From the Desk of Nicole: Canyon Playoffs: Week 1

Happy Playoffs, Canyon Ballerz! 

 

It's the most wonderful time of the year! PLAYOFFS! Please keep reading as this is some important stuff regarding how the playoffs will go down. 

 

First - the schedule, check out the bracket HERE

 

Make sure to look at which field you're playing on AND where you'll be reffing. Basic rule for week one of playoffs: if you're not playing, you're reffing! I know it's a lot, but it's important: 

• Games start on time - NO GRACE PERIOD
• Games will still be 6 innings. Higher seed chooses home or away
• Only captains with a C on their shirts may discuss calls with refs
• If after 6 innings and time remains, extra innings will be played (see below)
• No new inning after 8:30pm (for first games). For the second games, you may play until lights go out. 
• 12+ rule: If a team is winning by 12 or more runs and 3 full innings have been played, game ends at completion of next full inning
• If the game is tied after 6 innings, extra innings can be played if abiding by the "no new inning" rule above. 
• Extra innings - 8 people in the field (4 guys, 4 girls); kicking team places last kicker on 2nd base. Start inning with no outs, no count. Kicking order stays the same
• Should time run out, teams will play rock, paper, scissors (RPS)
• RPS - three players from each team face off against one another at the same time. Best of 3 rounds of RPS. If tied, sudden death rounds. 
• A game is considered a complete game after 3 full innings.  

Equipment: Winning grass field 1 and dirt field 1, please collect equipment from both grass and dirt fields respectively and bring the bag home (and back the following week)

 

FUN STUFF: Afterwards, let's eat some fried pickles at Azar's - either to celebrate that win, or wallow that loss. And coming up: our END OF SEASON PARTY! 

Save the Date: December 14th @ Lava Sports Lounge. Join us for our Merry Holiday EOS! Dress as an elf, wear an ugly sweater, Santa, Mr. Menorah Man? Have fun with it and check out the Facebook Event HERE

 

Have a happy Monday, Ballerz and I'll see y'all tonight!
