The International Softball Congress (ISC) is a nonprofit association for the promotion and administration of softball men and boys fastpitch across North America with athletes from all over the world.
ISC was formed in 1958 as an amalgamation of the National Softball Congress and International Softball League.
The ISC World Tournament is an annual tournament held every August for the best softball club in North America.
Teams from six regions (East, Central, West, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, International) are represented in the World Tournament. ISC allocates berths by region to qualifying tournaments across North America. The team gets an entry by winning either an allocated berth or by accepting a large invitation. The current format has 48 teams taking part in a modified double elimination bracket. The first 16 teams eliminated were relegated to the ISC II Tournament. ISC II Champions Tournament initially began playing in 2002 as a separate tournament for second tier teams. The two tournaments are combined for the 2010 tournament in Midland, Michigan.
