O
n behalf of Softball Canada, I would like to extend our thanks to the organizers and supporters of the 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. This event is important to the game on so many levels. First to all the players, through all the divisions, it is a chance to measure yourself against the best at your level of competition in a fun, professionally organized tournament. Lifetime memories are made here. For the coaches, officials, volunteers and supporters, we sincerely appreciate your efforts on behalf of our sport. You are all making a difference. This year, the tournament will play an integral role in the final preparation for our Senior National Team, which will be attending the World Championship qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico next month. The 2014 Worlds will be held in Holland. Our players are excited to compete against other top teams from around the world here at home in Softball City and we appreciate their support of the event. It is a very important tournament on the World calendar. We also value the learning opportunities this tournament provides for the many young players, who may one day compete on one of our National teams. These club teams play a significant role in the development of our sport and we are glad to see such strong levels of participation from teams from across Canada and around the World. In late October, we will be putting forward a bid for this organizing group to host the 2016 ISF Women’s World Championships. With such a strong, committed group of volunteers, support from all levels of government and a vibrant softball community we have a very strong bid and look forward to presenting it to the delegates of the International Softball Federation. Once again, thank you for your support of the 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch Championship. Enjoy the games! Kevin Quinn, President, Softball Canada

he 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship features an incredible lineup of teams from around the world playing in the Women's International Championship division, including the world's top-fourranked teams.
Team Canada Ranked number four in the world based on the 2012 ISF Women’s World Championship standings, Team Canada will be fighting hard for a win in front of their home crowd at this year’s Scotiabank Canadian Open. Last year, the team beat out Puerto Rico to make it into the playoffs, where they fought some strong battles against the top teams in the world and placed fourth overall in the tournament.
Team Japan Currently ranked number one in the world based on their performance at the 2012 ISF Women’s World Championships, Team Japan is back and ready to defend their
championship title at the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. Team Japan has won this tournament two years in a row, last year having beat Team USA 9-6 in 8 innings to take the gold-medal game.
10 | 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship
Team USA This year’s Team USA is ready to take on the challenge to earn the top spot at the 2013 Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. Last year they finished with a silver medal in a dramatic 8-inning matchup with Team Japan, and are currently ranked number two in the world standings.
Team Australia
The bronze-medal winners at the 2012 Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship are currently ranked third in the world softball standings. Last year, they beat out Team Canada in the bronze medal game and will be looking to improve upon that position this year.
