We've discussed (at great, painful length) the debate between the pitcher's right to walk a kicker + saving the time it takes to throw 4 wacky pitches (what looks worse, pointing the kicker to first or an ace pitcher throwing a ball 30 feet to the side of home plate to his captain 4 times?) versus t...

I think the debate is not *whether* to modify the SOE modifier, but *how much*. With us adding more events, it is a legitimate concern to ensure we differentiate events where the competition is toughest and the numbers are largest. At the same time, we don't want to discourage teams from going to ne...

I *love* the field maps with the starting defensive lineups as well. Likewise with the signature zoom shot of close plays on the base. Outstanding work, Schoppe.

From the promo video, it looked like the ladies were playing with the 8.5" ball [giant RON] ... could be mistaken ... Not sure why it's offensive. Everyone loves chocolate. And when people were calling Jason Williams "white chocolate" it was all good. Curious to see the female charger...

Crap! Out of town that weekend or else I'd have been in and would get a group of the NYC kickball crowd to try to go down and see a house show. Keep us posted on gigs down the road ...

Alright - this discussion's not really going anywhere ... some salt is still simmering ... collateral complaints on both sides have been lodged with the executive team ... So -- folks need to take a powder. And figure this out elsewhere. And hopefully act at the next tournament like there are no har...

I get why they did that for circuit cup, because there is supposed to be an advantage at that tournament for lower seeds, and they tried to match the SOS distribution of the 5-team pools as best they could . Thank you, Bellman. You are finding a perspective where other people are finding a pillory....

Congrats to Admin and Meg on the long-awaited coming of Mini-Min. Can't wait to see the guy!

As well as process his kickball Wunderlich exam in 20 years and 362 days.

Someone tell Pat his Facebook has been hijacked.

(And to not to be so good at leaping to catch my line drives any more.)

*BUMP*

So which is it? Respect the 1 seed or balance the schedule? And the SOS should deviate from easiest/highest number at the top of the pool to hardest/lowest number at the bottom. In a normal 6-pool, 30-team setup, in an ideal world, the SOS *should* be: 1 plays 6, 15, 16, 25, 26 = 88 6 plays 1, 15, 1...

But you just said you wanted us to respect the 1 seed who has earned it the whole year. How is giving the 1 seed the exact same difficulty as a wild card (who hasn't cut their teeth on tour) doing that? Shane - In my method, there is no cake schedule really. The wildcard schedule is softer than in y...

Also, if you're passive-aggressively accusing me of putting LIU in a better position than NYSH, you have really not been paying attention to what kind of person I am at all these past 4 years. If you want to see the behind the scenes SOS permutations John, Admin, and I have been working on the past ...

Exactly, Jon. I'd like to hear Bryant's response to this question. We've done it so many different ways in 6 team pools. Should the Wild Card team have an easier schedule than the 4 teams in the middle? There's no perfect way. At least the other way you have the top 4 with the same SOS. Honestly the...

Can you explain why you think 69 is greater than 69? Because that's essentially what you're saying ... that the 2 and 3 seeds' SOS of 69 is greater than the 1 seed's SOS of 69. So wait, you want the WC and the 1 seed in each pool to have the exact same strength of schedule? Shane - This is ridiculou...

So wait, you want the WC and the 1 seed in each pool to have the exact same strength of schedule ? If you are complaining about 2 and 3 getting a "cake" schedule while the 1 seed suffers, then why should the wild card get a "cake" schedule that is the same as the 1 seed supposedl...

As of right now ... Team 1 - will play the #2, #3, #5, and #6 Seeds Team 2 - will play the #1, #4, #5, and #6 Seeds Team 3 - will play the #1, #4, #5, and #6 Seeds Team 4 - will play the #2, #3, #5, and #6 Seeds Team 5 - will play the #1, #2, #3, and #4 Seeds Team 6 (wildcard team) - will play the #...

sign me up.

Yup, what Scorekeeper said was correct. Perhaps one of the key mistakes about regionals was that there was no charge for them. As any Event Manager will tell you, there are significant (4-figure, potentially 5-figure) expenses incurred in throwing a regional. Admittedly, regionals existed in the era...

Agreed ... check out the snarky man-bunting comments on WAKA's FB page with OSC's photo. Glad some other folks had the good sense to respond thoughtfully.

Agree with Tyler and Wilson. Joe is a great pitcher and good leader. Plenty of athletic talent on the team (some of the freakish variety). A few solid girls too. Plenty of kicking legs. Not quite the bunting game needed to go really deep, and, as a result, the offense can sometimes run cold. Not ent...

Yes - WAKA has always done slotted seeding out of pools in the modern era (2008-present).

FC 2008 was the best on-field atmosphere of all the other FCs combined. FC 2009 was not too shabby either. FC 2007's after-party at Jillian's, though, is still my favorite.

Very much like the idea of yellow/red cards. I do believe the cards should accumulate (2 yellows over tourney = miss next match; cards don't reset) in some way.

I kicked myself after the fact that I did not ask Stevin if he wanted to ref despite being knocked out in a close game by the team who just beat him (in which I myself had already made a close call that did not go his way). Also, I am an even worse 1B ref than I am a home plate ref ... And I wish I ...

Three reasons that I can see. A) Some people are flaky. Nothing we can do about that. Yep. Average flake rate on refs is about 5-10% per tournament.

Second this, having seen him now at 3 tourneys up close and kicked in a lineup with him.
