Clarification on Reffing for Tournament

It has come to my attention that the information about reffing in my prior post was misleading and probably inaccurate.  Please use the below information in regards to when and where your team must provide refs.  This info trumps all prior info. Sorry for the confussion – Nick

Assignments:

Games scheduled for 5pm will be reffed by the teams scheduled to play on the same field at 6:30.

Games scheduled for 6:30pm will be reffed the winners of the previous game on that field.

Games scheduled for 8pm at YSC will be reffed by the winners of the previous game on that field.  Games scheduled for 8pm at Holcolm will be reffed by members of the loser of slowride/brew ballers who will be joined by refs from losing teams in the 630 games ASAP.

Games scheduled for 930pm will be reffed by refs from both teams from the previous game on that field.

Important Tournament Information

What an incredible year it has been and I am sure that the Championship Tournament shall follow in the same fashion.  I would like to thank everyone for making this year run so smoothly and I would also like to thank everyone in advance for helping make this tournament run smoothly.  Until the tournament bracket can be posted on the website, you may download a copy here : http://nicholaslerner.com/Kickball/2010KVKLTournamentBracket.pdf.  *2nd Round game times (First Round of the less awesome bracket) are subject to change (maybe 30 mintures or so).  Player eligibility sheets will shortly be posted too.  Please double check the player eligibility sheets to ensure that you are playing with a legitimate roster in the tournament.  Last year, a team was disqualified for not playing a legit roster.

I cannot stress enough the need for all games to start on time and move in a quick manner.  The Commission has removed the 10 minute grace period allotted in the rules, so show up early, get your rosters filled out and be ready to start the game ON TIME (Hey Candlepants and Rangelife: Yes I’m talking to you)! The lights will be set up on timers and, if we don’t finish on time, that’s it, lights out.

Also, please remember to pick up after yourself, your team’s groupies, or anything else that you see left behind.  It is imperative that we leave these fields in better condition than they were in.

Assignments:

1)Winners of the 5PM first round games will be responsible for providing two refs for the 9:30 second round  game being played on the same field as their own second round game.

2)Winners of the 6:30 first round games will be responsible for providing two refs for the 8:00 second round game being played on the same field as their own second round game.

3)Losers of the 5PM first round games will need to move quickly to Holcolm to start play on the “Less Awesome” Bracket immediately.  Most likely, these games times will be changed to 7:00 instead of the 8:00 time posted on the bracket.  Refs for these games are going to be sparse and teams are encouraged to start their game on time regardless of how many refs are present and refs will be added as they become available.  Losers of the 5PM games are responsible for providing two refs for the (currently scheduled) 9:30 game on the same field as their own “Less Awesome” Bracket game.

4)Losers of the  6:30 first round games will need to send at least two refs to Holcolm immediately upon the conclusion of their first round game to go to Holcolm and ref games that will already be started.  Refs shall fill in where needed most.

PLEASE NOTE:  The fields that we will be using at Holcolm are not the same fields as Holcolm Left and Right.  The fields we will be using are farther inside the complex with lights.

Let’s kick ass and play some kickball,

Commissioner Nick

Tournament Roster Eligibility Sheets

Team by team tournament roster eligibility sheets are now available. To be eligible for tournament play, players must have participated in at least four regular season games. Check your team’s roster sheet. Any player who has less than “4″ in the “Total” column, is not eligible for the tournament. Any team that plays an ineligible player will automatically forfeit the game in question, so be sure you know who is eligible.

Cougar’s KVKL RPI Standings: Week 10

These are the KVKL RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) Standings. For an explanation of what is the RPI, please refer to my blog at http://deronbelt.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/rpi-101/ with a reference from http://kenpom.com/blog/index.php/weblog/rpi_help/

The RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) formula is as followed: 25% team’s winning percentage + 50% team’s strength of schedule + 25% team’s opponents’ strength of schedule. The three numbers inside the parentheses, at the far right of each RPI ranking, are raw numbers BEFORE being multiplied by the appropriate percentage in the RPI formula.
