ISC Board of Directors Meeting Summary
Blair Setford • September 28, 2021
The International Softball Congress held its annual Board of Directors meeting at the 2021 ISC World Tournament in Eldridge, IA.
With the upheaval caused by the global health pandemic, the Board determined that no rules changes was the most prudent course of action to ensure stability for ISC teams for 2022.
A reminder to all teams the PRAWN list from 2019 will be in effect for the 2022 season.
It was agreed that ISC officers would serve on the Executive Committee for another year before elections will be held in 2022.
The ISC is pleased to make the following announcements:
- a two-year extension provided to ISC Executive Director Larry Fisher
- the appointment of three new regional commissioners:
- Bill Berkenpas, Holland, MI US East
- Brett Legler, Chanhassen MN US Central
- Joe Quick, Walcott, IA US Central

Lions Park in Simcoe, Ontario is host to Chiefs Challenge
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.
