Playoffs and YOU!

Welcome to the return of playoffs!  Two more weeks of games and drinking before our own EOS gathering and the Regional Bon Voyage EOS party!  Again congratulations to On Sundays We Wear Pink for getting the most coveted title in Celebrity of Social Champs!

Hope everyone had a great Independence Day weekend with lots of fireworks and grilling followed by drinkies and possible debauchery!  That being said it's time to get to the meat of this blog post!  PLAYOFFS!

We all know the general guidelines but here are the highlights for this week:

We have a comeback rule this week -
Return of Dodgeball - Any fielders may safely throw the ball at a runner to tag them out per usual. However,  if the fielder attempts to peg the runner and the runner can safely catches the ball, the runner is safe at the intended base. The fielder who attempted to tag the runner must take the bench for the remainder of the inning and the defense plays down one player. When the ball is caught by a runner, the play ends. The runner must catch and maintain control of the ball, otherwise they are out. Balls may only be thrown at the runner for this rule to apply, and not kicked by the next kicker. Runners may not catch the ball after they have safely reached the base.

Also there is NO BUNTING this week as usual for odd weeks so teams will be pitching to themselves.  A bunt for our league purposes is "A full extension of the leg with the intended effect being to propel the ball forward at a fair and reasonable distance."  A bunt on any pitch will be considered a FOUL for the purposes of tracking pitches.   Normal TWO-PITCH rule applies.  Since it's self-pitch this week the second pitch MUST be put into play or it is an out.  No walks, no free bases.  Outside of that the bunting rule will be at the referee's discretion following the simple guidelines that have been set.  Any questions or concerns please email or Facebook me!

THIS SEASON WE WILL HAVE A NEW FUN GAMES BRACKET for those of you who don't make it to the championship round.  This will happen on week 10 (July 17th) @ 4pm-Semi's & 6pm-Final.  The Celebrity Championship will be @ 5pm  (July 17th).  I will attach a bracket so you have an idea of what it will look like.
