You can check out some of the regionals by going to National Softball Association of the Deaf. Somewhere on there are the links to the regionals. I tend to be involved a lot with the Midwest Athletic Association of the Deaf, Inc..
How about that! The Softball Information Director for the NSAD is a guy named Kevin Ryan.

Don't think it's the same guy, Mike.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Well, I've never met him in person, but his picture on this site is different from the ones I've seen, so... Unless you know otherwise...

The NSAD Kevin Ryan is a nice fella. I've had the pleasure of being around him while working a couple of those nationals. It was funny when you all mentioned the ASA Kevin Ryan a couple of years ago, I had the double take on that name, LOL.

If you work a deaf tournament, do not be stupid. Many of these folks are excellent lip readers. (Not all...please no stereotyping.) One of my cousins in a place not within a thousand miles of Seattle was born deaf and plays in a coed league. Fortunately it is red shirt and not blue shirt, because recently, an umpire in that league made a comment under his breath about so and so coach being an ucking fignoramus. Coach and players were on him like stink on doo doo. Umpire is on suspension.
