Durk Sherman Labor Day Classic Update
 
Elkland, PA – The Elkland Softball Association is pleased to announce a partnership with the International Softball Congress for the 2012 season.  For the first time in the 60 year history of the Labor Day Tournament in Elkland, PA, the Elkland Softball Association will serve as an international qualifying tournament for the 2013 ISC World Tournament. Elkland will have two bids to award at this year’s Tournament.
 
The first bid will be for an ISC Canadian East berth for 2013.  The highest placing Canadian East team will earn the berth.  The team winning the Canada East berth will have to follow the same roster "rules" as other teams that win berths a year in advance (must return at least 50% of the roster they qualified with, players can leave the roster to attempt to qualify with another team, but they can't return to the roster). Last season Elkland had 5 teams (33% of the participating teams) from Canada participate in the 59th Annual Durk Sherman Labor Day Classic event.
 
The second bid will for an ISC US East berth for 2013. The highest placing US East team will earn the berth.  The team winning the US East berth will have to follow the same roster "rules" as other teams that win berths a year in advance (must return at least 50% of the roster they qualified with, players can leave the roster to attempt to qualify with another team, but they can't return to the roster). Last season Elkland had 10 teams (66% of the participating teams) from the US East participate in the 59th Annual Durk Sherman Labor Day Classic event.
The Elkland Softball Association is also involved in talks to have Ballpark Radio on hand to broadcast several games over the final two days of the tournament. Details of Ballpark radio’s involvement are still undecided at this time.
 
The 60th Annual Durk Sherman Labor Day Classic will be held August 31st through September 3rd at the Elkland Softball Association Complex in Elkland, PA. There is a 24 team limit to this event, with only a $250 entry fee per team.
