Welcome to Week 3 everyone! This week's wacky rule:
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!
Normally this week would be pitch to own team but because we are tee'ing up, no need! Also, if the rule itself didn't already say so, this is an odd week so NO BUNTING!
This week is our NFL THEME WEEK. What that means? That means Jersey's, costumes, mascots, cheerleaders, you name it. If it's NFL related it counts! Direct quote from our Social Chairs:
"WEEK 3 / THEME WEEK! - NFL. What does NFL mean to you? Wear your
favorite NFL jersey, dress as an umpire, a cheerleader - the choice is
yours. Take a team photo in all your NFL glory and post the picture to
the league Facebook group by 5PM on Monday with the hashtags #NFL and #yourteamname. All photos will be voted on by WAKA staff and winners will be announced shortly after."
All participating teams will get 1 social point. Top 2 teams will get 3 bonus points voted on by our unbiased staff! So be creative, photoshop if you must.
Also, the rest of the t-shirts arrived, so you guys will all be beautiful and uniformed at the same time for Week 4!
Thanks and see you Sunday!

Week 2
Welcome to another season of kickball! We started Week 1 without a hitch, and now that we're getting into our groove, all sorts of craziness can commence! Let's start with this weeks Wacky Rule, as voted by your prestigious Captains:
Gambling - If the runner makes it safely to the base they possess the option to “gamble” by playing RPS (one round) against the fielder at the respective base. If the runner wins, they may advance to the next base. If the runner loses, they are out. The runner may choose to “gamble” until a score is recorded or the runner is out.
This week will be normal pitching and bunting IS allowed. Two-pitch rule stands.
Remember that next week will be our NFL theme week. Start preparing now. That means Jersey's, costumes, mascots, cheerleaders, you name it. If it's NFL related it counts! Until then, let's enjoy a normal week with our T-shirts which HAVE ARRIVED and are accounted for! As I announced earlier there are only a few people who won't get those shirts (due to late registration), but your shirts will be in by Week 3!
Thanks again for your patience regarding the bar games. There are 3 leagues up there at the same time (soon to be 2 once flag football playoffs are over) and it might be difficult to get your revenge matches in, but Courtney and Jasmine are doing their best to coordinate the dodgeball and Kickball games. They're doing a great job and VOLUNTEERING so please show them some love.
Otherwise, keep on keeping on. Have a great rest of the week and See you for Sunday Funday!

WEEK 1 SOCIAL
JASMINE MCATEE:
Welcome to Celebrity, y'all! I along with Courtney Cohen will be your social chairs for this season. If you have any questions about the social schedule, which will be released for the season next week with the standings chart, feel free to ask us at any time. Challenges start after both the 6pm & 7pm games have completed, so about 8:30pm.
Here are your social challenges for Week 1:
WEEK 1 / SOCIAL CHALLENGE - 21 Beer Pong. Four people from each team will participate - 2 guys, 2 girls. Two people are the shooters, two people are the retrievers. There will be 21 cups stacked at the end of a table. Shooters will be provided two ping pong balls. If a ball lands in a cup, the retriever must drink the cup before the shooter can shoot again. Two re-racks allowed. Players can only switch sides during a re-rack. Timer does not stop for re-racks. You have **3 minutes** to knock out as many cups as possible. Two balls in one cup only counts for one cup. Team to knock out all 21 cups the quickest - or, in the event that no team knocks out all 21, team with the fewest cups remaining at the end of 3 minutes - wins. First place receives 4 points, 2nd place gets 3 points, 3rd place gets 2 points, and all other participating teams get 1 point. Teams are responsible for supplying their own beer for this challenge.
REVENGE MATCH - This challenge is all season long. The losing team from your field match up challenges the winner to a revenge match of their choice. It can be flip cup, beer pong, 21, Civil War, doesn't matter. Winner of revenge match gets 1 social point.
See you this Sunday!
FALL SCHEDULE IS UP!
Alright, after some grueling task taking the schedule is finally out! I tried to be as accommodating to the dodgeballers playing on the same day so hopefully this helps at least some of you:
It's still not too late to sign up and pad your teams with bodies for those days when friends are on vacation and such so keep on registering as it will be closed after week 1 THIS SUNDAY!
Congratulations to SITH HAPPENS for reaching team status second. You guys have earned 2 pitchers of beer for your first week of indulgence!
T-shirts are being ordered now so Week 1 you'll have to wear your team colors out of your own wardrobe. Sorry for the inconvenience but because the season came so quickly many of us were teamed last minute. Teams are as follows: Sith Happens (Charcoal Grey), Pitches Be Crazy (Purple), Dumbledore's Army (White), Balls Deep (Cardinal Red), Ball of Duty (Black), and The PINK Bambino (Pink).
Jasmine McAtee and Courtney Cohen will be announcing this week's social challenge soon so you can prepare yourselves for the skill and talent needed to succeed and build your way to becoming this seasons SOCIAL CHAMPIONS! In my opinion, the crown of Celebrity!
Cheers and see you SUNDAY!!! WOOOOO!

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:
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

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.
No intentional walks will be allowed either.
Alright kittens, thanks for reading and have a great rest of the week. See you Sunday!

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.
Schedule as of now.
Playoff Bracket as of now.
Cheers and See you Sunday!
