2011 ISC Rules & Procedure Changes
September 13, 2010
Farmington, UT
The following changes for the 2011 season, were recently approved by the ISC Board of Directors at the annual meeting in Midland.
1. A PRAWN that plays in more than one tournament for a team prior to the World Tournament, but is not included on that team’s roster for the ISC World Tournament, and does not participate for any other team in the World Tournament, will have his PRAWN status extended for one additional year.
2. Approved Out of Region (OOR) players on all ISC teams must play in an approved ISC Qualifying event or an invitational in both June and July with their current year’s team to be eligible for World Tournament play.
3. Each team will be allowed one exception to the requirement that Out-of-Region players on all ISC teams must play in either an approved ISC Qualifying event or an invitational in both June and July with their current year’s team to be eligible for World Tournament play.
4. For 2011 and beyond, teams will be limited to five (5) PRAWN players (combination of 1 pitcher and position players), plus age-related exceptions that have been named All-World in the last 3 years — only one of which may be a pitcher, regardless of which position the pitcher was named as PRAWN. Teams are still limited to 2 OOR pitchers for the season. All teams must name their PRAWNs to the Executive Director by May 1 each year.
5. Change the ISC Appeal Form – eliminate ISC II reclassification and insert Exemption. Note: This was previously announced and revised form is currently available on ISC web site.
6. If a non-PRAWN player or players makes an All-World team in the current year, that team will be allowed to carry that player or players until such time that a PRAWN player leaves the team or drops out of the 3-year criterion. If a player makes All-World while with Team A and they have 6 current PRAWN players (5 beginning in 2011 and beyond), then Team A would be able to carry 7 until one of the 7 leaves the team (or they fall outside of the 3-year boundary), then they will only be allowed 6 (5 beginning in 2011 and beyond) for the following year.
The exception does not apply for the one PRAWN pitcher stipulation.
7. The ISC Region Definitions is changed to move Alabama from US East to US Central because the entire state of Alabama is in the Central Time Zone.
