[Niagara Falls, Ontario] -Calling all masters teams in Ontario, especially new teams !<\/p>\n

The Ontario Masters “A” & “B” Provincial Championships will take place July 18th. 19th. & 20th. in Niagara Falls Ontario at Ker Park. The Ontario Amateur Softball Association ( OASA ) has added a brand new “B” division for this year. This new division was created to allow teams
\nto compete that normally don’t attend the Ontario Masters Championship tournament. Some
\nmasters players \/ teams just aren’t quite able to compete with the elite level masters
\nteams. The upper level masters teams consist of several players who are still playing at a very high level with. There are tons of masters teams in Ontario that no longer attend or refuse to come to the Ontario Masters Championship because as they say ” why do I want to bring my team and get embarrassed by an all star team with a bunch of “ringer” players?” These teams now have their own “B” division to play in against other teams of the same caliber.<\/p>\n

The new Masters “B” division has strict eligibility rules in place to ensure any “B” division teams
\nwill be competing against teams of the same caliber. Click the following link to view these new eligibility rules : <\/p>\n
