JACK GRAFMEIER MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT Sunset Park, Kimberly, WI The Jack Grafmeier Memorial Tournament at Sunset Park in Kimberly, WI was established in 1997 by the Kimberly Rec Association (KRA) to honor the late Jack Grafmeier. Jack was a long time KRA board member and ISC Commissioner. Jack was instrumental in getting the ISC World Tournament to Kimberly which has hosted it more times than any other location. It is also widely considered by many as one of the best World Tournament and softball venues around. He was also the tournament director for several of the World Tournaments that Kimberly hosted. The tournament has held host to some of the top fastpitch teams in the country. Teams include The Farm (Madison, WI), Decatur Pride (Decatur, IL), County Materials (Marathon, WI), New Zealand Black Sox, USA Men’s National Team, Circle Tap (Denmark, WI) and many many more. See the attached list of Champions and Runners Up for the tournament. There have been two 3-peat champions in Hank and Karen’s (Appleton, WI) 2013-2015 and Tin Cup Tornados (St Paul, MN) 2016-2018. This year will mark the 26th year of the tournament. We are happy to announce that the Jack Grafmeier will have 16 teams this year. Should be a great tournament!
