Announcement
We were fortunate enough to find 3 more teams to give us 12 for our tournament. The format is 3 pools of 4 teams with a 3-game round-robin. The pool winners and the next best team advance to the "A" playoffs, the 5th through 8th best teams advance to the "B" playoffs.
The full schedule is online and a PDF is available in the Handouts section of the web site, or via this link: Tournament Schedule.
Tournament-specific rules are available in the League Rules section of the web site, or via this link: Tournament Rules.
Players
League teams are allowed to pick up extra players for the tournament. There are no restrictions on what position pick-up players play or where they hit in the batting order, although pitchers must be approved by the executive committee. Weekend roster size is unlimited, but normal league rules where everybody bats are in effect. Non league players must pay $20 prior to playing their first game and must play in at least one round-robin game to be eligible to play in the Sunday playoff games. If you're interested in playing in the tournament, send an email containing your fastball resume to captains (at) gcmfl (dot) com so that teams in need of players may get in touch with you.
Pub Night
Head to the Stittsville Broadway Bar & Grill after your game on Friday night for our league pub-night. Each team will receive a food & beverage voucher when they arrive at the pub, plus there will be a draw for a new Combat Virus Morphed bat valued at $300 once all of the games finish and the teams arrive at the pub.
Bocce Tournament
There will also be a sign-up sheet for anyone who wishes to enter a double-elimination outdoor bocce tournament, to be played Saturday and Sunday between ball games at the Carp Fairgrounds. Entry fee is $20 per two-person team, with the winner taking half of the proceeds and the other half going to the league. Anyone is free to sign up for the bocce tournament - league membership is not a requirement. Teams may sign up in advance by emailing eric (at) rosenquist (dot) com and providing the names of both players and phone numbers where the players can be reached during the tournament weekend.
