Changes Coming to I.S.C. for 2006 Season There will be some changes in place for the 2006 fastball season in I.S.C. competition. In actions taken by the International Softball Congress Board of Directors when they met in August in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, several different areas of regulations were addressed. Among the changes were: ISC AREA DEFINITIONS - - a new list is displayed on the ISC Web Site at <http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstart/forms/ardef.htm>http://www.iscfastpitch.com/webstart/forms/ardef.htm From the front page of the ISC Web Site, click on Rules & Form. States and Areas affected include: California; Nevada; Colorado; New Mexico; Arizona; Canada West; Minnesota; Wisconsin; Illinois; and Northern Illinois. Generally, the changes liberalize and expand areas. Area Definitions are the responsibility of the affected Area Commissioners. This same document will appear in the 2006 ISC Guide to be published in next spring. ISC-II TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS ENTRY FEES - - Beginning in 2006, entry fees are: $250 for Area and Travel League Champions and $300 for Host Team, Defending Champ, Runner Up, and any invited teams. PLAYER HARDSHIP REQUESTS - - Requests are to be sent to the appropriate ISC Area or Travel League Commissioner who will approve or disapprove before sending it on to the ISC Executive Director. PARTICIPANTS OWING ISC, COMMISSIONERS, OR TEAM SPONSORS - - No one will be allowed to participate in ISC programs if they owe any money, equipment, or other property belonging to the ISC, its Commissioners, or Team Sponsors. OUT OF AREA PITCHER DECLARATION - - All teams will be required to declare their OOA pitchers by August 1. If a team(s) have more than two (2) OOA pitchers, the additional pitcher(s) will be released if the pitcher(s) so requests, and he may then be picked up by another team. ISC President, Dick Mason, observed that, "These changes, some rather minor, some not so minor, will have the effect of addressing some topics which have been sort of hanging around and needed clarification." The issue of PRAWN players was addressed and the results of a vote taken later in the fall was previously announced.
