[ Standings and Info ]- Bar Attendance
Fusion continued their dominance with 10 or more players at the bar for the 4th straight week to earn full attendance points along with UNITY. BBYS and KR4K hit tier two with 5 or more players, while BBYM and Pandas still showed a presence at the bar.
- Bar Game - Cornhole
The hype was real for cornhole, unfortunately rain got in the way and caused the cancellation of cornhole for the evening. Every team who was ready to go earned a point.

1st - Pandas had Ella sporting...I don't even know. It was green, had beads, and was unbelievably obnoxious. Obnoxious enough to get first place!
-
2nd - For BBYM, Mimi went green cone-head to match Ella...but with something weird growing out of it. Somehow it looks kind of right?
-
3rd - Curtis from UNITY made a statement with his blond transition...apparently some people thought it was real!

League Support
BBYM, Fusion, KR4K, and UNITY all managed to get their field breakdown points but it was Alexandra from Fusion who managed the rare field setup point as well.
Fusion escaped with a narrow one point win this week over BBYM and UNITY. It all comes down to the final week between UNITY and Fusion.

About Those Rules
Game time and forfeits. Everyone that has played kickball any length of time has had to deal with the dreaded scenario of a potential forfeit or players arriving late. But what are the actual rules governing a grace period for game start, forfeits, and late arrivals?The answer comes straight out of the CLUBWAKA Policies.
Game Forfeits (Kickball)
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.
Late-arriving players (Kickball)
Any eligible player arriving after the start of the game must be added to the end of the team's written scorebook kicking order. Players may not be added to the game after the team has been once through the kicking order.
In summary, to prevent a forfeit you need at least 4 guys and 4 girls ready to play. For the VA Atlantic league we allow a 15 minute grace period, however per the policy this is only for the FIRST scheduled game time. There is no grace period for the later games. Late players can be added in at any time provided you haven't gotten back up to the top of the kicking order.
