[ Standings and Info ]

• Bar Attendance
  While many teams were close only Fusion hit the magic number with 10 players at the bar. Smashers, BBYS, Pandas, and UNITY all had five or more present...with Smashers having their best turnout of the season! BBYM saw an abnormal drop-off with their lowest turnout of the season.
  
  
• Bar Game - Trivia
  With random trivia questions being...well random, it made our 15 question round interesting to say the least. Despite the difficult questions Smashers managed to crush everyone by getting 8 of the 15 questions correct. Fusion came in second with just 4 correct. The other teams fell short with a special shout-out to BBYM and UNITY who managed to get ZERO correct so don't feel bad BBYS, KR4K, and Pandas!
  
  
• Weekly Challenge - Cowboy/Hillbilly (Theme)
  This theme was a bit more difficult than Crazy Socks from earlier in the season. Only BBYM, Fusion, and KR4K managed to get five or more players in theme while BBYS and Pandas still participated.
  
  
  • 
    1st - BBYM snagged first place with Bash Brothers being the stand-out entry. While this is typically a solo costume type contest the fact that the whole team got in on the fun certainly didn't hurt their case.
    
  • 
    2nd - Picking a second place winner was much more difficult. In fact, I had a hard time picking Pandas for second place as their costumes weren't in the top three, however they were creative with their entry (the non-photoshopped version).
    
  • 
    3rd - Picking a third place winner was especially difficult as I was down to picking an individual costume at this point. After sifting back through all the submissions I settled on Moises from Fusion with his cowboy photo. Black hat, setting sun, grass in the mouth...all he was missing was spurs.
    
    
• League Support
  Another week and another race by teams for field breakdown. BBYM, Fusion, KR4K, and Pandas all picked up a point.

After falling short last week Fusion takes another weekly win powered once again by bar attendance and a strong bar game performance. Fusion pulled 4 points into the lead ahead of Pandas who is in second place. However, the race is tightening with THREE teams tied for third only five points back!

About Those Rules

"I don't see anywhere in the rules it says I have to have at least four girls!"

Well that's kind of correct. You actually have to look in the CLUBWAKA Policies to find guidance.

The appropriate policy Game Forfeits (Kickball) states:

"To play a regulation game, a team must field a minimum of 8 players overall, and 4 of each sex. Failure to meet these requirements results in a Forfeit of that game. Leagues may allow a grace period for arrival of not more than 15 minutes past the first scheduled game time."
