Tournament Director: Patrick King vicecommissioner@wesa.net
The Pride Softball Canada Cup (PSCC) is a national all-gender inclusive slo-pitch tournament built on community, competitive balance, and belonging.
Hosted by WESA and our partners in Vancouver/Surrey BC, the PSCC brings together players and teams from across Canada and the United States for a tournament experience that reflects how inclusive leagues play — team-based with a single-player option, competitive, and welcoming to all.
- 300 host players
- 20 host teams
- 3 divisions
- 100% of our league participating
Register as a Team or as a Player. Every game matters. Everyone belongs.
What Makes the PSCC Different?
The PSCC is built on a unique foundation:
- 100% of our host league participates
- Full divisions across a wide-range of skill levels
- NO ratings protests
- A structure designed for competitive, meaningful games
- A tournament experience grounded in inclusion and community
- Slo-pitch National (SPN) rules as a foundation for gameplay
- Strike Mat for more consistent calls at home
This is not an exhibition event. It’s a fully active tournament environment from first pitch to final game.
Using 2025 iPride Ratings
2025 iPride Ratings are used to qualify players for division play in the 2026 PSCC. There are NO ratings protests. However, the tournament committee may move teams to ensure a positive tournament experience for all.
Full tournament rules will be released soon. There will be minimum playtime expectations for every team member.
Divisions at the PSCC
The PSCC uses a WESA-led division model with iPride alignment to help teams understand where they fit.
Our divisions balance:
- Player ratings
- Team composition
- Real team play dynamics
- Goal of 10 teams per division
The goal: competitive games for every team
>>> COMMUNITY (E) Developing & Entry-Level Play
- Rating Limit: 6 (+ Flex available)
- Focus on participation, learning, and growth
- Supportive, inclusive environment
Best Fit: New players • Recreational teams • Mixed-experience rosters
Comparable to: iPride E
>>> INTERMEDIATE (D) Balanced Team Play
- Rating Limit: 7 (+ Flex available)
- Developing to experienced players
- Emphasis on fair competition and positional play
Best Fit: Established recreational teams • Developing competitive teams
Comparable to: iPride lower–mid D
>>> COMPETITIVE (Upper D). Core Players Rated 8–10
With flex for up to 4 C-rated players (max rating 13)
Best Fit:
- Established D teams
- Teams that play together
- Teams seeking higher competition with C-player inclusion
Comparable to: iPride strong D / D+
Balancing Competition
To ensure fair and competitive play across all divisions:
- Team Cap = Top 10 players only
- Community Team Cap: 51
- Intermediate Team Cap: 72
- Competitive Team Cap: 107
- Flex applies to player ratings, not the cap
- Only points above the rating limit count
Flexibility & Inclusion
Flex points support inclusive participation across all teams.
Flex may be applied for:
- Age
- Disability
- Injury or recovery
- Team composition needs
How it works:
- Applied to individual player ratings
- Does not increase team caps
Examples:
- Community: 1 flex point (one player per team may have an iPride rating of 7)
- Intermediate: 3 flex points (3 players with an iPride rating of 8, or one 8 and two 9s, or one 10)
- Competitive: Up to 4 C-rated players (max rating 13)

FAQS
How do I choose the right division?
Start with your core player ratings and team experience:
- New or mixed teams → Community (E)
- Developing teams → Intermediate (D)
- Established teams (8–10 core) → Competitive (Upper D)
If unsure, we’ll help you find the right fit.
What does “flex” mean?
Flex allows teams to include players who are slightly above the division rating limit.
It exists to support:
- Inclusion
- Accessibility
- Real team composition
How does flex work in each division?
- Community: 1 flex point (e.g., one player at 7)
- Intermediate: 3 flex points shared across players (e.g., one player at 10 or three players at 8 etc.)
- Competitive: Up to 4 C-rated players (max rating 13)
Does flex increase our team cap?
No.
- Team caps are fixed (Top 10 players)
- Flex only applies to player ratings
What does “Team Cap” mean?
Your top 10 players’ ratings are totaled:
- Community: 51
- Intermediate: 72
- Competitive: 107
Only points above the rating limit count toward the cap.
What if our team plays together regularly?
Teams that regularly play together and have strong chemistry should consider:
Competitive (Upper D)
Can teams be moved between divisions?
Yes.
The tournament committee may adjust placement to ensure:
- Competitive balance
- Meaningful games
- Positive experience for all teams
Is Competitive a C division?
No.
It is a strong D division with limited C-player inclusion.
From which year are player ratings used?
2025
For players who are from member leagues of International Pride Softball (iPride), the process of determining your iPride ratings is simple. We simply confirm the rating submitted matches that on record for 2025. If a player is new to the league, then the 2026 rating is used.
For teams with players from outside iPride, your team manager is responsible for submitting fair and accurate ratings by the deadline. We can help you with this. WESA has experienced volunteers who can talk you through the ratings questions.
