the tournament, for any reason, they will be subject to the entry fee to cover expenses. The fees will need to be paid prior to any future SCIFL and NAFA tournaments to avoid the team’s roster (players) from suspension. SCIFL will take the team’s roster from the last tournament the team played and will place it on a suspension list if the cancellation fee is not paid. This means players from that team will not be able to play in any SCIFL and NAFA tournaments until the cancellation fee is paid, so please make sure when you commit you are committed to playing in the tournament.
SCIFL will continue using the ba??t tester so tamper proof decal stickers will be utilized at this event. Each bat will need to be tested prior to use and bats that do not have a tamper proof decal sticker will not be allowed in the game. Players should not try to take the tamper proof decal sticker off because any bat with a sticker that looks like it’s been tampered with will be asked to re-test the bat which could delay the game.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jesse Ortiz
SCIFL Commissioner / Tournament Director
