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.
RSPA League fees 2024: $1800 plus tournament $400 plus banquet deposit $240 required. See RSPA Info/League Fees
Teams are still required to play in one tournament $400 entry fee.
All RSPA tournaments are tentatively one day Saturday.
RSPA Possible Rule Changes for 2024:
• 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.
ROSTERS - Random roster checks on all playoff games.
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.
RSPA MEETING: A team rep or team member MUST ATTEND one of the RSPA league meetings.
TEAM PICTURE - Team photos are required again for 2024.
Considering fine or penalty for no team photo or failure to respond to league emails.

SPN and SPOA Announce Merger
Updated April 2, 2024
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.
Questions can be sent to info@slopitch.org -- info@slo-pitch.com

How does the SPN-SPOA merger and the subsequent new system affect RSPA?
MEMBERSHIP PLANS: SPN-SPOA Play Slo-Pitch 2024 Membership Plans
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.
SPN-SPOA Merged Coed Provincial Championships - REVISED FOR 2024!

- But will now be SPOA style with "big ball-small ball".
Female batters will be pitched to with the Ladies 11" softball while male batters will use the regular 12" softball.
ROSTERS: The new computer system is a work in progress with slow loading pages and frequent down time.
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.
