- Registration is ready to go.
- The forms are on line.
- We plan to start promoting the League soon to attract more members.
- The goal is to establishing a balanced 4 team league with hopes of expanding to a 5th team.
- Fees will be $200 per player. That is up from a subsidized amount of $140 last year. $200 / per player ($10 / game) is a break even number. The past few years the league has run a year end tournament resulting in reduced player fees. Out of a 60 player league we get 6-7 volunteers. AS SUCH the subsidy has been removed from player fees GOING FORWARD.
- The season will be 20 games plus playoffs.
- That is up from 15 games last year, plus playoffs.
- The Friday early game will start at 7:00 PM.
- Changed from 6:30 PM last year.
- The Friday late game will start at 9:00 PM.
- Changed from 8:45 PM last year.
- We will have a budget for advertising League registration. Budget to be determined.
- We will do our best to arrange having more Sundays off.
- This will mean some Sunday double headers as agreed at the AGM.
- THAT SAID, SUNDAY’S CAN’T BE DETERMINED TILL WE have 4 full teams, so get registered!
- In addition, a 5TH team will give us additional Sunday flexibility. Keeping in mind we must pay and protect the diamonds so PLEASE REGISTER. We have to apply for permits ASAP.
- Playoff format is changed to a best of 3 for both rounds.
- There is a facebook link on the website and here
- Please follow and like the page
- facebook will be used for updates and posting media as well as the webpage
