Make sure YOUR BOARD is in attendance !

MONDAY MAY 10, 2010

There is a shortage of leagues that will host our TOC tournament this year. Many of the divisional brackets have not been posted because not enough leagues have volunteered to host the TOC games for 2010.

We know what leagues want to participate so we can develop a bracket... we simply do not know where the games will be played. Obviously, if no FLD6 leagues are willing to host the games, no games can be played.

Fortunately there is a Presidents Meeting on Wednesday May 12, 2010 and we will decide as a district how to handle the lack of host leagues this year.

One idea to take the stress off our leagues and their volunteers is to consider playing the TOC as a "single elimination" tournament.

Single elimination reduces the number of fields needed to play, leagues that need to host, league volunteers needed to operate the tournament (concession, field prep, volunteer food, oversight), umpires to officiate, and District Staff. After a full regular season, the league volunteers needed to successfully host a TOC tournament are hard to obtain because they need a break before hosting All-Stars.

District 13, our neighbors to the East play a single elimination TOC for these reasons. If no host leagues are found for certain divisions, we will have no choice but to cancel the games for that division or play a "single elimination" tournament.



UPDATE Monday May 9, 2010 - We have the registrations from the leagues and we are finalizing the TOC brackets (both pool-play and single elimination). We will post the brackets when they are complete. Bracket positions will be selected by the league presidents on Wednesday the the Presidents Meeting.
