The world’s top female softball players are returning to South Surrey’s Softball City this July after a one-year absence and under a new tournament title.

The medallists from the 2010 world championship -the U.S., Japan and Canada -plus fifth-place Venezuela and sixth-place Australia will compete in the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championship’s International Division and play a double round-robin before heading into double knockout playoffs.

The July 9-17 championships will also include an elite Club Team division, plus the under-19 Future’s division and the under-16 Showcase division, which were contested last year.

The tournament replaces the old Canada Cup, a near annual fixture at Softball City since 1993 and an event bankrolled in large part by Glen Todd. Click here to read the complete story at the Vancouver Sun.

  1. How much is a ticket? Where are those games going to have exactly? I want to watch the games, so I need to book hotel around a field.
