The Northeast Championships started today in Syracuse, NY on a very windy but sunny day. There are 38 teams in the first session who are looking to punch their ticket to go to the Tournament of Champions in Florida next Feb 2019. Pool play started today and will conclude tomorrow when bracket play will start .
The 50 AAA bracket of 9 teams will start play tomorrow with Big Bottom Sports as the number one seed. The other seeded bracket is the 60 AAA division with the Cape Cod Mariners as the number one seed. The weather is fantastic for the whole weekend.
I will post the standings at the conclusion of this first session on Sunday.
Thanks,
Chuck Sharkey
NYS Director
Sharkey, I hope that you have a good tournament. Thank you for the update. Good luck to all of the teams. Of course I am a little sad that I did not see Fat Nancy's in the team list. I hope that they are doing well whatever their status is.

I want to thank all of the teams that attended the Northeast Championships in Syracuse, NY the past 6 days. The weather was FANTASTIC ! Congratulations to all of the teams that punched their tickets to the Tournament of Champions next February in Florida. I especially want to thank my fellow directors, Cal Allison and Joe Diana for their work at 2 complexes during Session One. UIC Director Marty Brefta provided a great crew of umpires.
Also great job by Dave Dowell and the SSUSA staff for posting the scores each day on the Senior Softball website.
I look forward to seeing everyone back next year in 2019.
