The 2010 Pee Wee Girls Canadian Fast Pitch Championship will be open to all levels of play (A, B, C, Tier 1, 2 etc.). This will mark the first time a Canadian Championship will be open to all teams from all levels of ability in the same age category. Interested teams are asked to contact their local Provincial/Territorial Offices to register for the event. An online 'intent to register' form is also available on the tournament website, and will be forwarded to the respective Provincial/Territorial Office once completed. The cost to register is $400 plus a $1,000 hotel bond, which will be applied towards the hotel cost. Ground transportation will only be provided to the teams who will be flying to Montreal. These teams will be required to stay at the Wyndham Montreal Airport Dorval, which will be the only hotel from where ground transportation will be provided. Teams who are driving to the tournament will choose from three tournament hotels: the Quality Suites, the Holiday Inn and/or the Comfort Inn. Should a team decide not to stay in any of the above hotels, they will forfeit their $1,000 hotel bond to the host committee. In terms of prizing, a trophy or a plaque will be given to the gold-medal winning team in each division, as well as medals to the first, second and third place teams in each division. Each player will also receive a participation gift to be determined by the host. As for the competition format, any team can declare whether it would like to compete in the highest division, the 'Cup Division'. This division will follow traditional Canadian Championship format and guidelines for the playoff round. If a team does not wish to play in the top division, they will play in a seeding round. They will be seeded based on feedback provided by their Provincial/Territorial Softball Association and placed in a pool to determine the division they will ultimately compete in. Wherever possible, teams from the same Province or Territory will be placed in different pools. Once the seeding round is completed, teams will be placed in divisions based on their seeding round record. Once the divisions have been determined, the records of all teams are erased and an elimination tournament is played to determine the division winner. Each team will play a minimum of six games including playoffs. The tournament rules will follow the 2009-2010 Softball Canada Rulebook, with the exception of a few modifications (listed in the link below). The official tournament website can be found at www.quebecnational.com.
