Gremlins Remain Atop Mid-Season ISC Rankings

Blair Setford • July 3, 2024

Mid-Season Rankings List

 New York Gremlins, undefeated so far in 2024, remain atop the mid-season ISC rankings.


There was no change in the top four teams with Hill United Chiefs in at #2, Bear Creek Express at #3 and NorthEast Drillers at #4. Toronto Batmen and Circle Tap Dukes swapped in the #5 & #6 positions. JB, AWP Lumberjacks and Grand Prairie Pirates are the next three teams, separated by a mere nine points. Kegel Black Knights round out the Top 10.


The summarized rankings are listed above. Shown in the photo below are the raw results from each individual ranking committee member.


The Rankings Committee will release the final rankings right after the July 19 weekend, with the 2024 ISC World Tournament bracket being posted shortly thereafter.


The committee is overseen by Greg Nydick, Rich Haldane, and Bill Berkenpass. We selected 15 committee members from across North America. The committee is made up of Players, Coaches, Administrators, and Associates. We hope this diverse selection balances each other out and allows for all teams to have rankers that see them.

2026 ISC Canada East Qualifier in Mitchell

By Blair Setford • November 16, 2025
ISC Canada East is pleased to announce that our 2026 Qualifier will be coming back to Keterson Park in Mitchell, ON on the traditional Father’s Day weekend of June 19-21. Format will be the same as established in 2025, with a Premier Division featuring Hill United Chiefs, Bear Creek Express, NorthEast Drillers, Bear Creek Gremlins, JDT First Energy and Toronto Batmen – all of whom finished in the Elite 8 at last year’s ISC World Tournament. The ISC Division is expected to host 12 teams. Paid berths plus travel money will be payable to the winners of each division. We will also be hosting a 4-team Legends event. Entry fees will be finalized early in 2026. Softball Premier will be on hand once again to provide coverage of what undoubtedly will be one of the top events on the tournament circuit. We want to acknowledge the cooperation of both Bear Creek Sports & Entertainment and Hill United Chiefs in scheduling three top notch events in a tripleheader through June 2026 as we all build toward the 80th Annual ISC World Tournament at JDT First Energy Veterans Memorial Fields in Melbourne, ON in August. We strongly encourage teams to confirm their intent to enter the Qualifier as soon as possible as space will be limited. In addition, we recommend teams look to secure hotel rooms or rental property space early. For additional information, please reach out to Blair, Joe, Scott or AJ.
