Northern Cal Travel League

Monday, February 5th, 2007

From Bob Chapel, in Montana:

To All Teams:

Subject: New Format & Information for 2007

There were changes made to the ASA code at the National meeting in November that will affect our program. National qualifiers were eliminated and you no longer have to play in Regional tournaments.

Region 14 will still offer a national qualifier and regional tournament, instead of berths there will be travel money awarded to the winner. The region has set the following criteria for attending the Nationals; teams must play in FOUR events. The region has identified three events the national qualifier, the association championship and the regional tournament as being special; therefore, teams must play in one of these to count as one of the four events.

See the attached minutes from the last Classification meeting for the new format.

The tournament series will consist of eight events with a new format since there are no berths to play for.

2007 schedule:

March 17 & 18 Stockton Bob Chapel 406-690-0664
March 31& April 1st. Stockton Bob Chapel 406-690-0664
April 21&22 Fairfield Dee Webster 707-428-7584

June 23 & 24 Sonora Jon Abernathy 209-532-4657
July 14 & 15 Sonora Bob Chapel 406-690-0664

With relocating to Montana, it will be more difficult to organize the tournaments this year so I need your cooperation by committing at least two weeks prior to my events. With the first two events being in March, I would like to hear from teams by March 2, 2007 for the events in March. You can commit by either calling me at (406) 690-0664 or (406) 896-1086 or emailing me at chapelrm@msn.com. I have been talking to teams from Central CA about playing in our events so you will need to commit early to secure your spot. If you are going to play in several of my five events and wish to pay for them at one time you may do so. We have addressed last years umpire problems and I have been assured that all umpire assignments will be covered this year, especially in Sparks.

Make checks payable to:

Robert Chapel
Mail to:
1165 Capricorn Place

Please allow extra time for mailing as we are still using Pony Express to deliver in Montana. Any questions just give me a call; we are one hour ahead of your time. Bob

New So Cal League to Host Tournament at Mayfair Park, Lakewood, CA – Jan 20-21, 2007

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

So Cal Fastpitch returns to one of its legendary fields, Mayfair Park in Lakewood, former home of the Lakewood Jets, and rival of the Long Beach Nitehawks. The field is one of the nicest facilities in Southern California, and hosted many top flite tournaments and teams in the 1970’s through the 1990’s. The vice-commish for the new Southern California Independant Fastpitch League, Ron Rupp provides information below on the new leagues’ first tournament. (Ron Rupp has a long history at Mayfair Park, having served as the batboy for the Lakewood Jets, run by his late father, Lanny Rupp. Rupp went on to play for the Jets, and continues to play locally. )

The newly formed SCIFL plans to hold a pre season tune up Fastpitch Tournament on January 20th & 21st at beautiful Mayfair park in Lakewood, Ca. Since the League will begin early this year on the weekend of Feb 17th, League officials thought there might be some interest in a pre season Tourney to give the players some work before the League begins. This Tourney will be open to the “B” and “C” teams, we suspect up to 10 teams will want to participate in this SCIFL event? The fee will be $300 and will be played in the round robin format with each team playing a four game minimum. Since the SCIFL is a soveriegn or independent League, we plan to offer our teams the option of National bids from both the ASA and NAFA in 2007. If your Team is interested in participating in this SCIFL pre season event, please leave a message @ 562-989-3339 or Email FHANKER@aol.com

Sincerly SCIFL

Vice Commish
