EOS Parties

District Kickballers,

As the time to put away the rubber balls, plastic cones, and chewed up bases (but not the flip cup tables, those never get put away) draws near, the end of season festivities will soon be upon us.  The season for kickball may be over, but the season for drinking is still going strong.  CHASE Kickball invites you to the following upcoming events. 

EOS Party - November 13th
The official end of season party will take place at The Blaguard (formerly Common Share) at 18th & U St. from 8-11pm.  Festivities will include at 3 hour open bar and presentation of the golden keg trophy to District champions That's What She Said.  The theme will be a graffiti party.

BCMC2 - November 20th
This will be the 2nd edition of the legendary Ballston Common Mall Crawl.  We will start out with a pre-party and check-in at First Down Sports Bar, and then hit every establishment in the mall that serves alcohol.  $15 will include a t-shirt, free beer at First Down, and a pre-paid sake bomb at Shiki Sushi.

Thanks for playing with us this season, and I hope you'll be able to make it to one or both of these epic events.  

Fall Week 6

District Kickballers,

Tonight's games are canceled due to rain.  I never like to cancel games, but at least it was an easy decision this time. 

We will have make-up games starting at 11:00 am on Saturday before the playoffs start.  It will be optional to attend these make-up games, but please let us know if your team does not plan to show.  It will not effect your playoff eligibility, but may effect the seeding.  The actual playoffs will then start around 12:30.  The regular season make-ups will be 5 innings with a 45 minute time limit as usual.  The playoff games will also be 5 innings, but with a 60 minute time limit, and extra innings will be played until there is a winner. 

Schedule
11:00 MTR @ SMK
11:00 TWS @ 1BT
11:45 SMK @ ATM

12:30 5th Place (MTR) @ 4th Place (1BT)
1:30 3rd Place (TBD) @ 2nd Place (TBD)
1:30 4th/5th Winner @ 1st Place (TBD)
2:30 Championship Game

Fall Week 5

District Kickballers,

This week will be a make-up of the Week 1 games.  The schedule will be as follows:
6:30 1BR @ MTR (TWS refs)
7:15 SMK @ TWS (MTR refs)
7:15 1BR @ ATM (MTR refs)
It will be a hot one, so stay hydrated.  (You can dehydrate later at the bar.) 

In other league news, the CHASE Flip Cup Tournament has been scheduled for 1pm October 16th at McFadden's.  So keep hitting the tables at Aria to practice and evaluate your teams' talent. 

See you tonight for some hot, sweaty kickball action.  

Fall Week 4 Newsletter

District Kickballers,

We finally got the season underway last Thursday, and I thought we had a pretty good week of kickball and bar action. The weather forecast is clear and sunny, so I'm expecting another great day for kickball.

Schedule:

6:30 ATM @ 1BT (SMK refs)
7:15 SMK @ MTR (1BT refs)
7:15 TWS @ ATM (1BT refs)

Next Thursday was scheduled to be an off day, but we will be making up the rained out games from week 1 then.

Upcoming Events:

The mid-season party is being scheduled for September 17. We'll be taking the Boomerang Bus for a night of chaos around DC. Let us know if there are any particular bars or places you'd like to see on the agenda. Also, there will be a $10 open bar from 8pm-11pm this Saturday at Tom Tom in Adams Morgan. This is technically the Constitution Conference kick-off party, but all District players are invited to come drink as well. RSVP here to be added to the list.

September 11, 2010 is the 2nd annual 9/11 National Day of Service & Remembrance. Greater DC Cares will support this effort by engaging more than 5,500 volunteers in the region in service on that day. Participants will clean parks, serve meals to the hungry, restore our national monuments, spend time with seniors, and much more. Team up with other CHASE kickballers to serve the community for the National Day of Service. To join the team or just get more information, click here. It will be a lot of fun and will generate some good karma while we’re at it.

See you at the fields and bar tonight!
