10th Annual World Series ofFastball
July 13, 14, 15, 2007
Orillia, Ontario, Canada
Although it is only December, the organizing committee ofthe annual World Series of Fastball has been hard a work for a couple of monthsplanning the 10th anniversary celebration of one of the top annualinvitational tournaments. Casino Rama has been the title sponsor of thetournament since the very beginning and have monetarily supported thetournament since day one. During the past few months the casino has beenreviewing all their various sponsorships and we were notified just a couple ofweeks ago that they would not be returning as the title sponsor of thisevent. As one of the original members of the organizing committee, Iwould like to thank Casino Rama for all their support over the first nine yearsof the tournament.
Now for the good news, after much thought process andplanning I am pleased to announce that the 10th edition of theannual tournament will go ahead as planned on the weekend of July 13 –15, 2007. As a result of the loss of the tournaments title sponsor wehave had to make some minor changes but our goal is to make sure the fans ofthe tournament will not see any negative changes to the way the tournament hasalways been operated. We are presently looking for a new title sponsorand we hope to soon have an announcement with regards to securing that sponsor.
For the 2007 tournament, we will be dropping the Casino Ramaname and the tournament will know be called simple the “WORLD SERIES OFFASTBALL”. We have developed an updated logo that we will soonrelease on our website.
We will again operate the tournament with 10 teams whichwill include the top teams in North America. We also hope to showcase some of Ontario’s premier teams and playersat this year’s tournament. If you have not already talked with meand you would like your team to be considered for one of the invitations pleaseemail or phone me ASAP. Within the next couple of weeks I hope to startannouncing the teams that will be competing at the 2007 tournament.
The tournament website (www.city.orillia.on.ca/worldserieswill be updated within the next week to ten days so that everyone can accessup-to-date information on the tournament. I will also continue sendinformation out over Al’s list as we continue to finalize the plans forthe 10th anniversary of the annual World Series of Fastball.
