[Offintheshower] Off in the shower weekly report.

Gentlemen,

Several items for discussion today.

First, out of 12 teams, 4 of us are winless.  So we still have a hope of 
not being last, though we know everyone beats Off in... ok nevermind.

Practice: I'm calling a practice for Tuesday night, 5 pm at the field just 
west of St. Francis elementry school, on Mikkelson Ave (West end, a few 
blocks east of McCarthy.)  If you make it, great, if not, too bad.  Since 
we aren't the most assertive bunch of guys I am going to become (more of) 
a dictator.  Bring your league fees ($30) and t-shirt money ($15) to the 
practice, if you haven't yet paid, as league fees need to be in by Wed. 
I'll also have everyone sign the roster/waiver Tuesday as it also needs to 
be in on Wednesday. 

If we don't have the $450 we need by Wednesday, we will probably end up 
dropping out of the league.  Not trying to scare you (ok I am, bring your 
money) but I can't afford to cover for the team for any length of time.

Also, bring $10 for the reffing pool.  Since Jeremy has reffed twice, he 
doesn't have to pay and will actually pull $10 out of the pool right away. 
 In the meantime, until all the extra jerseys are claimed (see Roster and 
Jerseys beloe), this money will go to Farrell to cover those costs.

The high is 8 on Tuesday, and we should have maybe an hour of sunlight, so 
we'll try to at least run a few plays from the playbook (like the 
reverses, shuttle passes, draws that nobody thinks we should try in a 
game) and work on a zone defense.

It is the big park pictured here: 
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=62+McCormick+Cres,+Regina,+SK&ll=50.465133,-104.666888&spn=0.004483,0.012802&t=h&hl=en 
 The north end of it (along Mikkelson) has a makeshift football field, 
with yardlines mowed into the grass.  I also live across the street.

Roster: we are down to 12 full time players, and 4 part timers (Stuart, 
Lonie, Bryan T. and Cuyler.)  Jared and Corey are out and Stuart and Bryan 
can only commit to part time.  Paul will be out for the next few weeks as 
well, and Jeff won't be able to make it to the next two games. 

The part time players will pay $10 a game to play, which we will decide on 
how to spend as the year goes on.  We need the rest of the roster to come 
up with full league fees.  We have room on our roster for a couple (5, 
maybe 6) more guys, I know Terrance has lined up a guy.  I might have one 
or two guys interested as well.  We need people who: a) can commit to most 
of the games, b) can pay league fees, c) want to have fun, and d) (perhaps 
least important, perhaps most) are good football players.  If you know 
someone who is interested, let me know asap - they should come to practice 
Tuesday with some cash and ambition.

Keep in mind that for playoffs we will have to cut our roster to 15 
players (playoffs will likely be one or two days only) but with everyone's 
outside committments I would imagine we might have trouble with 15 
committed to whatever date they are, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Worst case scenario, is that we split league fees twelve ways, so league 
fees due now would be $37.50 instead of $30.  At least I hope that is 
worst-case...

Jerseys: with a few people pulling out, and hopefully a few additions to 
the roster coming in, we may have to shift a few jerseys around.  With 
Corey and Jared out, we have two Large jerseys available for new players 
(who will of course have to pay for them.)  We have one extra (size Large) 
jersey for a rover, which could also go to a new roster addition.  At 
their discretion, if we need extra jerseys, we may steal away the four 
part time players jerseys for full time players.  (2 Large, 1 Extra Large, 
1 medium.)   We won't be ordering any more jerseys, so other players will 
just have to wear a black T-shirt.  (If need be, we could find some 
ink-jet iron on and make a jersey or two as well, not the same but close 
enough.) 

In summary, we *may* have available up to 5 Large jerseys, and 1 Extra 
Large, and 1 medium for vacant roster spots (we won't take away jerseys 
from part time players who want to keep them, but for the part time 
players who would be willing to part with them I think we could use them. 

Poker night: I've all but confirmed that we can have our poker night at 4 
Seasons.  I am waiting on a list of dates in November that the private 
room there is available.  It has a capacity of about 70 people, and the 
room is free if we are eating and drinking.  They have two buffets 
available, a pizza and pasta, and an appetizer buffet.  I think we'd have 
to pay close to $10 a head for the buffet.  Once we have the date booked, 
we'll work out costs, entry fees, side tables, and all that.  I'll keep 
you updated, but this is 95% a done deal.  Hopefully we can come up with 
about $500 to cover the next league fee payment.  Anywhere between $25 to 
$40 seems like a reasonable entry fee to me.

Game time: We have a game Wednesday at 10 p.m.  We are home team, so we 
don't have to worry about changing jerseys.  The Bullets are a good team, 
2 and 0.  They beat riderfans 40-0.  There may be a beer on the line for 
every guy who scores a touchdown...  If anyone wants to ref at 11, speak 
up, otherwise I'll take my turn. 

Please let me know if you can make it to the game on Wednesday.  Unless we 
get a few more players on the roster, I'm worried that we won't have our 6 
to start the game...

A few reminders:
 - no jewelery (visible piercings, chains, bling) can be worn on the 
field.
 - spitting gets you kicked out of the building.
