17th annual Quad Cities Senior Softball Classic National Qualifier for the 2012 Senior Softball World Championships (Senior Softball-USA)

Let me wish all the teams, and individuals who have participated in the Quad Cities Classic a joyous and very happy new year. It’s never too early to start planning for the 2012 Senior Softball-USA(SSWC) year. The cry of play ball will soon be in the air. Oil the glove, give your Miken bat special treatment, stock up on the sports rubs, ibuprofen, and mark your calendar for the 2012 Quad Cities Classic, the oldest continuous senior softball tournament in the Midwest. The tournament, will be played at the Rock Island Sports Complex, June 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, 2011. TEAMS MUST CONTACT ME FIRST via email, FAX, letter, or give a call to be entered. Calling the National Office first will NOT guarantee your team a spot in the tournament. We have set tournament records the last two seasons in the 50 and 55 divisions as to the number of teams. Because our playing times (leagues) and field facilities-(number) are limited, last seasons’ teams, and the teams on the 2011 waiting list are given first priority for play in 2012. Also, we do not offer, or advertise for Major + teams. Finally, please send your entry check BEFORE you book any rooms. As stated, your team is not entered or drawn until entry check is in hand! I do not want to be surprised after I draw brackets, because your team will not get to play. Entry Deadline is June 09, 2012, No exceptions! Also Jumers Casino and Hotel is 1 mile from the complex!! - Gus Linke

Team Must Contact Gus Linke via email, FAX, letter, or give a call FIRST to be entered. Calling the National Office first will NOT guarantee your team a spot in the tournament.
