Now that Summer and Fall League are now over, it's now on to Winter League. Thanks to Brian and Cara of Gold, we have an opportunity to keep playing disc every Wednesday night from 8:30 - 10:00 PM beginning January 3, 20001 at the brand-new Wheeler Farm Gym out at Seekonk. However, before we commit to do so, we need a sufficient financial commitment from y'all. If you want to play, you gotta pay. And we reserve the right to limit participation so first come-first served. 1. Only slot available is from Wed (which is good) from 8:30-10pm or 10:30 if we so choose. Late start isn't the worse thing, you go home, you eat, you go out and play. No excuse for being late. 2. Cost is $70 per hour so 90 minutes is $105. 3. We will have access to the locker rooms and showers so you don't have to go home cold. 4. We can probably secure 7:30pm next year but if we do NOTHING this year we are sure to be left out for years to come as winter indoor space is hard to come by. 5. The size is 3 basketball courts so we can probably play 6 on 6 disc or we can use each court as a field and play a version of 4 on 4. I played in a 4x4 league in New Zealand and it was a great workout... We'll see how many people we get signed up and then decide. Note we are keen to make this a good workout thus rules to speed up play and keep the game interesting will be used. For example we may play games to three points 'make it take it (no pull)' to keep the flow going, we may also play variants of 4 x 4 or and have nights where it is a mini tournament. So the plan is to mix it up a bit, so come with an open mind and ready for a workout. We will also end the season with a bowling tournament in east providence to settle bragging rights..we may also see if we can secure volleyball nets, etc for some nights.... 6. It will be a low cost league..i.e no new shirts..we'll play light vs. dark..or assign team colors and you bring your own. There will most likely be teams but that is still up in the air. 7. The season - we can go 12 weeks..it will start Jan 3rd - sorry that's when they open it...so Jan 3rd to April 3rd or so. 8. The math: $1260 for 12 x 90 minute sessions would be $30 (plus a bit for insurance - estimate $35-$40 a player) a player for 40 players...thus four teams of 10. six men four women per team. Thus we need 24 guys and 16 women to COMMIT. We could up the rate a bit to get longer games in. we'll see. 9. There will be a minister of Spirit...anyone who can't have fun while being competitive will be shown the door..no shower... so, if you have the time and want to play send an email to me ASAP. Suggestions are welcome. matty
