PLAYOFFS!

PLAYOFF RULES
Start Times: Because ties are not allowed in Playoff games, all games automatically run longer. There is NO fifteen-minute grace period for the 7 PM game. The 7 PM game MUST start by 7:05 PM. The 8 PM and 9 PM games must be ready to go by 8:05 PM and 9:05 PM respectively. However, the 8 PM and 9 PM games should not cut the prior game short just to get their game started.
In the event we are unable to finish a 9 PM game before the lights go out, the game will be rescheduled and played in its entirety. Like during the regular season, only 3 innings are needed for a game to count. In the event the lights go out in the middle of a game, you have to revert back to the score at the end of the last full inning, IF at least 3 full innings have been played. If the game score is not a tied score, then the game score will count. If the game score IS a tie, we will find a time to make up the game.
With all that said, every game should be played on a tight schedule. Pitchers should not take too long in between plays positioning their players, teams shouldn’t take too long to get their teams onto the field between innings. Refs can and are expected to use the “Delay of Game” call when needed, to make sure games stick to an hour as closely as possible.
Forfeits: Forfeits in the Playoffs are the same as forfeits in the regular season. You MUST have at least 4 girls and 4 guys present by the time your game is scheduled to start. If you fail to provide refs for a game you are assigned to ref, you will automatically forfeit your game. If you fail to bring home equipment at the end of the day when you are assigned to do so, you will also automatically forfeit your next scheduled game.
Line-ups Exchange: Remember, at the beginning of each game, Captains are expected to exchange their kicking line-up. Any variance from the written kicking line-up can result in automatic outs for every player that is skipped but present.
Overtime Policy: In the event of a tie score after 5 innings, up to two (2) extra FULL innings will be played until a winner is determined. Each extra inning will be played with the Overtime Rules -- (1) The last kicker from the previous inning will start the overtime inning on second base, (2) Only eight (8) players are allowed in the outfield. The players must be 4 men and 4 women., (3) All kickers start with an unmodified count (0 balls, 0 strikes, 0 fouls). If the game is still tied at the end of 2 overtime innings, Rock-Paper-Scissors will be played to determine the winner. 3 representatives from each team will play in a game of RPS. The first team to win 2 games (best out of 3) wins the kickball game.
T-shirts: In playoff games, we will enforce the WAKA T-shirt policy. Anyone who is playing MUST wear your official WAKA team tshirt. Any player without his/her WAKA shirt is ineligible to play.
Red Cards: As always, ONLY the team's two captains are allowed to TALK to the refs. Any team player that is not a captain, must refrain from talking to any of the refs. If a non-captain player speaks to a ref in an aggressive tone (or even a captain -- remember, the right is to discuss, not yell), the ref can give the player a warning. When it happens again, the player will be issued a Yellow Card and ejected from the game. If it happens again in the next game, the player can and will be banned from the playoffs entirely.

FREEBASE
Our winless Freebase team had little trouble beating Ball So Hard. They must have been too focused on trying to fight us in the street after the game.
It was a quick game because we didn't want to take up too much of their time. They had to go home and learn what tagging up on a caught ball means.
Even as friends as umpires, Ball So Hard couldn't overcome their complete lack of athleticism and terrible bunting to score 2 in the last innings as their captain went down of 4 straight foul balls.

A BIG thank you to our army of fans for coming to our game last night to cheer us on!!!
The team we played was ranked 3rd in our league so even though we lost 3-1, we did a great job of holding our own.
I think the Penthouse pre-game celebrations helped (thank you Nina). :)
Our game MVPs – Nat (quick feet, tons of outs), Nick (superior pitching), Jason (flying tiger catches), Christine (barrel roll)
Go Phelpstars!!!!

Whiskey Kick Loves Kickball
Our last regular season game of the season was a rousing success. In typical Whiskey Kick fashion we met up for a pre-game BBQ at WK HQ. We invited our opponents TEAM over to share in our joy. We all learned a lot about each other and killer whales, because someone put an Orca special on the TV and we are all enthralled. Like did you know that there are actually 3 to 5 different types of Killer Whales? Crazy right?
When game time came, we trundled over to the field and had a blast with TEAM. I think they had a blast with us. Either way it was fun.
You know what isn't fun? The dire situation the world population of Orcas is in. These beautiful and graceful creatures are in danger of extinction.
