Varsity View Softball : RAMP Registrations 

 

Playoffs:
In Fall of 2023, CRSL made the decision to have a playoff week-end for U13 & up where each team in the league is automatically entered into the playoffs.  Playoffs are NOT opt-in this year, teams will be seeded based on league play and automatically assigned into playoffs.
 
The reasons are as follows:
- Our associations agreed that we do not create All-Star teams at the A level for playoffs or provincials, we do not hold tryouts at A level. Some (other) associations choose to put together all-star teams to compete at provincials and in the end provincials becomes just another AA tournament come playoff Sunday.  Softball Manitoba has been questioned on the intent of provincials participation, but they will not make a decision one way or the other.  We have decided to hold a playoff for our league where teams will compete against other A league teams with no all-star teams. 
- League play is more meaningful when there is a playoff at the end
- Teams in the CRSL are welcome to participate in provincials if they choose.
- Most associations that were involved in this decision have included the cost of the playoff tournament in their registration fees
Playoff week-ends are all to be held at Iles-Des-Chenes as follows:
 
U13 - June 21-23  
U15 - June 28-30
U17 & U19 - July 5-7
 
We opted to not hold playoffs for the U11 age group due to how early their provincials week-end is scheduled.
 
Provincials:
 
Provincial Deadline Registration: June 1st for A

U11 Provincials: June 21 to 23 (Buhler)
U13 Provincials: June 28 to 30 (Portage)
U15 Provincials: July 5 to 7 (Steinbach)
U17 Provincials: July 12 to 14 (La Salle)
U19 Provincials: July 19 to 21 (Crystal City)
