Spring Is In The Air

Greetings I.P.L. Members.
Well, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter for most, and I’m sure that you all miss the fun and fellowship of the the league as much as we do. But spring is here, and the vaccinations are just around the corner!
While current government restrictions still do not allow us to begin league play, your IPL committee is now looking at all of our options should they change for the better. The captains will be notified of an organizational meeting as soon as possible, but there may only be a few days notice, given that the restriction changes are usually announced on the weekends.
Stay tuned for more updates, and stay safe everyone!!

The Untouchables are Unplayable

We have run into our first glitch of the season.

 

It seems that the King Pub Untouchables prematurely signed up to play, without having a captain or any players. 

 

They will not be having a team this season, so all matches scheduled against the King Pub Untouchables will now be a Bye. These matches will be scored as 8 points for the team that was scheduled to play them.

 

Please check your schedule to see when your Bye is scheduled.

Mid-season Captains' Meeting Notes

We had the mid-season captains' meeting on October 18th. 

 

There were representatives for 10 of the 15 teams at the meeting. Those ten teams will receive 15 bonus points, as we announced before the meeting.

 

Here is what we covered in the meeting:

 

1) End of Season Banquet:

 

We feel that it is in the best interest of the league and and its members that we do not hold a banquet this season. That many people packed into a room, maskless and drunk, might put the country into Level 3.

We will still prepare a slide presentation, which we will make available for viewing. We will also designate a time and place for people to pick up team and individual awards.

 

2. End of Season Date:

 

Currently, the season is scheduled to end on November 11^th, with playoffs ending on November 25^th. We had to skip Weeks 6 and 7, due to Korean government restrictions. Since we are foregoing the banquet this season, we would like to extend the season two more weeks, and play those missing matches. This means that the season will end on November 25^th, and the playoffs will finish on December 16^th. We would like to have only Wednesday night playoffs, as well.

New Schedule:

Week 15 – November 11

Week 6 – November 18

Week 7 – November 25

 

Playoffs:

Round 1 – Wednesday, December 2

Round 2 – Wednesday, December 9

Round 3 – Wednesday, December 16

 

3. Playoff format:

 

Since we only have 5 teams per bracket, we will be using a standard single-elimination format.

 

4. Since we only have 15 teams, it is natural to have 5 teams in each playoff bracket, based on final standings. At the moment, there is a pretty natural break after the top 5 teams, so we will continue with that plan.

 

5. Since we are extending the season two more weeks to make up the lost matches, we will keep the playoff eligibility at a minimum of 5 matches.

 

6. For the remainder of the season, let's stay smart and stay safe in regards to the coronavirus.

The Summer/Fall 2020 Season Begins

The Summer/Fall 2020 Season is set to begin.

 

We are cautiously opening the new season, with the understanding that it may need to be halted or cancelled at any time due to pandemic conditions.

 

It is imperative that everyone involved in the matches - whether it be players, bar staff, or simply spectators supporting the matches – diligently observes social distancing practices before, during and after each match on Wednesday nights.

 

These include:

Using hand sanitizer

Wearing a mask

Spreading out around the venue to create social distancing

Refraining from physical contact

Filling out venue-provided questionnaires and sign-in sheets

Complying with temperature check protocol at venues

 

Most important of all, if you show any symptoms – even the tiniest symptom – stay home.

 

Please, be smart, be considerate, and be ethical regarding this.

 

The schedule is posted, and matches begin on Wednesday, July 29^th.

 

Good luck, all. And let's stay safe out there.
