O6-12-2009. . . . . . . No Game Slots Remain

Due to the unusually wet spring the number of available slots is exhausted.  You may see games on your schedule marked “Game could not be rescheduled”.   We have used every field space from here to July 2 which is the last day of the regular season.  After that we will take a short Independence Day Weekend break and begin the Post Season Tournament on time.

O6-10-2009. . . . . . . Post Season Tournament Invitation

All managers received an invitation to participate in the FCCSL Post Season Tournament.  To register all that is required is to send an email message between now and June 19 indicating your desire to participate.  Only teams that respond will be included.  The 2009 Tournament Director is Andrew Dixon.  The scheduled start date is Tuesday July 7.  Playing restrictions in force during the regular season do not apply for tournament play.  Teams will most likely be playing on a Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Sundays.  

 A player must be on the legal roster and have played in three (3) or more regular season games for the team to become eligible for participation in the FCCSL Post Season Tournament.

The brackets will be produced after June 19 and distributed soon after then.

O6-04-2009. . . . . . . Field Status (Pilot Test)

All managers and most players in the Church Softball League know how to check the FCCSL Field Status Line to ensure the fields are still open.  The current system uses the phone to get the word out.  This has worked well for many years, but on questionable days the line rings constantly and I’m certain people must wait to get through. 

Starting today (June 4) a new Field Status tool is being tested to see if some of the frustration can be eliminated.  There is a new button (“Field Status”) on the FCCSL Website Main page that will be updated as field conditions change.  This will permit multiple people to obtain the status without delay.  I will be soliciting input from managers after the season to determine the success of the pilot.  The phone line field status will remain in operation to permit people to get the status when the internet is not convenient.
