Week 3 is THEME WEEK!

It's theme week!  The theme is "SPACE!"  Dress up accordingly and take photos to be submitted to the board for voting.  3 teams with the best theme week photos will receive 3 social points.  Everyone who participates will receive one.  Photoshop IS allowed this week but you must also submit your regular photo along with it. 

How does voting work? Captains will vote on which team best portrayed the weekly theme. This should take into account both actual field presence and the final photo. The vote will be blind (anonymous) and only one vote per team will be allowed. If more than one captain from a team votes, the first vote will be the one counted. The votes will be tallied by a voting committee consisting of board members from 3 different teams to make sure everything remains fair.

Theme week also means DJ Chris Kim will be spinning at Happy Ending so bring your dancing shoes!  


This is an ODD numbered week which means: 
- Pitch to your own team
- Bunting is NOT allowed

This week's additional wacky rules is: 
Backwards base running. Third is first, first is third. Don't forget! Runners must run CLOCKWISE around the bases. If you run the wrong way you must come back through home plate to go the correct way. You cannot cut through the infield. 


See you guys on the field!

Week 2 info

Using your blog tabs ^^^ above

  • The schedule is finalized!  
  • The standings are updated as well. 
  • If you have lost or found anything, please email me at danielle@kickball.com so I can add it to the Lost & Found page. I will post pictures of anything I find at the field or bar. 
  • Take a moment to familiarize yourself with your board members. They help to determine rules, plan parties and do their best to make your experience as fun as possible. If you have suggestions, let them know!

RULES:
This week is an EVEN numbered week which means we play with Two Pitch and Bunting IS allowed!  

The additional rule is Dodgeball: If a fielder attempts to peg a runner and the runner catches it - the runner is safe and the fielder who threw it is out for the rest of that inning only. They cannot be replaced, fielders will go down a player. 

What is Two Pitch?
You get two pitches only.  This keeps the game moving quickly and everyone gets to kick more. The first pitch is kind of a freebie.  If you kick it into play it is a LIVE BALL.  If you foul it off or let it go by you (be it ball or strike) you get another pitch. The SECOND pitch counts no matter what.  
Foul = out
Ball = walk 
Strike = out
In play = game on
*Taking walks is not illegal but highly discouraged.  Let's put it into play guys!


Lastly, this week will be a GAME WEEK at the bar! We will have an additional game at the bar for prizes (not points). This will occur weeks 2, 5 and 8. Stay tuned for this week's info!

Week 1 Wacky Rules and Schedule

Check out the schedule for this Sunday.  Please do not worry about the rest of the dates. They are not set in stone and will need some adjusting. Those will be finalized next week. 


Rules: 
  • Pitch to your own team
  • No bunting: Swing for the fences, full extension of the leg, must at LEAST cross the encroachment line
  • Helping Hands:  All outfielders must hold hands before the ball is kicked. A minimum of 5 outfielders is required. If the outfielders break hands before the ball is kicked it will be treated as encroachment.

WEEK 10 RULES

This week our field points are worth TRIPLE (9 - win, 3 - tie, 0 - loss)!  
These match-ups are based on your field rankings. 1 will play 2, 3 plays 4, 15 v 16, etc. Because these will be more evenly matched games, they are likely to be close ones. Please make sure to be respectful of the refs and to each other. Only your captains should be speaking to the refs. 


RULES: 

Two pitch

Bunting IS allowed

Cha-Ching!! (Automatic One Base Bonus):  If the kick is a single, then the player is awarded 2nd base. If it’s a double than the runner goes to third. If it’s a triple the runner goes home for a home run! This only applies to the kicker, unless the previous kicker is forced to the next base, in that case - they will advance also. If you kick a home run you will score and can go back to first base. Again, this only applies to the kicker. So if the bases were loaded and the kicker kicks a home run, everyone scores and once the play is called dead only the kicker goes back onto base (first).
