21st Annual Best of the West Tournament - June 4-5, 2011 at Santa Barbara California

October 20, 2010

Santa Barbara, CA

A number of people have inquired as to the future of the Best of the
West Tournament in California, in the wake of the serious injuries
suffered by Dave Blackburn in a car accident in August, 2010.  The
prognosis is that Dave's recovery will be a lengthy process.

This email is to announce that it WILL be held in 2011, marking its
21st consecutive year, the longest running men's open fastpitch
tournament in California.   A group of Dave's friends, including
myself, SCIFL league Commissioner Robert Hernandez, and the
co-tournament director for the past several years, Clyde Bennett, will
serve as temporary tournament directors, and hold the reins during
Dave's absence.   Dave has been the tournament director for the past
13 years, and we all look forward to his return in the future.

Please add the date to your list of tournament dates for 2011, and
watch for further updates with additional information.
