YMCA League Update
Hello Captains,
The season is beginning to wind down and we are closing in on the playoffs. I just wanted to address any updates you may need and get all the available information to you.
1) This week 6/30 7/2 will be used to play make-up games from previous rain outs. This is the schedule for the week: (Home team listed first)
6/30 Field #6 Fats vs Zombie Hut
6/30 Field #8 Element vs Wades
7/1 Field #8 Dirt Dawgs vs Massey Knakal
7/1 Field #5 B61 vs BNS
7/2 Field #8 Time Served vs Brazen Head (BDS)
2) I am still missing scores from the following games:
Royale vs B61 on 6/25
BK Bread vs Eriksen on 6/27
3) Very briefly I would like to lay out the playoff format and any tie breakers that may be necessary. The top four teams in the east and west will make the playoffs. 8 teams total. The first tie breaker is head to head record. ex.. Team A and Team B both have 7-4 records the team that won their head to head game in the regular season will take the playoff spot. Or if both teams are in the playoffs, the team with the head to head win will have the higher seed. In the event there are three or more teams with the same record and have all split the regular season games, regular season division record is the second tie breaker. i.e.. Team A, Team B and Team C all have identical 6-5 records and in the regular season Team A beat Team B, Team B beat Team C while Team C beat Team A the best division records will decide playoff positioning. In the event all three of these teams have the same division record, run differential will be the deciding factor.
Run differential is determined by subtracting the number of runs your team has allowed from the number of runs your team has scored. The number you are left with is your run differential. If there is any confusion and you would like further explanation, please call me.
4) THE ALL STAR GAME IS APPROACHING: The all-star festivities will be held on Friday July 18th on Redhook Baseball Field #9 (the lighted field across from softball fields on Bay St.). We will once again have food and refreshments, pre-game competitions and one nine inning game between the East and West all-stars. Each team is asked to send three participants for the activities. Of the three there must be at least one woman. Pre-game activities will include long ball competition, out field accuracy and fastest feet. Please get your all-stars to me as soon as possible. And please nominate people that are going to show up. The pre game festivities will start at 5:45.
5) Finally in the event of bad weather this week or next, we will be doing anything in our power to get the games in. Be prepared to work on the fields to get the games in. If there are any rain outs of games that don't effect the playoffs they will not be made up.
