2024 SCIFL Alliance Season Opener<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

SCIFL will be hosting its Alliance Tournament season opener on March 23-24, 2024 at Little Lake Park, Santa Fe Springs, CA. Depending on how many teams participate will determine if this will be a 2-day tournament or a 1-day tournament. It will have a round robin format followed by a single elimination.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$500 for a 2-day tournament for 6 or more teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$420 for a 1-day tournament for 4 to 5 teams to be held on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0In addition, this year we are welcoming Masters teams to participate in the event. Masters teams that want to participate will play Masters teams only and it will be on Sunday similar to the regular Masters schedule. Team participation will determine how many games will be played and the cost, since we will only have two fields to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Teams interested in participating in the event need to contact the tournament director, Jesse Ortiz, at\u00a0scifastpitch (at) gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0by Saturday, March 9, 2024 so the fields can be paid the following Monday, per the City of Santa Fe Springs permit agreement. Once the field rentals have been paid we will not be able to make any adjustments so please make sure you notify Jesse in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0We will continue to use the bat tester and provide tamper proof decal stickers at this event. 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\u2019s been tampered with will not be allowed in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0In 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0SCIFL 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\u2019s roster (players) from suspension. SCIFL will take the team\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesse Ortiz<\/p>\n\n\n\n
