2025 Canada East Qualifier June 13-15

Canada East Qualifier at Keterson Park in Mitchell

We hope you're all well and are looking forward to the beginning of the fastball season as much as we are!


Due to the unique nature of 2025 with the compressed season and the desire to have as many competitive club team tournaments as possible, we're changing up our typical ISC Canada East qualifier format for this year to be round robin with single-elimination bracket playoffs. 


All games will be at Keterson Park in Mitchell June 13-15. Softball Premier will be streaming all games on the main diamond again this year.


There will be multiple divisions to ensure a competitive balance and provide opportunites for additional paid berths for the 2025 World Tournament in North Mankato starting July 26. 


WIth the increased number of guaranteed games, the entry fee will be a bit higher this year at a max of $695 CAD. It may be less but will not be any more than that.


We will be including a four-team Legends division again, too.


We recommend booking your hotels early to ensure your space. There's the Quality Inn in Stratford - 25 minute drive - as well as the Listowel Country Inn - about 35 minutes away.


At this point, we're asking teams to please confirm their intent to enter the tournament. 


As always, we thank you for your support and look forward to a top-notch event this June.
