Toronto Arts League - Self Pitch Co-Ed Softball - TAL

With one more week to go, looks like all playoff spots have been settled.

The four play off spots are as follows:

1 - Toronto Life
2 - Opera
3 - Remnants
4 - Badgers (note: a Bain win and a Badgers lose next week would go to the first tie breaker, games against teams, and Badgers take that tie breaker with a 2 and 1 record over Bain.)

Congratulations to all the teams, and good luck in to everyone in the playoffs.

If possible, can Toronto Life send in their pick for home park in the first round of the play offs? Then Opera can pick their home park from the remaining fields.

First round of playoff are:

Toronto Life at home against Badgers.
Opera at home against the Remnants.

Bain and Titan members, if you are interested, the playoff teams would appreciate if some of you could show up to umpire the play off games.

Send an email to me (david.landry@gmail.com) if you are interested in being a ply off umpire.

Thanks

It's spring time again, and the 2011 Toronto Arts League season starts.

The first Exhibition games will take place on May 4th 2001, and will be between the same teams in the same parks as the first official game scheduled for May 11th, 2011.

This means the exhibition games are as follows:

Remnants at home against Bain at Riverdale
Opera at home against the Titans at Greenwood
Badgers at home against Toronto Life at Stanley

The following week, May 11th, the season starts with the same teams in the same parks.

Special note for Stanley Park - it may not be finished construction so you may have to make some impromptu ground rules to work around a short left field and some obstructions in centre field.

You can check in the "Forms & Files" section (see menu bar on the left) to download this years schedule in PDF format, along with the 2011 TAL rules, and Captains contact list.

Good luck everyone, and have a fun season.

Congratulations to Toronto Life. The 2010 Toronto Arts League Champions.

An exiting game that saw Toronto Life down 1 run in the bottom of the 7th, come back for a 19 to 18 win over the Remnants.

Another great year in the history of the Toronto arts league.

Congratulations to all TAL teams for making this year one of the most unpredictable and exciting in the leagues history.

Hope to see everyone back for the 2011 season.

For those teams that may need to play on Sept 1st & 8th, the extended permit is downloadable in the "Forms and Files" section.

Just in case there were any questions concerning the board standing vs our official standings - At this point the board and official standing match.

OFFICIAL STANDINGS
-----------------------------------------------------------

Team ----------Wins----ties----Played-----Standing Average
Toronto Life----10------0--------12-----------0.83
Remnants--------8-------0--------12-----------0.67
Opera-----------7-------0--------13-----------0.54
Bain------------5-------0--------12-----------0.42
Titans----------4-------0--------13-----------0.31
Badgers---------3-------0--------12-----------0.25

Last week seems to have answered all the questions. Both Opera and Titans can catch the team ahead in terms of wins, but because of the difference in games played, the winning percentage will still favour both Remnants and Bain.

So the following teams will make the playoffs

Toronto Life (home) vs Bain (away)

Remnants (home) vs Opera (away)

Badgers and Titan players are encouraged to volunteer for umpires for these games. Anyone wishing to volunteer please send an email to dlandry@ca.ibm.com, We will get back to you as to which field and teams you will be umping.

Thanks
