The Season is now over
Thankfully the weather held yesterday and both finals were completed in some very windy conditions. In the B Division, Slye Fox knocked off BFG 2-0 with a 29-23 win. Congratulations to the Foxes for both the regular season pennant and B championship
In the A Division, Boston Pizza once again put up a big number in the 8th and held on for a one run win to beat Gator Ted's Blues 2-0. Bob, you may want to market some of those "We beat the Blues" t-shirts. Congratulations to the Boston Pizza squad for a well deserved championship victory
The Fall meeting will take place in the later part of October - stay tuned for timing.
Cheers

2009 Playoffs
August 11, 2009
Here is a reminder of the format for the playoffs
Teams will play each team from their division once in the round robin playoff.
The team with the higher regular season standing will be the home team (throughout the playoffs (except game 2 in the finals).
In the round robin portion of the playoffs, the home team has the option to relinquish homefield advantage, however they are still required to put out the bases, supply balls, etc.
The maximum run differential in the round robin portion of the playoffs will be +/- 9 runs.
The top four teams from each Division's round robin will go on to the Semi Finals for their division (remaining teams will be ranked by regular season standings, 1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3)
All semi final series are two out of three game series.
Winning teams in the semi finals go to a 2 out of 3 game final.
Playoff Tie breaking process - as voted on at Spring league meeting - If 2 teams are tied in playoff points, head-to-head results will determine winner. If there is a 3-team tie, if one team won both games against tied teams, that team advances. Next tie breaker is run differential in all playoff round robin games finally, total runs will be used to break any remaining ties
Scores should be reported to Ken and myself.
I will get teams new balls for playoffs - please identify how many you need for first round
We are using unlit diamonds for two weeks - the week of the 17th and 24th. These diamonds are Maple, Brant B and Millcroft A.
Day light may become a factor - ensure you hustle in and out, start game no later than 6:30, minimize delays during game by having man on deck, pinch runner ready to go if required, minimize throwing ball around after outs, between innings etc.
The week of 8/31 we stop using unlit diamonds for the remainder of the playoffs
Please ensure your teammates know the format and respect the umpires and opposing teams.
Enjoy the playoffs

Process to follow when lights do not come on
May 5, 2009
Last night we had an unfortunate incident at Sherwood as the lights did not come on.
The City changed the number that team reps should call and had not provided us the new number.
If this happens again, please call 905-637-8253 and ask for someone to come and turn on the lights.
Please note that in September we pay for the lights coming on at 7:30 - so if they don't, call 905-637-8253 and ask for them to be turned on

Grandfathered Bats Banned - 2008
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, — The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA), the National Governing Body of Softball in the United States, today announced that under a resolution adopted by the ASA Board of Directors, bats submitted by manufacturers that were previously allowed a 2 mph variance in the ASA’s test standards are no longer authorized for use in ASA Championship Play effective January 1, 2008.
Commonly referred to by players and coaches as “grandfathered” bats, these bats were allowed a 2 mph testing variance under the terms of an agreement the bat manufacturers and ASA negotiated in the fall of 2003. These terms will no longer be in effect on January 1, 2008 thus making these bats illegal for use in ASA Championship Play.
According to the list provided to ASA under the terms of the agreement with each manufacturer, the following bats will be placed on the non approved list on January 1, 2008
