Hey Celebs! The regular season is now finished and we officially have our Social and regular season field champs. Congratulations to On Sundays We Wear Pink for running away with the most drunkiest (ahem, social) points in the most drunkiest (ahem, most social) league in SoCal! You guys fought for it and earned it. Also congratulations to Dumbledore's Army (shameless self plug) for finishing the regular season and earning the top seed. BUT, that means nothing as the shadow of playoffs loom over us. Who will reign supreme? Who will upset the current standings? Who cares? This is Celebrity! Let's have a good time!
The playoff bracket is up and running and can be seen on the league page HERE by clicking the "Wacky Championship Series" tab under Playoffs on the right. You may have to scroll down a little. The time slots and field placements are available by going to "View Schedule."
We are going to be dedicated time slots on week 10 for a separate Bowl so that everyone can still play 10 weeks of kickball (you paid for it after all!) regardless of the results of week 9! We have the field until 7pm so we're going to take advantage and get you going. The first round of that will happen 4pm on July 17th. 5pm will be the Championship game that same day. 6pm will be the consolation championship game (working title)! Then off to the bar one more time before our EOS and the Bon Voyage Regional EOS!
Regarding playoffs:
We will be doing
wacky rules for each round of playoff games. Each round can have
different rules, but every game in that round will use the same rules.
There are no intentional walks during playoffs as well for Celebrity.
Take that kind of strategizing to Founders Cup. Lastly, NO "hard pitching." It's something I haven't seen all season and AGAIN, this is Celebrity, not Hollywood or Studio! We're sticking to the two-pitch rule so it wouldn't make
any sense anyway!
Rules for the playoff's will be decided week of. Just like the regular season Week 9 there will be NO BUNTING, Week 10 there will be bunting allowed! Any questions feel free to contact me and we will clarify everything before next week Sunday.
For the Consolation bracket (working title) it'll be no holds barred whatever you guys want! Make it fun, make up new rules! Have multiple rules at once. Whatever!!!
DON'T FORGET it's 4th of July weekend so playoffs will not start until the following week. If you show up to the fields you will be sadly wasting a perfectly good Sunday Funday alone! ;)
Have a wonderful weekend and talk to you all soon!

Last week of the regular season! WEEK 8!
Welcome to the last and final week of the regular season! Who will make it to the playoffs? (Hint: Everyone). Who will topple the Social leaders of the Pink team? Can anyone do it?! We'll find out THIS SUNDAY.
This week's rule is: Rabbit in a Hat - Teams must choose the kicking order using a deck of cards. Aces first, 2's last. (Spades(highest), hearts, diamonds, clubs(lowest)). ***Or get bring a sheet of paper and tear them to pieces with numbers in each piece. Draw them out of a hat and write down your kicking order.*** Point is, RANDOM LINE UPS, no stacking this week (sorry hardcore kickballers!). ;)
Don't forget this week is THEME WEEK and the social challenge is Lip Sync Battle. Will people take advantage and combine the two to attach costume to performance? Or will some teams change it up and go off the wall? I can't wait to see the creative magic happen!
Again, playoffs are around the corner so remember last week's blog/email. It's all about the bragging rights so bring your fun B-list celebrity game! We will be planning to do a "Celebrity Bowl" Week 10 for any teams that don't make it through the first round. You paid for 10 weeks, and I want you to have it! Plus it's one more week to party with the entire league, #AMiRIGHT?
Alright! Cheers and See you Sunday! Any questions feel free to hit up EDWIN in the Facebook or via email.

Week 7!
Hey everyone! We're 6 weeks out going into Week 7 and playoffs are right around the corner. Let's start off with this weeks rule:
Golden Ball - 6 outs per inning. A legal catch records 2 outs instead of 1. No bunting allowed.
Pretty simple so let's see those pop flies and all those clutch catches!
Regarding playoffs I just wanted to clarify some things. Maybe they don't need it, but allow me a serious blog moment just in case: We will be doing wacky rules for each round of playoff games. Each round can have different rules, but every game in that round will use the same rules. There are no intentional walks during playoffs as well for Celebrity. Take that kind of strategizing to Founders Cup. Lastly, please refrain from "hard pitching." It's something I haven't seen all season but you never know! We're sticking to the two-pitch rule so it wouldn't make any sense anyway!
Ok! That being said, get ready for a great end of the year! Hopefully Father's Day won't kill too many of us this week... I know how much many of us love our daddy's!
Cheers and see you Sunday!
Field Standings It's all good and dandy but once playoffs happen, this will only be a minor footnote!
Social Standings It's getting down to the wire! Can someone take down the Pink!?

Celebrity Kickball is back from hiatus!
Welcome back to Sunday Funday kickball! Between memorial day bbq's, camping, and parties AND WAKA Summer camp, I'm sure your livers have all received plenty of exercise! That's what Celebrity is all about so good for you all who survived. Hopefully your Celebrity training did you well. If those snapchats and facebook posts I've been seeing are any indicator, some debaucherous good times were had.
That being said, we have the rule of the week, voted on by our illustrious captains, and this is what was decided:
Backwards base running - 3rd base is now 1st base, 2nd base is still 2nd base, and 1st base is third base. All runners must run clockwise around the bases. If a runner runs counter-clockwise to start, they must run back to home plate before they can advance back the correct way. BUNTING IS ALLOWED
You'd be surprised how often people mess up on this rule. It is divine in its entertainment.
As per usual here are the current standings. Will Kickers of The Year bring down the last undefeated team?! Don't count them out, they can be quite sneaky those Kickers. :)
And finally, HERE are our social standings. It's still anybody's game with 3 weeks left. Who will REIGN SUPREME as Celebrity's newest Social gods!? This is the true embodiment of Celebrity kickball. What you do at the bar is what matters the most! So get thirsty and get out there!
This week's Equipment and Ref Duties:
Equipment to the field: On Sundays We Wear Pink
Taking it home: Balls Deepest
Ref duties:
4pm:
