2012 Durk Sherman Labor Day Classic Update (July, 2012)
July 12, 2012
Elkland, PA
Elkland, PA – The Elkland Softball Association is gearing up for their 60th Annual Labor Day Tournament this season. Currently 19 teams have expressed interest in attending this year’s event. Here are some details on the event:
1 - This year is an ISC world tournament dual bid for 2013 (now the rule states that you would have to return only 50% of your team for the 2013 world tourney). 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). 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).
2 - ESA is asking that all teams complete a roster this year for program purposes only and they will need that no later than August 3rd. If you will be going for the bid they need a completed roster filled out from the ISC website.
3- FIREWORKS ARE A DEFINITE and will be approximately 20-30 min long and slated for Saturday night following an 8pm game. Rain date for that will be Sunday night. So if you are bringing your family along this will be a good night to hang around the ballpark! Farr fireworks company was hired for the display
