Playoff Questions

We have gotten a few questions regarding playoffs. Specifically, why only one week with 1 vs. 2?

TL/DR: To put the top 4 teams in playoffs would have resulted in less playing time for ALL teams. The format for this season allowed maximum play throughout the entire season for all teams.

There were several things that played into this decision. Here they are (in no particular order):

• We went with divisions of 6 to avoid putting teams in a division where they did not belong (either up or down).
• To avoid multiple byes and/or position rounds we elected to go three times around for each division.  (in general the membership doesn't like position rounds and byes).
• Holidays at the end of the season - often the playoff finals are the week between the holidays, but it didn't work out this year.
• If we had a playoff of the top 4 teams the seasons would have to be lopsided in that you would not play all teams an equal number of times. This would have been a potential advantage for some teams and a disadvantage for others.
• To put the top 4 teams in playoffs would have resulted in less playing time for ALL teams - this allowed maximum play throughout the season for all teams involved.

Please address any further questions to your friendly neighborhood board member.

Hello everyone, it is getting to be that time of year again. Fall season signups and tournament are August 20th at Sunset Lanes.

• Team registrations and tournament entries start at 7pm.

• We can take team registrations as long as we are there.
• You can also mail–in forms and checks before the 20th.

A few additional things:

1. Please fill out as much info as you can for each team member on the registration form; we have encountered many out–of–date phone numbers and email addresses. You can download a copy of the form here to prepare it in advance.
2. We will be doing a complete review of the rule–book this fall so talk to your teams and let us know about concerns or clarifications.
3. We didn't host a picnic this summer due to low turnout in recent years. We have a survey about the picnic, please have everyone you know in the league submit a response — it is important to us to know how our players feel about this.
