     We had another great week last week!  We had a few pretty intense games.... that both actually ended in ties!! Solo first place is still up for grabs!!  All teams are pretty closely packed in the standings, so with it being the halfway point of the season... it is anyone's season for the winning!!  Games are still a go for this week and will keep you posted if that changes. Be prepared for alot of wind this week. Also it will be in 50s again come game time Thursday night so make sure that you have some warm clothing.  Here were the scores from last week!  


If you would like to check out the standings, just click this ---> Standings

     The schedule for this week is below.  Again just make sure you are there early and leave time for traffic to occur when traveling to the fields.  There were a few teams that we had to delay a little bit for this week... so PLEASE make sure you are there by the latest 10 minutes before the hour so we can get the games started right at 7pm!


Couple rules I wanted to address. 
  1. Yelling at referrees is NOT allowed... regardless of how intense the game.  I understand games get competitive but these refs are doing this voluntarily and deserve to be treated with respect.  As a team you get ONE warning for the season if you are caught yelling at a ref (be that head ref or line ref).  After that the player that yells the next time on your team at refs will be suspended for a game.  TX Tornado kickball is about having FUN first!  Growing the league back to its past size is a huge priority!  Past seasons I've seen teams refuse to ref other teams because of past situations involving yelling... So to make sure these situations don't occur in the future, we are going to make sure this doesn't happen now.
  2. In regards to timing of games... games last 50 minutes.  If you are about to go into an inning (say for instance the 4th inning), and there is only 10 minutes left before time is up- The head referree MUST address both teams telling them this will be the last inning of play for the game due to time.  If this is not stated, the game will have to be played in its entirety, or at least the next full inning after that must be played.
  3. Even if there is time left after the 5th inning and it is tied... the game is still OVER and marked as a tie!  The only time that we will go to extra innings is in the playoffs!!
     Well that's all the information I have for this week!  There are a few events and kickball tournaments I was informed about so I will also be making posts about those events as well shortly!  If you haven't done so already please fill out the Mid Season Survey (<-- Link to fill it out).  We are really trying satisfy all of the players and the only way to know that we are doing that is if you fill this out.  It will only take a few minutes and the feedback is definitely looked at!  Hope you have a great rest of your week and see you on the fields Thursday night!
