Appeals will be considered through the process outlined below until July 30 of the current year.

Rosters
All ISC II team rosters must be approved by the ISC prior to participation in any ISC II Travel League, Area Qualifying Tournament or Championship Tournament.
ISC II teams may have up to three (3) out-of-area players, one (1) of whom may be from “offshore” (from outside Canada, the U.S. or Mexico). There is a limit of two (2) out-of-area pitchers per team. All out-of-area players must be registered with the ISC, and the appropriate fee must be paid by May 1 of the current year.
NOTE: It is mandatory that any offshore pitcher or player names be submitted for approval even if they don't appear on the ineligible list.
Additional details on out-of-area player registration and fees can be found on the ISC web site under the Rules section.
No player or pitcher will be allowed to compete in both the ISC World Tournament and ISC II Tournament of Champions, or in separate qualifiers for the ISC World Tournament and ISC II Tournament of Champions in the same season.
A player or pitcher who competes in a dedicated ISC World Tournament qualifier and either does not qualify for or does not attend the ISC World Tournament is not eligible to play in the ISC II Tournament of Champions.
Pitchers or players who play on a team which qualifies for the ISC World Tournament through a combined qualifier but do not attend the ISC World Tournament are not eligible to play in the ISC II Tournament of Champions.
No player or pitcher may attempt to qualify for the ISC II Tournament of Champions from more than one area or for more than one team in any one season.
Once teams have qualified for the ISC II Tournament of Champions, they are allowed three (3) pick-ups from ISC II-eligible players from within their area. Pick-ups must meet all ISC II eligibility guidelines and must be noted on the final roster submitted at the Tournament of Champions registration.
Returning teams must have 70% of their roster to qualify for the automatic berth for the following year.
