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:

Memorial Day Weekend

Hey everyone!  Last weekend was so much fun!  We had a great turnout for the mid-season AMAZING RACE!  So many teams participated and we all partied hard together.  Our inaugural Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament went off without a hitch, and drinks a-plenty were had by all!

Just a reminder that this week we won't be having any games for Memorial Day Weekend, so don't show up to the field unless you like open air and solitude!  Same goes for the following week due to WAKA Summer Camp!  Can't wait to hear the stories that come out of there THIS year.

In case you haven't been keeping track HERE are our current field standings.

And to see where we are with Social check it out in this spreadsheet.  We have a new leader and it's still anybody's game!

Cheers and enjoy your weekend!  See you in a few weeks!

Mid-Season Amazing Race and Week 5 Rules!

Hi guys!  Welcome to another blog.  If you haven't seen the results of our theme week and who the winners are, see the previous post.

We have a lot of fun things happening this weekend including our Mid-Season PARTY!
Happening THIS Saturday, May 21st.  Click the link for all the details!

This week's wacky rule is something I've never done before:

Tee Ball - The kickball is Teed up just behind home plate.  Kicker kicks the ball in place.  Standard foot placement applies.  Catcher and pitcher positions must still be manned.   No bunting! 

Shout out to Paul O'Neil for offering up that idea and to the captains for voting on it!

Can't wait to game with you guys, and as always, click HERE for the latest update in Social Standings.  It's anybody's game!  Who will win the social championship?!  Plenty of opportunities for points!

This Week's equipment duties:

On Sundays We Wear Pink

Ball About That Base

Check out the updated social standings via the page above! 

Hey guys!  We're 3 weeks in and off to a stellar season so far.  This week's rule has been decided:

Double Occupancy - Each base may be occupied by two runners.  The force play to the next base only counts when there are two runners on the prior plate before the next kick and there are two occupants on all the bases before.  The second runner/occupant may not pass the first runner or it is an automatic out.

Don't forget it's also theme week.  I can't wait to see what all the teams come up with.

Also don't forget next Saturday, May 21st, is our big MID-SEASON AMAZING RACE.  Make sure to RSVP and think about the team you're going to create. https://www.facebook.com/events/979261435476637/

***** Lastly, the Mid-Season Surveys are out.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do them.  It takes 5 minutes and it'll let us know what we need to do to improve the rest of your season.  THANKS!  *****

See you Sunday!

Here are the rules for Week 2:

Wacky Rule for Week 2!

Dodgeball - Any fielder 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 catch 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. Runners may not catch the ball after they have safely reached the base.

Bunting - This week bunting will be allowed.

Pitching - This week you will be pitching to your opponent, 2-pitch rule in full effect.

Can't wait to see y'all Sunday!
