2023 ISC Canada East Qualifier in Mitchell, ON

Blair Setford • December 27, 2022

Canada East Qualifier June 16-18, 2023

In partnership with LiveWell4Life Inc. and Microchips4solutions Inc/Pets Home Today, ISC Canada East is pleased to announce the 2023 Qualifier Tournament will be held at the revamped Keterson Park in Mitchell, ON on the traditional Father's Day weekend June 16-18.


Mitchell is completely rebuilding the pavillion at the park and it will be finished in time for this inaugural event - see the photo below.


The tournament will feature the ISC men’s division with berths for the 2023 ISC World Tournament in Denmark, WI at the legendary Circle Tap Bar & Grill, along with U20 and Legends 50+ Divisions.


Softball Premier TV will be on hand to provide multi-camera HD streaming from the main diamond.


Teams are encouraged to confirm their spots in the tournaments early as there will be limited space in each division. Entry fee is $575 CAD payable via safe, secure Interac e-transfer.


Hotels are available in nearby Stratford. We suggest booking early to avoid the seasonal rush.


The ISC Qualifier format will be double knockout with a single championship game.


For the U20 and Legends divisions, it will be a round-robin with the top team getting a bye to the championship game and the second and third-place teams playing in a single semi-final.


Our Umpire-in-Chief is Paul Baier, with deputies Ed Otterman and Trevor Topping. Interested officials should contact them about working the tournament.

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.
