Subject: ISC Changes For 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the significant 2008 changes approved by the ISC Board
of Directors in Kitchener. These are in no particular order
of importance.
Carrol Forbes Foundation Scholarships - Beginning immediately,
high school seniors are eligible to win this $500 scholarship.
Previously, applicants were required to have completed some
college study. If a high school senior wins the scholarship,
payment will be withheld until at least one semester of college
is completed.
A 2nd annual scholarship has been approved so two $500 scholarships
will be awarded each year. Details about the scholarship program
are shown on the ISC web site.
Mexico and Caribbean Now Part of International Region - Effective
with the 2008 season, all of Mexico and the Caribbean will be
considered part of the International Region. Previously, Mexico
was included in both US West and US Central regions and the Caribbean
was part of US East region. This means any players living in
Mexico or the Caribbean will be considered Out Of Region for
US and Canadian based teams.
Mike Cutro New US East Regional Commissioner - Mike Cutro, sponsor
and manager of the CPI team of Oswego, NY has been named a US
East Regional Commissioner. Mike brings a passion and knowledge
of the game including familiarity with the ISC II caliber teams
in NY state and New England.

in 2008, all team entry fees are standardized at $350 for both
World Tournament and ISC II teams.
2008 Hall of Fame Inductees - Hal Britton, Denny Bruckert, Doug
Chase, Al Doran, Floyd "Blue" La Vergne and Gordon Wise will
be inducted into the ISC Hall of Fame in Kimberly, August 10,
2008.
Catcher Courtesy Runner Rule Eliminated - The prior rule allowing
for a 2-out courtesy runner for the catcher, has been eliminated.
US West Region Changes - El Paso, Hudspeth, Culbertson, Jeff
Davis and Presidio counties in west Texas are now part of US
West region.
Dean Oscar Elected ISC President - Dean Oscar of Reedsburg, WI
was elected ISC President replacing Dick Mason who chose to not
run for re-election. Dick remains as an ISC Commissioner in
the US West region. All other previous officers were re-elected.
New Statistics Category Added - A pitching category was added
as an official ISC statistic. It is for pitchers with the longest
consecutive win streak in ISC World Tournament competition.
This will be added in the 2008 ISC Guide and placed on the ISC
web site.
Kimberly Will Be A 7-day Tournament In 2008. ISC II 4-days -
Due to requests from host cities, the 2008 ISC World Tournament
will be a 7-day tournament, from Sunday thru Saturday. Likewise,
the ISC II Tournament of Champions will be a 4-day tournament
from Wednesday thru Saturday.
