Fun Games and Playoff Finale

Congratulations to On Sundays We Wear Pink and Ball of Duty on making it to the final round in the playoffs!  This will surely be a battle of the colors as the fate of the entire season sits on this final game.  WHO WILL BE VICTORIOUS?  Who will be left to wallow in shame...or in alcohol?  Who knows!

Before we talk about that lets get the fun stuff out of the way and save the boring stuff for those who need it later:

FUN GAMES TOURNAMENT!  You paid for 10 weeks of kickball and you're going to GET 10 weeks of kickball!  We have a separate bracket for all of us less fortunate souls who weren't able to make it to the final.  If you want to come out and have some fun and get your drink on then join us.  If you don't have enough people to form a team but some of you and your friends still want to come out, we'll create new teams and make up our own rules!  All for fun, like kickball is meant to be played!  These games will be at 4pm, and 6pm (possibly one at 5pm but I'd like to watch the finals game).

Here are the details on this final game:
Backwards base running redux - 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.  Pitching to the other team is happening.  In regards to pitching:  It was said before but I'll say it again just as a friendly reminder:
No "hard pitching."   Guidelines for how these will be treated by referee's:

1) On first "hard pitch" called by head ump it will be called a no-pitch.  Giving the pitcher AND the kicker another attempt at the ball.  Since its 2 pitch if it happens on the first kick they get to start over with 2 fresh pitches.  If it's the 2nd it's just a repeat of the 2nd pitch. First time comes with a warning and the aforementioned solution.

2)  If the pitching continues with "hard pitching" then treat it like a "ball" on the first attempt and a walk on the next attempt after that.

3) "Nominal pitches" are straight forward "bowling" rolls that move towards the plate at a fair & moderate pace.  No speed balls, and no overhead bouncy balls.
 No intentional walks will be allowed either.




Alright kittens, thanks for reading and have a great rest of the week.  See you Sunday!

Cheers
