 2008-08-02: SUMMER INTERLOCK FEES: Invoices have been sent to the League Presidents.
I sure hope none of them force me to publish a "deadbeat" list!

 2008-08-01: SUMMER INTERLOCK PLAYOFFS: For planning purposes, here is what I've told the convenors:
1. If a division is 8 or more teams, we do a split into an "A"-side and a "B"-side.

Rookie - 3 teams

Minor Canadians ("A") - 7 teams

Minor Nationals ("B") - 8 teams -- split this 4 and 4

Major Canadians ("A") - 8 teams -- split this 4 and 4

Major Nationals ("B") - 9 teams -- split this 4/5 or 5/4, whichever

Junior Canadians ("A") - 7 teams

Junior Nationals ("B") - 7 teams

Senior - 7 teams

Big League - 7 teams

The convenor gets to decide the split. The suggestion is to put over-.500 teams in A and
sub-.500 teams in B, and place exactly .500 teams as needed to balance the split as much
as practical.

2. Format is single elimination. If there are an odd number of teams, then the highest
ranked team gets a bye. Highest ranked team is always home. We try to play on the home
team's diamond unless they it is not available. We're not going to delay playoffs just so
a team's first game could be played on their home diamond if their normal home night is a
Thursday, for example.

Rookie, with 3 teams, may decide to do a round-robin instead. They will let me know.

7 teams: "Day" 1. (Mon-Tue) 1st gets bye, 2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th, 4th vs 5th. "Day" 2. (Wed-Thu) 1st vs Winner of 4th/5th, other two winners play "Day" 3. (Fri-Mon) Day 2 winners play in finals.

6 teams: "Day" 1. (Mon-Tue) 1st & 2nd gets bye, 3rd vs 6th, 4th vs 5th. "Day" 2. (Wed-Thu) 1st vs Winner of 4th/5th, 2nd vs Winner of 3rd/6th "Day" 3. Day 2 winners play in finals. Big League uses best 2 of 3 final, time permitting.

5 teams (A): "Day" 1. (Mon-Tue) 1st gets bye, 2nd vs 5th, 3rd vs 4th. "Day" 2. (Wed-Thu) 1st vs Winner of 3rd/4th "Day" 3. (Fri-Mon) Winner 2nd/5th vs Winner Day 2 in finals.

5 teams (B): "Day" 1. (Mon-Tue) 5th gets bye, 6th vs 9th, 7th vs 8th. "Day" 2. (Wed-Thu) 5th vs Winner of 7th/8th "Day" 3. (Fri-Mon) Winner 6th/9th vs Winner Day 2 in finals.

4 teams (A): "Day" 1. (Mon-Tue) 1st vs 4th, 2nd vs 3rd "Day" 2. (Wed-Thu) Day 1 winners play in finals

4 teams (B): "Day" 1. (Mon-Tue) 5th vs 8th, 6th vs 7th "Day" 2. (Wed-Thu) Day 1 winners play in finals

3. Your convenor will schedule the games. We are looking at "Day 1" being Mon Aug 18-Tue Aug 19,
"Day 2" being Wed Aug 20-Thu Aug 21, and "Day 3" being Fri Aug 22-Mon Aug 25.

4. Your convenor will arrange to pick up the trophies from me and arrange for them to be
presented at the final games.

5. Your convenor will get digital pictures of the teams in all finals with their trophies
and will forward them to me for posting at the District 2 web site. Any parent with a
camera is free to help with that, please!

Good luck to all teams!
