Below is a list, by ISC region, of some of the tournaments and leagues being used as ISC Qualifying events for 2007 berths in the ISC World Tournament and ISC II Tournament of Champions.
Included is each regions Vice President and his email address. Any questions about a particular regions qualifiers should be directed to the appropriate Vice President.
Regional definitions are shown on the ISC website: http://www.iscfastpitch.com/index.php?page=87
From front page, click on Rules & Forms link in left margin.
This initial list will be supplemented as more qualifiers are added. Some on this list are missing some key information which will also be addressed in supplemental updates.
Any team participating in an ISC qualifier, qualfies for a possible invite championship berth even if the team can’t or doesn’t qualify by winning the tournament.
This list will be updated as Vice Presidents inform me of more qualifiers.
