At the 2025 ISC World Tournament in North Mankato, MN, the International Softball Congress conducted its annual Board of Directors meeting. The following changes were made: 1. Long-time ISC Executive Director Larry Fisher resigned his position effective at the end of the 2025 ISC World Tournament. The ISC thanks Larry for his years of service. The ISC will continue its search for a new Executive Director to assume the role. In the interim, the duties of Executive Director will be shared amongst several in the organization. 2. Under Regional definitions, players from Oregon and Washington may play in BC in the Canada West region and be considered in-region and players from BC may play in Oregon and Washington in the US West region and be considered in-region. 3. An ad-hoc committee will be appointed to review the ISC World Tournament Host Committee contract to modernize and update the document. 4. A Legends Tournament standing committee will be struck with a mandate to oversee the ISC Legends Championship Tournament. Updated Legends rules for 2026 drafted by the Legends Committee have already been approved by the Board and posted. 5. For ISC World Tournament umpires, travel fees will increase from $2000 to $4000 for contracts starting in 2028. Similarly, game fees will increase by $5 per year starting in 2028. The ISC Umpire-in-Chief will also provide evaluations for umpires working their first ISC World Tournament. As previously announced: • The ISC will welcome Canadian players Jeff Ellsworth and Ian Fehrman, Argentine pitcher Lucas Mata, manager Jeff Borror, former ISC President Dean Oscar and long-time Gremlins sponsor Bruce Tanski to the Hall of Fame at the 2026 Induction Ceremony.

It’s with great sadness that I announce the passing of Fred Malatches from Cambridge, Ontario. Fred was not only a very close friend, but also a 4-time ISC World Tournament umpire in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Fred passed away overnight at his home. Fred’s family was so important to him and I know they will miss him dearly. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Randy McLamb ISC Umpire-In-Chief
