board meeting

[Paniky 69er]

hey you cant point fingers! i am not in you league! ha.....

It's a good thing. I heard they found a much better Social Director this season.

[Bacchus]

i heard his secret helper (who does all the work) is hot

Debatable.

[Bacchus]

yes what ever you say "always right"

speaking of social chair....if you want me to help this is the time to get moving

[Paniky 69er]

speaking of social chair....if you want me to help this is the time to get moving

I'm the boss. I make the decisions.

We just finalized our plans last night. Gotta get my budget from Kelly.

[Bacchus]

should be pretty good. actually really good. (i am only speaking from the past year of playing) so far the only party that was as low as MSP for shore this season was EOS for our winter league. we had all of how many teams? yea 5..... so trey you did SUCH a good job.

Yeah, you clearly haven't been playing kickball too long. That was about the biggest turnout I've ever seen at a MSP for Shore or Southside. Last year the Shore party had 20 people drinking off of three kegs until the Southside party crashed it after our two kegs got kicked at 10pm.

[xxxjboyxxx]

Well i guess we need to fix things....so this is what we need to start doing.....or propose to do. And just remember these are my thought, and are up for any suggestions....i like to play kickball.

Problem 1: Shirts.......Need to have a cut off date for teams to be fully registered so that all shirts are ordered in time before the 1st game.....and have a captains meeting before the 1st game and give them all the shirts. Once we have a league that is consistent in playing each season this problem will begin to slowly go away. Shoot....i don't even have everyone's shirt on my team for this season. The longer you exted the registration......the longer you don't get your shirt...it makes sense to me.

Problem 2: Not enough Balls....i totally agree....this league is so competitivie that we abuse balls....if they last for 2 games...it has served it's purpose...but to last for a season....no way. the quality of the balls are inferior to others. I've heard they are fixing that problem, but you play with the ball that they are using. We need to ordre more balls....and maybe we have to up the registration fee a feew dollars, so that each team can have 2 balls of their own at the beginning of the season, in addition to the game balls that are providided for the league....and also buy additional balls with the seasons budget....if we don't use them all then just roll them over to the following season.SURPLUS....let's start building a surplus of balls for this league. I love the competitive nature of this league...it's a dog eat dog world out their for us. I wouldn't be playing in the Shore Division if it wasn't. I can tell the weak teams are getting better, and the good teams are becoming ever greater.

Problem 3: Refs........i don't know.......you do what you can do....any suggestions?

Problem 4: Schedule before the season start.....i usually make the schedule each season, except for this one...i was away helping Texas with the Hurricane......the schedule is quick fix....if i have a cutoff date for registration....then the schedule is done with a few minutes....enter the team names and you're done.....easy.....but if somone is telling you that there might be one or two more teams to still sign-up till the day before the games start.....then i can't put out a schedule for everyone to evaluate......and i've done a really good job with the schedule this past couple of season....we have all gotten our money's worth. Every week you played a game or 2. And remeber that these decisions are not made by me...if they were we would be having these problems.....or maybe you will...who knows.

Problem 5: Sponsor Bar.......a bar is a bar is a bar.......i don't think it's a problem. I can think of better bars we can go to, but that again is my opinion. Baxsters has been our sponsor for the past couple years.....they've kinda built a relationship with us....it might not be the best, but again a bar is just a bar....the people who go there is what makes a bar anyway...and i wouldn't want to be there without any of my fellow kickballers.

Problem 6: Etiquette on the fields....respect others.....that's what it all comes down to.

yea and like the southside EOS for the spring that place was packed!!! haha behind every good social chair there is a even better woman

by the way the word "low" was cost wise.... smart guy

[Paniky 69er]

EOSP are always bigger than MSP.

[Bacchus]

msp last season @ time was good too. BUT the problem was 1/2 the people couldnt drink b/c they couldnt speak after winefest. thats why there was booze left and it seemed that it wasnt busy. haha you can agree w/ me there. if it wasnt such a shit show when people walked in it would have been different

It was about the same number of people...maybe a few less. But it was a baaaaad idea to have it after Wine Fest. Half the party was blackout drunk already.

haha half the party is a little high! it wasnt half! haha it was jsut the most obnoxious ones. most people just took a step back drank free beer and watched the show. i guess the shows name was "how to circle dance by the blue balls".

not that many people went to wine fest just one team. and it wasnt the REAL winefest. this weekend is the real one.

Agreed. Although there were about 15-20 people outside of Blue Balls that went to Wine Fest. I just hid on the far side of Time (away from the dance floor) so I didn't have to deal with the blackout drunks. Somehow all the non-BB drunks found me. It was not an enjoyable experience for me.

[Bacchus]

oh i know this. i remember! try not to experience the same thing this weekend if you go. b/c it will be worse! (was the the first msp you have not blacked out?)

back on topic

email me overall # people.... top 3 places to have it... of course budget

and i will give you all the credit

[Paniky 69er]

oh i know this. i remember! try not to experience the same thing this weekend if you go. b/c it will be worse! (was the the first msp you have not blacked out?)

Second.

I'm 50/50 on Wine Fest this year. It's supposed to be 60 degrees and rainy. That doesn't sound fun.

Lemme add some more of my thoughts.

Well i guess we need to fix things....so this is what we need to start doing.....or propose to do. And just remember these are my thought, and are up for any suggestions....i like to play kickball.

Problem 1: Shirts.......Need to have a cut off date for teams to be fully registered so that all shirts are ordered in time before the 1st game.....and have a captains meeting before the 1st game and give them all the shirts. Once we have a league that is consistent in playing each season this problem will begin to slowly go away. Shoot....i don't even have everyone's shirt on my team for this season. The longer you exted the registration......the longer you don't get your shirt...it makes sense to me. And teams need to hand out uniforms before games start incase there is a sizing shipping issue.

Problem 2: Not enough Balls....i totally agree....this league is so competitivie that we abuse balls....if they last for 2 games...it has served it's purpose...but to last for a season....no way. the quality of the balls are inferior to others. I've heard they are fixing that problem, but you play with the ball that they are using.

I love the competitive nature of this league...it's a dog eat dog world out their for us. I wouldn't be playing in the Shore Division if it wasn't. I can tell the weak teams are getting better, and the good teams are becoming ever greater.Balls should be provided by the league and kept in control by a representative at all times, and marked/spray painted to keep track of balls. Also Ball should be provided at games on game days, not distributed to each team, then you put responsibility on teams to keep bringing the ball. You just cant trust that to happen. What should happen is, i dunno who it is, to ask the city if they can supply a supply box at the field or either we can so as all supplies bases and all are there with access given to only a few individuals

Problem 3: Refs........i don't know.......you do what you can do....any suggestions? This is something that you cant control and everyone needs to be aware of that, these individuals dont get paid but are volunteering to help the league move along night by night, oh well they make bad calls, it keeps games competitive, heck baseball has been doing this for decades. Also CAPTAINS need to argue calls only, i really think that this has gotten out of hand over time.

Problem 4: Schedule before the season start.....i usually make the schedule each season, except for this one...i was away helping Texas with the Hurricane......the schedule is quick fix....if i have a cutoff date for registration....then the schedule is done with a few minutes....enter the team names and you're done.....easy.....but if somone is telling you that there might be one or two more teams to still sign-up till the day before the games start.....then i can't put out a schedule for everyone to evaluate......and i've done a really good job with the schedule this past couple of season....we have all gotten our money's worth. Every week you played a game or 2. And remeber that these decisions are not made by me...if they were we would be having these problems.....or maybe you will...who knows.IMO the schedule should be done way before the season is even being put together, yeah you might not know how many teams you have but way the options, put it in an excel spreadsheet, it can be done flawlessly in more than ample time.

Problem 5: Sponsor Bar.......a bar is a bar is a bar.......i don't think it's a problem. I can think of better bars we can go to, but that again is my opinion. Baxsters has been our sponsor for the past couple years.....they've kinda built a relationship with us....it might not be the best, but again a bar is just a bar....the people who go there is what makes a bar anyway...and i wouldn't want to be there without any of my fellow kickballers.As long as theyre supporting the league that all that matters, something is always better than nothing, especially nowadays

Problem 6: Etiquette on the fields....respect others.....that's what it all comes down to.I have experienced this on a personal level and i highly agree. Give encouragement out on the field towards the other teams, its the best classiest way to shit talk IMO. Plus people like hearing "hey nice kick!" or "dude sick pitch". I give as much encouragement as i can every game, people have heard me and i know they appreciate it.

The longer you exted the registration......the longer you don't get your shirt...it makes sense to me.

What should happen is, i dunno who it is, to ask the city if they can supply a supply box at the field or either we can so as all supplies bases and all are there with access given to only a few individuals A certain amount of balls are provided to the league...it's just that the amount they provide for the league does not last the enitre season....my team can tear up a ball within one game, so that can be a lot of balls for a season....i don't want to be playing with a oblong ball.....and i hope you don't either....what i propose is that we increase the sign-up fee to pay for extra balls......give 2 balls to each team...and that is theirs to keep use them during a game or practice with them....i see nothing with that....and then we order extra balls on top of the ones the league provide..and that will also be part of the leagues balls...if we have a surplus of them cool if we ran out.....then we know we need to order more balls.....i'd rather have more balls than no balls.......i think everyone can agree with me there.

Problem 3: Refs........i don't know.......you do what you can do....any suggestions?

The problem would be solved if we set a cutoff date for registration.....that is the only solution.

Problem 5: Sponsor Bar.......a bar is a bar is a bar.......i don't think it's a problem. I can think of better bars we can go to, but that again is my opinion.

Maybe we can get a group rate on the Mikasa balls because they seem to hold up better, and are cheaper?

I emailed Kelly about buying a lot of 20 Mikasa balls and selling them at the fields.

Sh1t, we can just get everyone to bring $1 next Thursday! That should cover it. Or at least get each team to donate $10-$15.

I got money on it!
