Hey guys, just wanted to update and confirm our plan for when league will end. I want our league to not interfere with the Humboldt harvest tournament November 4th and 5th since it would be great if we could send a team down. If we push the tournament 2 weeks, we would be in the clear, but that would make our finals November 18th, which may be somewhat cold. Our other option is to hold semi's October 28th (Saturday), and finals on October 29th. It would be great to get some opinions before making a decision. 
Thanks,
-Matthew

Hey Matt,

I am in favor of still holding finals on the original date of 10/29, with semis on 10/28. That seems like a great compromise.

Cheers,
Russ

Matt-

Keep in mind that field acquisition will be a process: finding out if fields are available, paying for the fields, etc. Keep in mind...

I am not (personally) into pushing the finals back to the 18th. Myself, I like playing in cooler weather, but many people are not. Especially those with children. You may lose half of your players overall.

I will say that I have liked, in the  past, the 3rd place game happening before the Finals game (on the same day.) It makes it special and fun to have an audience that can really check out the quality of the finals.

As for the party: if the finals happen on Sunday, should we have the party on the next weekend? Or, should we just have the party on Saturday night like we normally do?

Your proposed finals schedule seems like an extra day that would be a commitment from everyone, especially for that weekend. But I am up for it, and agree that it is a good compromise.

Kellen

I would personally like to have the finals pushed back that extra week, but then again it's for selfish reasons because I'll be away on the 28th/29th (birthday weekend boom bam). 

It'll definitely be cold as hell at that time though. It was a torrential and incredibly muddy downpour for last years tournament (still fun though).

Finishing the season as planned on Oct 28th weekend is to my liking. I vote for finishing on the Sat., 2 games in a row...seems to make it easier on the schedule. I like the semi, finals one-day arrangement...one game right after the other and then party.

I second Erin's idea. Both games on the same day would likely get the most turn out.

My preference would be some sort of compromise on dates. 
It's my last season in the area and it would be nice to be able to play in one of the tournament games...I already lost two league games with all of you. 
Of course I get people might have prior commitments.

There will be more leagues to come in the future. We don't necessarily need to extend the season to make this a successful one.  
Now what is this about Ben not being in the area anymore? That is ridiculous if you ask me. He has been here from the start of SOUPA and should not be aloud to leave!

Yes, cheers to Ben! I can't imagine not having his laugh around here anymore.

Matt,

My input:

-Jay Michaelson says he'd be ok with us having the party at his sweet place in Talent again! Really generous of him, esp. considering he's not playing in the league this time. I'll text you his number and email address momentarily.

-The Monster Dash is Saturday, Oct 28 at 10 am / 10:45 am. If there are Ultimate game(s) that day, I'd appreciate it (and maybe other parents would too?) if those events didn't conflict.

Greg
