We started the Southland Park Classic four years ago to help teams earn points, especially in an area of the state where there are not many tournaments. From the beginning we have told all the teams that if they play in The Southland they are guaranteed a spot in the Busch. This is accepted practice by the state and the national office. So we must hold the last few spots in the Busch for Southland teams. Any team is free to enter the Busch in normal fashion, but if they wait, then they may get left out. We are sorry that any team gets left out. We have worked very hard for 37 years to build good softball events. Why not enjoy them and do things in a positive manner. I will be happy to talk with anyone about it and work with them on their entry in the Busch. 501-831-2415
