Softball Canada to hold "Senior B" Nationals in 2011

from Mike Branchaud

2011 Senior Mens “B” Championship

Softball Canada is pleased to announce that we will add a Sr B / intermediate event to the 2011 Senior Men’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship in Owen Sound, ON. With all Championships going to an open concept beginning in 2012, this pilot event will allow Softball Canada to gather further feedback and continue to make changes to the Canadian Championship structure to encourage more participation.

The goal of this Championship is to attract some teams from Provinces that may not have participated in the original format. This new format will provide Senior B, Intermediate, Tier 2 teams the chance to play in a Canadian Championship against teams at their own level.
