\n\t\t\tAbout the Pacific Coast Fastpitch League\t<\/h1>\n

\n\t\t\tWest Coast Regional Softball\t<\/h2>\n\t

The Pacific Coast Fastpitch League (PCFL) originated from a group of the top California fastpitch organizations who banded together over the summer to form the California Fastpitch League (CFL). Following the announcement of the Texas Fastpitch League and Heart of America Fastpitch League, leaders from the Athletics Mercado, Batbusters, Corona Angels, and Firecrackers as well as some of the top event organizers on the West Coast came together to create a structure that promotes purposeful play and to bring unity amongst teams and events on the West Coast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhat Is the PCFL?\t<\/h3>\n\t

The PCFL is a regional league for fastpitch teams in the 10U to 18U age divisions. The PCFL represents four states in the western half of the US including Arizona, California, Nevada, \u00a0and Hawaii. Our mission is to bring an enhanced level of play and equal opportunity to all teams and players within the Pacific Coast.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHow is the PCFL related to the other leagues?\t<\/h4>\n\t

The PCFL is a Member League of The Alliance Fastpitch. This means that the League Championship and top finishers in AFCS Qualifying Events will earn a berth to The Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series at the Tier I and Tier II divisions. Being a League Team inside of The Alliance Fastpitch means team standings will be calculated at each age division and team and individual stats will be recognized.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, this means all individual athletes and individual coaches will register as individual members of The Alliance Fastpitch. This membership includes insurance, background checks for coaches, and access to all Membership Benefits. See more about Alliance Memberships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHow do I earn points in the PCFL?\t<\/h5>\n\t

Teams earn points at Alliance endorsed events. Events can be found on our league\u00a0schedule.<\/a><\/p>\n

All games MUST<\/b> be scored using AthletesGoLive (AGL). AGL provides reports about the event – what teams played each other, game scores, and stats. It is VERY<\/strong> important to score all of your games in AGL. If you do not score your games in AGL, they will not be included in our leaderboard calculations.\u00a0<\/b>To confirm your Alliance ID has been tied to your AGL account, log into your AGL team account (app or web) and your Alliance ID will be listed on the HOME page. If it is blank, please follow these instructions to register for AGL: Click here<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhat do my points mean?\t<\/h6>\n\t

Points earned in the PCFL will seed teams into the PCFL League Championship events. These events will award berths to the Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series at each age division and Tier. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHow many AFCS berths are available for PCFL teams?\t<\/h6>\n\t

Please visit the Alliance Event Types and League Standards<\/a> page for more information\u00a0<\/p>\n
