To All Managers:
The Santa Fe Springs opening season starts this weekend in Little Lake Park. As of today, no team has expressed interest in running a snack bar with the city limitation requirements so no food will be sold. I’m working on getting someone to at least sell drinks, such as water and Gatorade, just in case some players forget to bring their own or wish to purchase some at the park.
Teams that have expressed interest in participating have been included in the attached schedule.
Alliance Tournament 02_16-3-19 and 20 Round Robin
Alliance Tournament 02_16-3-19 and 20 Single Elimination
Below are a couple of reminders for this weekend’s tournament and the ASA Non-Approved Bat List along with the tamper proof decal stickers will be strictly enforced.
ASA Non-Approved Bat List
The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA)/USA Softball, the National Governing Body of Softball in the United States, in working with Easton Baseball/Softball Inc. (Easton), announced today that Easton is voluntarily removing the following softball bat models from the ASA/USA list of certified bats: SCN1, SCN11BH, SCN1B, SCN2B, SCN3, SCN4B, SCN5, SCN5B, SCN6B, SCN7, SCN7B, SCN8, SCN8B, SCN9, SCX14, SCX14B, SCX24B, AND SCX3.
Other organizations that currently use ASA’s bat performance standards such as the NCAA, NFHS, NAIA, NJCAA may restrict such bats from play in 2016 and beyond.
Bat Testing
Tamper proof decal stickers will be utilized at this event so each bat will need to be tested prior to use. 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.In order to start the games on time please arrive at least 45 minutes prior to game time so we can test your bat and provide passing bats with a tamper proof decal sticker for umpires to check on the field.
Disclaimer
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.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jesse Ortiz
SCIFL President / Commissioner / Tournament Director
