2015-16 Season

Before we lace up and get ready for a new season, there are a few things we need to cover.

BATTLE FOR THE BEAST
The last game of the season was one of the most intense games of the year and I think it had to do with this:
For those who weren't there, we handed out awards for offensive player of the year (Makesi), defensive player (Neal aka Silver Dragon), and hustle (Patrick).  But there was no greater honor than the steroid injected mutant you see above you.  That went to our league MVP, the Mamba himself:  Chris. 

Since you only get to keep the trophy for one year (unless you win it again), I am calling this season Battle for the Beast.  May the best man win.

VOTING
A few players came to me with some suggestions last year.  Let's take a vote to see what you guys think:

1. In years past we have ordered personalized jerseys.  If enough people want them, they come out to about $20.  Includes name and number on back.


Order personalized jerseys for 2015-16?

Yes
No

Quizzes


2.  Some have suggested a change to choosing teams.  Their suggestion is that after the first captain picks the first player, the second player should be able to pick the next two players.  Alternate picks after that.  I'm guessing the thinking is that the first captain has the unfair advantage of getting the best pick in each round, so this balances it out better.


Change picking teams so 2nd captain gets 2nd and 3rd pick?

Yes
No

MISCELLANEOUS
To recap:

1. Call your own fouls.  Say "foul" and not some other thing like "my ball" or "and one"
2. If you call a foul and the ball goes in, bucket counts.
3. Ball don't lie.

That covers it.  All that's left is for you to channel your inner Charles Oakley and be there this Thursday at 7:30pm.
