It's official, the Rocky Mountain Fastpitch Association officially
merged with NAFA. 
The North American Fastpitch Association better known as NAFA

pitching restrictions of pitchers of AAA and lower from our Master
Pitchers list on our website at www.Nafafastpitch.com 
 
NAFA and the RMFPA are pleased to announce this merger which
takes effect today. The work that the Rocky Mountain Fastpitch
Association has done developing the "Wood Bat" events in the
Rocky Mountain States has been invaluable to a sport that needs
new energy injected into it for future growth. In addition the
focus on safety that is shared by both NAFA and the RMFPA will
serve the players of our fine sport in the future as well. 
 
NAFA will take over the operation of the 2007 "Wood Bat" World
Series to be held Labor Day weekend in Longmont, Colorado. It
will now be officially called the 2007 NAFA "Wood Bat" World
Series. To enter the NAFA Wood Bat World Series, contact the

Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and West Texas. Those State Directors
will report to Dave Parker as the regional contact and Dave Parker
will report to Jon Kegel, NAFA Western Vice President. 
 
Dave Parker will also serve on the Development Committee which
is presently outlining a three step outline to assist people
