The Championship Game for the Rec Division will take place Sept 16th or Sept 23rd – We’re confirming resources and awaiting Rainouts and will confirm as soon as we get word. In the meantime, my worksheet is below to give you as much communication as possible!

Best of luck in the playoffs!

The Daytime Division has been split into 2 tiers for playoffs again this year. Just like in previous years, teams have their regular season games played, followed by all rescheduled games, followed by Playoffs, with any remaining games happening falling on the Year End Weekend of September 28th and 29th.

Scheduling variables include reserving diamonds 30 days in advance, having umps scheduled for at least 2 games, maximizing use of diamond reservations and back to back logistical doubleheaders, so teams may have bye weeks, or logistical doubleheaders. In a 3 game format with 5 or 7 teams, the #1 ranked team in the pool will play a 4th game, with the best 3 games counted towards the standings.

Format/Tiebreakers/Style and Standings will be included in the pic attached. The intention is to have stats/scheds updated in the pic by Wednesday every week. Winning and tying teams are expected to continue to report scores so please continue to do so within the 24 hour expectation of finishing your game as information is dependent on it!

Best of luck everyone!

Reminder to all Teams, Players, Spectators etc. There is No smoking, including vaping at any public sports field in Ontario. If you continue to do so, you could be fined and if need be the township/city etc. can require the league to suspend the team from any further play or risk losing the diamonds completely. That is the Cold hard facts folks. Let’s try to work together.

Good evening to everyone in the Barrie Slo-pitch Community. I have some very disturbing news to share. Something happened tonight at the Georgian College Diamonds that has left me sick to my stomach and very, very concerned about our society and all the young people that come to watch parents / guardians / aunts / uncles etc at our games. PLEASE. PLEASE Read and Be AWARE, it can happen to you too!

Names etc. are not being supplied so as not to create issues with the family, but this DID happen tonight:

At approximately 7:00pm tonight at the Georgian diamond a young man approached 2 children aged 5 and 4 touched them on the head and asked them their names and inquiring about personal things about them. One of the fathers DID (thank God) notice him and started up the path to see what was going on. At this point the young man bolted from the scene. YES NOTHING HAPPENED, but it could have, PLEASE be diligent regarding your children and always be aware of any possible threat to them. I just had my grand daughters over for supper and got this news a couple of hours later, I shutter at the thought of any harm coming to them or anyone else’s child. Let’s not let this affect our game and the camaraderie that surrounds our game, but just be diligent.

City police and College security have both been notified, hopefully video surveillance of the area will provide a lead.
