News
After a couple days of rain Virginia Beach Parks and Rec canceled the games for Monday night due to poor field conditions. Wet, saturated, and sloppy were the descriptors used.
With so many rain-outs one might ask, "How will we make them all up?" I'm glad you asked! Extending the season isn't an option as we have a summer season at Bayville Farms Park on Monday nights. We could add a third time slot for games (8:30-9:30pm), but that means playing much later, getting additional field time, and less bar time as well. The best option is to add a third field. This does present one difficulty though. With three fields, six teams will be playing at once, leaving just one team to ref all three games. I've already talked with the captains and most teams are confident they can handle it. So what we're going to do is move ahead with the three field plan and make it work as well as we can. In the next couple weeks, captains will be assigning extra refs to games so players who haven't refereed before can gain some experience. There will also be some schedule changes to make all this work as well. We started the season with 8 games on the schedule for each team and my goal is to make sure every team gets at LEAST eight games this season.
The official WAKA Kickball Rules have been updated. Good news, you all have been playing with the updated rules already! However, there are some better pictures in this set of rules showing you things like fair/foul balls and the strike zone.
If you have somehow missed all the announcements there is a Mid-Atlantic Kickball Tournament happening on 6-May. The charity being supported is the Sentara Cancer Network Mission Fund. You can find out more on the registration page.
That isn't the only thing happening on Saturday May the 6th. There is going to be a huge party at Peabody's on the Oceanfront. I say huge because this party is our mid-season party AND the after party for the Mid-Atlantic Tournament. There will be no cover charge if you participate in the tournament or are part of the VA Atlantic spring season (pick up your wristband at the door). No party would be complete with some perks so we'll have at least four kegs of free beer until 11pm and $3 drink specials until 9pm.
Game Recaps
Life of the Party (LOTP)
With a surprisingly large turnout for a rain-out, LOTP was in full effect at Bucketheads.
- Two teams showed up with 5 or more players at the bar (Pandas and Jiminy) repeating their feat from last week, however no one had 10 players for the bonus points.
- Our bar game was trivia with twenty randomly generated questions. Four teams participated (Pandas, Jiminy, B&D, and Your Mom) but three were tied with 7 questions correct after the first set of questions. Pandas, Jiminy, and B&D all went into the 5 question overtime round where Jiminy walked away with 3 correct answers and the victory.
- Most were scared or confused by the weekly theme Anything But Clothing, but not Jiminy they showed up in force and also snagged the 1st-3rd place costumes.
2nd and 3rd Place - Take your pick!
1st Place - Yes those are fish
- The photo of the week category was WAKA-Shame. Jiminy Kickit walks away as the "winner" with the only entries.
