  • Standings pages updated

    OK, got the stats working a bit different. Team and Individual stats are now migrated to their respective divisions. I'll post the old stats for the first half of the season sometime later when I have more time. Some of you probably prefer to have a new set of individual stats anyways, so hopefully their is some rejoice in this new system.

  • Schedule is out!

    There are some teams with long Home/Away breaks in their schedules. This is unavoidable because of the complexity of the schedule. There are a total of 10 teams that share venues, which lends itself to a very complex scheduling process. The schedule was made using a scheduling program. It took the program many hours to compute this schedule. On another note, we will be running the Singles KO on Thursday's in September, the Doubles KO on Thursday's in October, and the Singles League on Thursdays in November and December. More information will be given on this as the deadlines approach.

    Jim provided play by play coverage as Kevin and crew swarm on unsuspecting opponents and seize victories. Latin Lovers are 3-1 and at this point seem a sure spot for upper division. This begs the question - who will be relegated? If you wish to submit your own blog or join up, lemme know

    29th January 2008 2008 League Cup Starts March 26th

    Hello everyone and welcome to the 2008 season. There have been some changes to the SIDL committee since the vote at the AGM. After a very close vote, Rick Horton is the new chairman of the league. He edged out Stephen Guess 23 votes to 20. Along with a new chairman we have 3 other new members.

    *Chairman - Rick Horton
    *Secretary - Brett Nelson

    Treasurer - Craig Wilson
    Stats/Web - Brett Nelson
    *Sponsorship - Kris Goetghbeur
    *Entertainment - Huck Nguyen
    *denotes new committee members

    The league will continue the same format and schedule as last season. The first half of the season every team will play every other team to decide the League Cup champion. The placement of the teams during the first half will decide which division each team will compete in during the second half of the season. As last season, we will continue the same games format.

    2 triples matches (best of 1 leg)
    3 doubles matches (best of 3 legs)
    6 singles matches (best of 3 legs)
    1 team match (best of 1 leg)

    We will also continue with the same points system as last season.

    Win - 3pts.
    Draw - 1pt. each team
    Lose - 0 pts.


    After some discussion of the committee members and several captains, we have decided to move the league start day back one week to February 26th. That will also push back the team registration deadline one week as well to February 19th. Please submit your roster by February 19th so that we have plenty of time to get the first half schedule made and posted/sent out to all players/captains/venue owners. As in years past, players can move/change teams up till the 3rd week of play. This year that will be March 11th. March 11th is also the deadline for teams to pay their league fee.

    Shoot well,

    Rick Horton
    Chairman
