2013 Summer League - Update - 5barwarrior - 02-Jul-2013
Hello Foosers:
After much effort to recruit people we are still short the bodies required to run a league with 3 people teams. If we go to two person teams things end up like this (this is my best guess)
1) Casti and Jesse
2) Jon and Steve
3) Gid and Vern
4) Kevin and Jason
5) Frank and ? (Elli or someone?)
6) ?
We would ideally need to fill that last spot. Here is the list of other players still on the sidelines:
Manny, Merv, Chris A?
If we can't get that spot to fill, then I have a plan B that will encourage people to come out.
Chris

Hmm, sounds intriguing...what's plan B?
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - 5barwarrior - 02-Jul-2013
Let's see if we can't fix plan A first.
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - deliverance - 02-Jul-2013
I think Elli's away couple weeks in Germany coming up, don't count on her being on a team for more than 60% of the time
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - deliverance - 02-Jul-2013
Fix plan A how? We're starting league tomorrow. Might as well give as many people a heads up on what they're going to expect.

I'm showing up, as usual -- format being just a mean to sustain playing -- but that is not everybody

Working on the details now. It will be a points race with weekly prizes and a grand prize. There will be a final BYP as well.
Working out all the nitty gritty details to make it fair, fun, an easy for Vern to run.
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - deliverance - 02-Jul-2013
Will there be singles format in this as well?
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - 5000 Years Old Man - 02-Jul-2013
might also want it designed to encourage frequent if not total attendance... June was skinny
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - deliverance - 02-Jul-2013
That wouldn't be a bad idea, have it bracketed
Show up = measly points
Win round 1 = some points ...
more points.
etc
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - 5barwarrior - 02-Jul-2013
Sorry to tease everyone. I have it 3/4 typed up at work but had to leave.
Basically a round robin doubles (bonus singles depending on numbers). Or would you guys prefer a BYP?
Weekly winners
Points per win
Bonus points for playing with the same partner.
Prizes for most points earner.
Big ending BYP
The more you play the better chance you have a winning.
You don't have to play every week if you don't want.
$5/week.

So whats up?
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - 5barwarrior - 03-Jul-2013
Since it doesn't look good for an organized summer league we will be forced to activate emergency plan B. This will replace the summer league.
Summer Points Race
This summer OFA will be running our first points race. There will be weekly prizes as well as a grand prize at the end. Here is how it works.
Dates: July 3 through August 21 (8 weeks) Points Race. August 28 will be a grand event.
Time: Starts at 8:00.
Format: Weekly DYP.
Points: Winner = #teams + 1, 2nd = #teams -1, 3rd = #teams -2 ... until 0. Points are individual.
Cost: $5/week/Player - Free for women
Weekly prize: $20 for winners
Grand prizes: Remainder of entry fees go to the top three places.
Final DRAFT - Instead of buying you all food and beer, we'll throw the money into a DRAFT Your Partner. The player with the lowest points selects first and so on. There will be a formula to prevent usurpers from coming in for only the DRAFT and picking first. Also there might be a sliding scale to enter the event based on the number of weeks you played.
100 % payback.
This is the first time running this so I promiss not to get my feathers ruffled if you point out flaws in my proposal.
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - foosboss - 03-Jul-2013
I'm in. See you tonight.
RE: 2013 Summer League - Update - deliverance - 03-Jul-2013
So every night starts with a draft?
Nevermind saw the dyp part
