| First off, I want to extend a true "Thank you" to all managers and teams this year. The weather and rainouts have tested all of us from checking the fields to determine playability to rescheduling as many make ups as necessary with some teams playing 4 straight games.
It's been an incredibly "bad" year for weather. Weekday leagues dealt with this all season as well. Hopefully it's the extreme and not the new norm going forward. I honestly appreciate all the help you guys provide me each year.
Looking forward, next season I'm (and anyone that knows people/teams) looking to add more teams but I won't take "I'll get back to you" responses as late as I did, which almost all resulted in, not joining or fielding a team for the league. I will have a pretty firm "deadline date" in mind next season to leave me room for alternate plans in an effort of having more than a 6-7 team league.
I will be reach out to all teams that participated this year, to see if you are coming back. Probably in mid-January I will touch base.

PLAYOFF TOURNAMEN RESULTS
***************************************************
1 - Monstars
2 - Secrets
3 - Rebels
4 - Shafton Bombers
5/6 - Expendables/Moonlight
Monstars beat Rebels to advance to the championship games and had to, and did, beat Secrets 2 straight games, since Secrets undefeated at the time.
I'm beyond happy that the weather cooperated this weekend after all the heavy rains that fell during the weekday, that the fields were in way better shape than I would have anticipated. Some outfield spots on both fields had puddles and I apologize for those playing in those areas. I look and fix infield puddles, I NEVER expected puddles in the outfields. That was a first.
Well, thanks again and some of you I'll still see the next few months in Fall Ball, but to everyone I'll see and won't see, have a great off season, be healthy and safe.
Talk to you all later,
Lak
