at Tim's place. ~10 attending. Beer was drunk, pizza was eaten. :-)

 

SURVEY

A survey for summer league will be put together by Justin, who will

send it to Kelly to put on our web page using our own survey software.

This will continue to be a regular thing after every season. This one

will also include a question to women only about whether or not they'd

join a womens league if one were offered, possibly winter, possibly

other times. It will also ask players which teams they're on and

specific questions about spirit and their captains.

 

SUMMER LEAGUE END OF SEASON TOURNAMENT

TD- Brian Amer, helping Sean Holleran

 

The summer league tournament will consist of all summer league players.

Teams will be those from rec night, combined as necessary due to

attendance, and with Tuesday players (who aren't already on rec night

teams) distributed as pickups to the other teams. Everyone gets to

play, but we won't have the Tuesday night teams dominating the games.

 

Tim will verify the number of fields we have available- but it's

probably way more than we need. We expect about 150-200 people to

attend.

 

There will be 3 games that everyone plays in, with a possible 4th game

to determine the ultimate championship team for that day (though no

prizes or anything for that team). If the Tuesday night captains agree,

we might have the Tuesday night championship game at the end of the

tournament as well.

 

Sean will email all summer league players soon reminding them of the

tournament and the time and date (10am, Saturday August 16th), and

asking them to email their captains to let them know if they'll be able

to make it or not, so we can start forming/combining teams ahead of

time. Likely we will combine like colors as much as possible.

 

Tim will get Griff's shade tent (for $40, and he'll set it up too),

which we'll put possibly on the hill in the middle of the fields.

 

Beer will be obtained by Heather from the Michigan Brewing company, and

will be at the Island Park pavilion. Brian will make signs reminding

players that no beer is allowed on Fuller Fields, just at the pavilion.

Beer budget is about $400 and the plan is 16 cases (plan on 200 people

each drinking 2, on average). This beer will be a) good, and b) in

plastic jugs which we need since we can't bring a keg (park rules) we

don't want glass, and it's hard to get good beer in cans anyway.

 

Tim will bring Cups games supplies, and let people who want to play set

that up at their liesure.

 

Harry will take care of the food. We'll get Pringles, Oranges, Bananas,

Pickles, Oreos, and Hot Dogs & Buns, and a couple of bags of charcoal

and lighter fluid and spatulas and condiments- we provide hot dogs, if

people want to bring other grillables they're certainly welcome to.

Again we're planning on 150-200 people. Food budget is about $400.

 

Each team playing that day will pick one person who had the best spirit

on their team that day. These people will get a free disc or t-shirt,

as they choose.

 

We talked about the possibility of having an all-stars game (pick the

best players as above, have the game be featured at the end of the day

with spectators), and possibly a spirit players game, and possibly a

rookie game, but it was also agreed that people were more likely to

just go eat/drink instead, since the pavilion is away from the fields a

bit.

 

 

TUESDAY NIGHT COMPETITIVE LEAGUE

The last 3 games are playoff games to determine the league champions.

We will try to find prizes to hand out like the visors from last year

but not visors again. The budget is about $10/player, and I'm looking

into that, but I welcome suggestions. Anyone know where I could get

bandanas with stuff printed on them?

 

 

FALL LEAGUE

Registration: August 1st - 20th.

Captains meeting (Will's in charge of captains again): Tuesday August

26th, location TBD, but with free food & beer and you can get your free

captain's disc or t-shirt only at this meeting. We're trying to up the

captains meeting attendance this way. We also might try to find big

poofy captains hats to hand out.

Sundays, 2:30pm (i.e. 3), Sunday September 7th through Sunday November

16th.

Mon/Wed, 6pm, Wednedsay September 3rd through Wednesday October 22nd.

(you play both nights for the same team)

End of season party at Leopold's again on the 16th after the last game.

 

 

BEER ON THE FIELDS

Jim Berry will put together an email that the junta leadership (I

recommend Amer) will send out to captains of all nights reminding them

that beer on the fields could get us kicked off the fields permanently,

and it's not to be done. This comes up after one of the teams was

observed having boat races after one of the games. People should go to

Banfields, it's not worth risking summer league just to have beer on

the fields, as nice as beer on the fields would be.
