For NY'ers. Just found a $104 flight home from FLL that leaves at 8:30 AM Sunday morning. I don't know how long it will be there. It's on Delta non-stop to LGA.

Good luck.

Flades, You are probably right. That's why I didn't argue. The call on the field would have stood in an instant replay because there was no irrefutable evidence it definitely was a catch or wasn't. Where I had contact with the ball didn't change while it hit the ground... I probably would have said ...

Hey Flades and Ad-rock, I honestly have no idea what your viewpoints were on that catch. I honestly don't even know what the ruling is on this and whether it should have been called a catch or not. I didn't argue it. Here's what happened. My hands got to the side of the ball and I had control of it,...

Guys, Any unnamed team has to play a named and ranked team in order to receive a ranking itself. We can debate about how that is set up, how many games you have to play to receive a ranking, etc.. The best thing is, say there is an all-star team that gets ranked ahead of everyone... They are then su...

Trey, I think more than anything (except possibly initial ranking) my system takes subjectivity out of the equation. You want the teams to battle it out. They do. My system is a long term ranking system. I think my terms are the least subjective of all. It is the most formulaic, most equalized. I ge...

Jellydogg, In my system a ranked team will not get or lose points for playing any team either unranked, or (as of now) any team ranked lower by more than 150 points. Any unranked team simply uses the game as a calibration to get ranked. If you want we can put a cap on amount of points you can earn o...

Yea, the actual game run differential. That part is actually a little tricky because it depends which team you are using to add the calculated run differential. We would have to set up a standard so that the calculations worked all the time, but that would be no problem.

Simpler Formula: ANY TWO TEAMS WITH RANKINGS (R1) and (R2) Difference in rankings(RKD) = (R1- R2) Calculated run differential(RD) = .04 *(RKD) Game run differential [(GD) + RD]/10 = Multiplier(M) M * RKD = Change in Ranking Scored (CRK) New Rankings R1new = R1 + CRK R2new = R2 - CRK For those of you...

I honestly think the best way to avoid all the mess of how should a finals game be weighted more heavily, or should pool play games count is to come up with a different system based on the two teams playing each other. We can make a system like chess or ping pong does (yeah I played both) where your...

Time for my once or twice after a tournament chime in. To reply to this thread. Thanks for those of you who thought I played well. Here were my thoughts ( I only saw people play in the games I played against them) 1. Best pitcher - Partially screwed 2. Best charger - I have no freakin clue, I think ...

Why does my name keep getting thrown around? I have never even been an MVP of any league. You should be saying we don't have the guy who pitches on Chipwich, or some other person who has actually accomplished something in any league. But thanks for the shout outs. Also, rumor is there is a newbie wh...

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. Someone who never gets mentioned from our team though is Jared. I don't think I would be in consideration for "best monster/charger" if Jared wasn't a great catcher. I think we both pretty much know where our range is, and a lot of chargers try to tak...

I'm gonna follow Karl in a completely different imho... I don't believe that this is tolerable at any level in sports, but especially in the fantastic, somewhat childish, innocent (well on the field) game of kickball. I don't think you can set the precedent of allowing any player in your league to b...

Frosty Balls was in a completely different predicament. Lasalle, being the local celebrity that he is, was able to secure quite a bit of sponsorship money for Frosty Balls. Frosty Balls also had an open invitation to everyone on their extremely large roster. They brought 19 players, and 19 players ...

So just read the 10 pages of stuff. I find this stuff pretty interesting. Here are things I'm wondering... Florida and Virginia, when you play in your regional leagues, do you play with only the people that you travel to tournaments with, or are there a few/many others that also come to the games an...

Those are definitely my signature shorts... and this is also the second time that people have filmed video of me, and NOT sent it to me. Hello I would love to watch myself run all day. My email is rsajac@gmail.com. If you have videos that you're secretly hording because you love me, think that I'm g...

Thanks Ad Rock. As happy as summer time drinking with the kickball crew has made me as noticed in the pictures, when the leaves start a-changing, Mr. Sajac unfortunately cannot have a hangover because then his 10th grade students know that he went crazy the night before and also my day sucks a lot. ...

Somebody always ends up going for my kneecaps. It was bound to happen sooner or later. That's why I've been disappearing so often lately, makes it harder to track my movement.

I think at least my first post in this thread should count as a 3 or a 4-post-er. I spent a long time crafting that eloquent response.

Ninja, Good point about the less than 16 fields. I did assume that we would have that many. As to the seeding, You are right, it is not completely random, but it almost may as well be based on the system they are using. Take Hey Whoa, we played in a nice division got ourselves zero runs against and ...

In my opinion it would really be terrible if only one team made it out of each pool. With the seeding determined without any indication of SoS (as Shane indicated) teams are thrown in random pools. If you are one of the top 16 teams, you have a 33% chance of being in a pool with another top 16 team ...

I think any of the teams that made it to the semi's could have won that tourney. To say that any team in those semi's (or finals) beat another because they are far superior is crazy. If any of those teams runs a perfect offense, they score about 5 runs. Kudos to the third baseman on both Crazy Kicke...

Hey All, I just wanted to say that in my measly two seasons of kickball I watched the level of play increase an incredible amount between the spring and fall. The competitive spirit keeps growing, and it is amazing to be on top of a division of people that continue to think they are going to take us...
