Just called La Quinta to setup my room and was told that all rooms at the LSKO rate are booked and the rate is double what the LSKO rate is for a room. Any alternate hotels that people are staying at?

After NOLA, I have been extremely burnt out with kickball and I know a lot of that has to do with being the coach of a competitive team. It’s very difficult to keep 15-20 grown men/women happy. I have decided that I want, for the first time, to be able to show up with my cleats and just play. Not w...

I just have one quick question about the Established Teams part. Does "played in a Circuit event" only pertain to a 2013 event or would that count for a team that played in any Circuit event from 2011 or 2012?

Done & done

Who won? Most Valuable Player - Male - Holland Most Valuable Player - Female - Amy Best Rookie Team - Breakthrough Team - don't remember, but Cobra Kai got one of these. Best Social Team - Whiskey Richard (which I learned why very quickly) Most Impressive Win - Foot Snipers over Meatballs Best Team...

Agreed.

Although, I will also note that the MUSA strike zone horizontally is the plate and height is below the knee. So, yes the pitchers have that foul = strike advantage, but the strike zone is obvious and horizontally a foot smaller than the Circuit.

I'm sure all the pitchers out there are in favor of this... I am not. There's no need for this kind of a change We've had a few folks request that we "extend" the games. Given time is always a factor with field permits, this would work towards that goal. MUSA folks chime in.... don't you ...

I feel like there needs to be a debate here with binders of Circuit Teams. I'm with Dorsey on this. That way the committee has the power of distributing ranking to the best of their ability, but not the power to decide exactly which teams are going to end up in each pool. And it totally makes for go...

Oh, so they're making the kickball episode the season premiere? It was a "lost episode" from the previous season because they wanted to start that show "Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23" a week earlier than originally expected.

I'll get you a quill and an ink pot.

Okay, so this happened in 2 of my games in different leagues here over the past week and I was wondering how other leagues call this play. There is a runner on 1st base and a player is up to kick. The ball is kicked in the air and it hits the runner on first in fair territory, but the runner never m...

D ... D ... D! ... We're gonna have a good time over on those fields. 3 tournament winners and 2 up-and-comers should make for some epic pool play. My excitement level for NOLA just went up 10 fold. We're either going to be beat the crap out of each other or prep whoever gets out alive for deep run...

http://twitter.com/FoundersCup has some pretty swift updates on games and scores. Or follow the #WAKAFC hashtag.

I'm in for Indy (if it happens)

I think a UEFA Champions League style draw on First2Third would be awesome. Obviously a snake draw would put us (Superdudes) into the pool of death, but we could still get a pool of death the UCL way. What I mean is that if we have 6 pools of 5 teams, you put the top 6 teams into a hat to draw out t...

My favorite part is when he tries to high five the ref afterward.

I love how our wild card spot got us a #19 seed last year and a tournament win gets us a #19 seed this year.

#1 It looks like RBI Baseball and I love that.

#2 Leage in the final graphic? If you're going to do it, do it right.

despite being demolished by WR, 7a defeated 7b and were the only team to give The Superdudes a game on the day. should be worth something. Agreed. The Elite 8 game with SD looked valiant, especially considering their other scores. Great effort. Thanks man. Was that live streamed? If it was, I hope ...

Now that I'm home settled and trying to acclimate to the fact that our high temperature for the next week doesn't even get up to the overnight lows in Phoenix, I'd like to take a moment and thank everybody that put on this tournament. It was a very well-run tournament on and off the field and everyb...

His name is Jared, not Pat. Not sure where that started, but you probably won't forget after the next First2Third podcast. lol It was pretty impressive in the grainy video as I was standing there in the white hat. He was talking about it and he literally had to slow his rotation mid-air in order to...

I'll be too busy going Gangnam Style to talk. Good luck.

I like your style and enjoy that beer. I had a cold tapper of it tonight at the casino.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qhqHwNHpgw The sun was in the worst possible place at the time so the video gets bleached out a bit, but here is another angle.

The added value items, such as free lunch and a tent for every team, were excellent perks as well. I imagine the out of town teams that flew in especially liked the tents, since they couldn't bring their own. Also, though there were some inexperienced refs, I thought they adjusted well and were gen...

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who learned that mosquitos suck. Ugh... those mosquitoes after the final were wicked. I felt like I was walking through a sea of them trying to get to the street for a cab. Also, during the day it felt like The Hunger Games where you either suffered the heat of ...

We had some issues with the home plate ref on Field 3 in the elims with missing the number of bounces. The refs on Field 1 seemed a bit too laid back and missed an obvious foul ball (3 to 4 feet foul) that turned into a homerun for us. The ref on Field 2 was a very good guy. I did randomly hear over...

You can use this for the Superdudes logo (img tags don't seem to be working again): https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos- ... 2395_n.jpg

Slightly odd request, but any good Packer bars around the hotel?

They happen to be playing that JV team known as the Bears on Thursday night and a pretty big group of us are getting in around noon on Thursday.

Summerfest or the state fair (cheese curds and creme puffs ftw) Sold. Where do I sign? I'd love to have a Circuit event in Milwaukee, but I don't think it's viable. We'd have to pull in a lot of teams from out of state for it. Superdudes' Circuit squad is essentially an "all-stars of MUSA"...

Superdudes: (2011) 1) W vs. Sofa King 2) W vs. Lock It Up 3) W vs. Whiskey Richard *I don't know the scores or PP/KO's PP 2-0 vs. Sofa King - Our 1st game of circuit play and we did not face SKG's #1 pitcher due to them resting him from playing FC the day prior.

If there had been any Circuit tournaments within a 9hr driving radius, we would have gone to all of them (St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, Milwaukee, etc.) You guys are in LA and KBBC, BOTW, SDKO, and AKO are all within a 6hr driving radius of LA. It's a matter of convenience that we haven...

The superdudes thing is questionable. They beat our team and liu and had a hell of a circuit cup, I cant deny, nor want to take anything away from that performance by any means. That said, it's September of 2012, looking at an event from october of 2011 after WR and STTB and Sofa and DA have been t...

Chicago???????????????? Exactly. I'm surprised there is nothing slated for the Midwest. I know that Chicago has issues with permits and inconvenient field locations, but something in the Midwest would be encouraging. If I knew how to run a tournament and had the field connections, I would be all ov...

With 13 teams, I'd assume that the pools would be 4/4/5 with a crossover game between the 2 pools of 4.

Does it have to be 128x128 or can it be larger?

#1 I'll see what I can do about smuggling some Spotted Cow in a hard-case luggage bag or bubble taping the crap out it. #2 Yes, we (Superdudes) are going slightly lighter than Vegas. We're missing the 2 chargers we took to Vegas for CCC, but we did add another pitcher and the rest of the team is unc...

Most of the Superdudes team from Vegas will be making the trip to AZ with a couple of additions/replacements. Work commitments and such.

And no question mark next to WI is needed. We're all WI except for 2 Minnesotans.

What are the MUSA rules again? At least major differences between them and Circuit rules. Here's a link to the MUSA rules page: http://musasports.com/milwaukee/kickball/rules/ Major differences would be: #1 Pitching - We don't play open pitch.
