RSPA All-Star Night Friday, July 12
Updated July 13, 2024The RSPA 2024 All-Star Night & Barbecue on Friday, July 12 at Paul Coffey Park.
On and off light showers did not deter the teams and players that showed up.
• Greg Bowers from team Base Ballaz won a drawn out mens home run hitting contest,
with Cody Ireland from Breaking Bones in 2nd place. Both were gracious winners.
• Jamie Franco, Bonecrushers won ladies home run with Melissa VanDelen, Hit Talkers in 2nd.

• Adam Cipollone from ??? won the mens throwing contest.
• Jenna Ellis, Hit Talkers won the ladies throwing contest.
• Base running was cancelled due to slippery conditions.
As usual free barbecue with umpires Mario and Richard manning the grills.
KristaC was the sous chef and Terry Jackson unfortunately found the megaphone again.
JoeV and Ming manned the beverage table and Rocco and Cheryl did most of the events.
and the ladies - Irene, Phoebe, Fatima and Cheryl, did all the draws.
• The 50-50 draw came to $410 split half was $205 for an anonymous winner and donated back to charity.
• Bat draw went unclaimed - yellow ticket number 8113148.
Andrea Copatti from team Batty Yankee has claimed the bat!
• This event was once again dedicated to charity, a fund-raiser for the Covenant House.
• We raised $1887.85 to be donated to the Covenant House in memory of Erin Cumming
• The RSPA All-Star Night was a result of a lot of work and could not be successful
without the help we get from the amazing crew of volunteers!

RSPA Info - What's New
Updated March 23, 2024All information may change as a result of SPN-SPOA merger.
We will continue to address the RSPA Code of Conduct.
We are really going to clamp down on incidents, trash talking and umpire abuse.
Player ejection for umpire abuse or any physical altercation will result in an automatic 3 game suspension.
UMPIRES: All umpires make mistakes, even the major league umpires. They do not deserve to be abused, yelled at or threatened.

![](http://www.slopitch1.com/rspa/rspa_images/redball12.gif)

• If you have any suggested rule changes please submit them. E-mail: accent@slopitch1.com
• We will discuss the following possible rule change:
- going to 1 and 1 count.
- using "big ball-small ball".
- home run rule change from an out to a single.
See RSPA League Rules.
• Walk off home run will be allowed if EITHER team REQUESTS it. No out called for untouched base.

We warned everbody and still eliminated teams from the playoffs for roster violations.
• No more SPN "Player Pool Roster" and RSPA "League/Event Roster" - all one roster now.
Even more stringent on rosters completed and roster checks.

SPN and SPOA Announce Merger
Updated April 2, 2024![SPN and SPOA merger](http://www.slopitch1.com/sp1_images/SPN_SPOAx539x197.png)
UNITED IN BUILDING A STRONGER GAME
Slo-Pitch Ontario and Slo-Pitch National have already been working together in an effort to provide consistency in slo-pitch policies, and beginning with the 2024 season, Slo-Pitch Ontario and Slo-Pitch National will be merging their operations.
More information will be provided as it becomes available.

How does the SPN-SPOA merger and the subsequent new system affect RSPA?

Leagues have to choose between one of two possible membership plans:
- Individual player costs $15 plus HST for every player on your roster (which would be over $300 for larger rosters, as opposed to $120 last year)
- RSPA players should not pay the $15 individual player fee UNLESS they are playing separate/extra tournaments.
- All RSPA players are eligible for all RSPA tournaments without paying the $15.
- Basic team registration is $120 plus HST but DOES NOT INCLUDE any tournaments other than your own league tournaments, Provincials and Nationals.
Teams will now have to register all players for the advanced individual player registration to participate in SuperSeries, Grand Slam, CanAm Classic, Northern Shootout, Senior Circuit and ANY OTHER TOURNAMENT not hosted by your own league.
• This will probably not affect teams/players that participate in multiple tournaments, but I predict that this will result in smaller tournaments as they discourage teams that only participate in one or two tournaments per year.
Most leagues (including RSPA) will select the cheaper basic registration which means that teams will have to pay extra to enter tournaments.

They have increased the number of Provincials with two separate Coed Provincials. SPN-SPOA Play Slo-Pitch 2024 Provincial Championships

![](http://www.slopitch1.com/rspa/rspa_images/redball12.gif)
This will eventually be rectified, but for now is frustrating added to the new system which is different than the last couple of years.
• A couple of major changes. First - no more player pool so no more loading up to 40 players to pick and choose for league and tournament.
Good news is that I no longer have to explain that even though you added the player to your players pool, they are not on your league roster.
ALSO the new system requires players to be registered and have completed the waiver before they can be added or before they show up on the roster.
• HOW TO REGISTER: Go to playslopitch.com and Log In. New players if you do not have an account - sign up. Choose the BASE MEMBER option.
