TOURNAMENTS
Alliance
SCIFL will be hosting the Cecilio E Smalling Memorial Tournament on April 27-28, 2024 at Little Lake Park, Santa Fe Springs, CA. Depending on how many teams participate will determine if this will be a 2-day tournament or a 1-day tournament; we are hoping for a 2-day tournament. It will have a Round Robin format followed by a Single Elimination.
Cost:
$500 for a 2-day tournament for 6 or more teams.
$420 for a 1-day tournament for 4 to 5 teams to be held on Sunday.
In addition, welcome Masters teams to participate in the event. Masters teams that want to participate will play Masters teams only on Sunday similar to the regular Masters schedule. Team participation will determine how many games will be played and the cost, since we will only have two fields to work with.
Teams interested in participating in the event need to contact the tournament director, Jesse Ortiz, at scifastpitch (at) gmail.com by Saturday, April 13, 2024 so the fields can be paid the following Monday, per the City of Santa Fe Springs permit agreement. Once the field rentals have been paid we will not be able to make any adjustments so please make sure you notify Jesse in a timely manner.
Masters
There were not enough Masters teams to participate in the April 28, 2024 Masters Tournament during the Alliance Tournament so we will not be hosting one.
The next Masters is Sunday, May 5, 2024 at Little Lake Park, Santa Fe Springs, CA. Teams interested in participating will need to contact the tournament director, Jesse Ortiz, at scifastpitch (at) gmail.com by email by Saturday, April 20, 2024 so the fields can be paid the following Monday, per the City of Santa Fe Springs permit agreement. Once the field rentals have been paid we will not be able to make any adjustments so please make sure you notify Jesse in a timely manner.
Disclaimer
We will continue to use the bat tester and provide tamper proof decal stickers at this event. Each bat will need to be tested prior to use. Bats that do not have the current tamper proof decal sticker will not be allowed in the game. Players should not try to take the tamper proof decal sticker off because any bat with a sticker that looks like it's been tampered with will not be allowed in play.
In order to start the games on time please arrive at least 45 minutes prior to game time so we can test your bat and provide passing bats with a tamper proof decal sticker for umpires to check on the field.
SCIFL is a non-profit organization that only receives funds from the entry fee teams pay to cover the expenses of running a tournament. Once a team commits to the tournament the expenses are calculated and the field rentals are paid in advance. If a team has committed and then decides to drop out of the tournament, for any reason, they will be subject to the entry fee to cover expenses. The fees will need to be paid prior to any future SCIFL and NAFA tournaments to avoid the team's roster (players) from suspension. SCIFL will take the team's roster from the last tournament the team played and will place it on a suspension list if the cancellation fee is not paid. This means players from that team will not be able to play in any SCIFL and NAFA tournaments until the cancellation fee is paid, so please make sure when you commit you are committed to playing in the tournament.
***IMPORTANT***The City of Santa Fe Springs "Department of Community Services Parks & Recreation Services Division Athletic Fields - Rental Policy" states "NO ALCOHOL BEVERAGES ALLOWED ON PREMISES; INCLUDING THE PARKING LOT! If a team or spectator is in violation of this policy, the organization may have further use of a City facility suspended. This includes any individual coming onto the premises already intoxicated" so please make sure this policy is adhered to avoid SCIFL from losing its field permit.
If a tournament in progress is stopped, for violating the policy, no refunds will be provided.

SCIFL held its Alliance opener on March 23 - 24, 2024 at Little Lake Park in Santa Fe Springs, CA. Unfortunately, we had to cancel all the Saturday games due to rain. We were able to complete a one-day tournament on Sunday to prepare all the teams for the Las Vegas Road Trip which will be held on April 5 - 7, 2024.
The Budmen and Morongo Men's Club, who are playing in the highest division at the Las Vegas Road Trip tournament, were the two teams that triumph to the Championship game. Both teams had their starting pitchers from Mexico duel it out for seven innings with Budmen defeats Morongo Men's Club 6 to 3 for the Alliance season opener.
