MEN’S TOURNEY BEING DISCUSSED
Although not yet finalized, significant talks are being held regarding an international men’s fast pitch tournament that would take place early next year. The ISF XIII Men’s World Championship will take place from March 1-10, 2013, so this event – proposed for January – would gave many of the participants an on-field tune-up for the premier event less than two months later. ISF President Don Porter expressed optimism and said, “I’m pleased that there has been a big demand for another high-level international men’s fast pitch softball tournament, so we’re trying to facilitate that.” He said that the talks are centered on staging the tournament in the United States and that, as a result, domestic participation would be welcomed too. “We hope to finalize something soon,” he said. “We have to because at this point it would only be six months’ preparation time.” The ISF is working with the Amateur Softball Association of America to jointly present the event.
