Las Vegas Road Trip XIII
Updated March 13, 2020 @ 9:50 PM
While the current coronavirus (COVID-19) situation is evolving rapidly, it has negatively impacted the Las Vegas Road Trip Tournament. Therefore, we have decided to cancel this year’s tournament for the health and safety our players, umpires, staff members, and spectators.
We wanted to notify you now so you have enough time to cancel your hotel rooms, car rentals, and airplane tickets.
Entry fees will be refunded to all the teams within the next couple of days. Individuals that paid online will be refunded back to their PayPal or Credit Card. I will be reaching out to those who paid by check to make arrangements for their refund.
On behalf of the Southern California Independent Fastpitch League (“SCIFL”), we regret having to cancel this event that everyone loves to attend. We will resume next year, and I look forward to seeing everyone in 2021.

SCIFL and NAFA are pleased to announce the thirteenth edition of the “Las Vegas Road Trip” men’s fast pitch tournament. The event will be held April 3-5, 2020 with the first round games starting Friday at noon, and the Championship games scheduled for 3:00 PM on Sunday.
PLAN EARLY AND LATE
Teams flying in and out should make plans to be ready to play early on Friday and late on Sunday in the event the brackets are running late.
While this tournament is a NAFA sanctioned event, it is run by SCIFL; any questions regarding this tournament must go through the SCIFL Tournament Director Jesse Ortiz.
NAFA DIVISIONS
Teams will be separated in the following divisions:
A
A-Major (depending on amount of teams)
AA/AA-Major (depending on the amount of teams)
The split in the higher classifications will be based on the amount of teams that enter.
NAFA PITCHER’S LIST
The NAFA pitcher’s list will be used to monitor pitchers in the tournament as well as the team’s current classification. No open class pitchers are allowed to pitch in these three divisions. Confirmation into the tournament will be based on the entry fee and roster received.
The classification list posted on the NAFA web site as of January 31, 2020 will be used to classify pitchers. There will be no appeals for pitchers after that date for this tournament.
The NAFA 3-GAME GUARANTEE BRACKET will be used for all divisions with no “IF” games. With a minimum of eight (8) teams in a division, the winner will have their 2020 NAFA World Series entry fee paid for the division they played in.
CONTACT AND PLAYING INFO
Teams interested in participating should contact Jesse Ortiz by email at scifastpitch (at) gmail.com or by cell at (661) 510-8928 and inform him if your team can play all three days. Teams that can play all three days will be placed on the priority list, teams that say they can only play on Saturday and Sunday will be placed on the secondary list. No one will be given a "selected" game time as everyone is traveling to the event.
HOW IT WORKS
We are accepting a maximum of 50 teams which will be placed on a team interested list as first come first serve basis. Once the tournament is full, additional teams will be added to the waiting list and if they pay their entry fee (in full) they will have an opportunity to participate if a team drops out or does not pay by the due date. If a team on the waiting list pays their entry fee and is not able to get in, their entry fee will be refunded.
This tournament has been filling up quickly within the past several years so I would suggest you contact Jesse as soon as possible if you want to be added to the interested team list because as of this post there are 38 teams out of 50 on the list.
ENTRY FEE AND REGISTRATION
The entry fee for the tournament is $585, which includes the $35 Annual NAFA Team Registration Fee. We will start collecting the entry fee beginning January 2, 2020 and once it’s received you will be sent an email to confirm your entry.
All teams will need to submit their entry fee along with their team’s roster, listing all their players and identifying their pitchers to ensure teams are placed in their proper classification.
You can pay online by visiting our website and clicking on the “Pay Online” button on the left hand side column or by check.
Checks can be made out to "SCIFL" and mailed to:
SCIFL
PO Box 6572
Burbank CA 91510
DUE DATE
If money is not received by March 1, 2020, a team may lose their spot to a team on the waiting list who has paid their entry fee. This due date provides teams on the waiting list sufficient time to make appropriate arrangements to participate, if they get in.
ARIZONA CHARLIE’S BOULDER

SUNSET AND WARM SPRINGS PARKS
Information regarding the event, game results and player statistics will be posted on the SCIFL website. This year's tournament once again will be played at Sunset Park and Warm Springs Park; both are located within 1/4-mile of each other and are located by the Las Vegas International Airport.
