Don Blair Softball Jam
Thursday, April 10th, 2008The Don Blair Softball Jam is fastly approaching and so many people have expressed interest in both playing and enjoying in the festivities. Looks like this could be an event not worth missing. It will be Salway field, located on spring grove ave across from the Spring Grove Cementary. Games will start around 1:00pm but teams are welcome to arrive at 12:30pm to start warming up.
The signup list for the non-softball attendees is on the board by room 100A&B. Please make sure to give your name and email information if you plan on attending. If you are bringing a guest you do not need to place their name on the list also, but you do need to pay for them ($3).
If you are playing softball please pick up a form from the S&E mailbox in the lower righthand corner of the club mailboxes located across the hall from the 2L and 3L mailboxes. The form requires a team captain’s name and a list of the rest of the team members.
Remember you may play on one team as a team member. If you already have a team together please email me or Ryan Mabry (mabryrm@email.uc.edu) so that we can set up the games. If you would like to play but don’t have a team, email me and I will let the team captains know about the wonderful free agents available. Each team member must pay $5 but payments can be made as one payment or individually.
For the sake or no confusion and to alleviate some of the problems from the Bracket Tournament, please pay in cash. Additionally, anyone paying at the door will have to pay $8, so I suggest signing up now and paying your money early. Money will be collected next week up till friday morning at 12:00pm. If you do not think you will be able to pay by friday please contact me right away, but otherwise you will be charged the rate at the door of $8.
For those who did not read some rule restrictions in the first email, hear they are again. “In order to make the teams more competitive, there are some restrictions placed on the games. Each team must be coed. The games will go for 5 innings with a 15 run rule after the second and a 10 run rule after each inning following. Additionally, no member of a lineup may bat more than twice in an inning. All other rules will follow closely with the standard rules of softball.”
In addition to the well loved Don Blair umpiring the games, there will be a mystery umpire who I am sure will give some flair to the games. So faculty, we would love to see you out there giving the students a run for their money. And students, there is nothing like a good, clean softball game to determine who the champions truly are. With that being said….
