Join us at 6:30 p.m. at the Mason YMCA on Walker near the UofM. Play as much as you want (or just come watch) until 8:30 p.m. and then join us across the street at RP Tracks for drinks and food. Everyone is welcome; however, you must be 18 to play. If you are interested in signing up yourself or an entire team of 6-10, it's only $50/person for 10 weeks of regular season play and a 2 week tournament. This season will use the "competitive" balls - 4 rubber 8.5" balls and 2 5" stingers. If you have any questions, you can email either kevin@memphisdodgeball.com or rachael@memphisdodgeball.com. http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/summer_season_info.html http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/summer_season_info.html Fri, 30 Apr 2010 12:14:29 -0600 This Summers season will be competitive balls. Open play will start May 1. We are looking at other venues given the inadequate AC situation, we will let you know if we are moving locations. ]]> http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/stormtroopers_win_season_10.html http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/stormtroopers_win_season_10.html Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:48:17 -0600 Here you go]]> http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/spring_tournament_bracket.html http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/spring_tournament_bracket.html Tue, 06 Apr 2010 14:09:55 -0600 The Y assures me that the a/c will be turned on by next week. They put in a request the beginning of the week for the heat to be turned off- yes the heat was still on! I should have the bracket up later today or tomorrow for next week's tournament. http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/hot_gym.html http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/04/hot_gym.html Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:38:37 -0600 20: There will be a 10 second shot clock (counted out audibly by the ref) to keep the game moving. The team who has the advantage - more players, or more balls in the event of an even field - must throw within 10 seconds of the ref starting the throw clock. if a throw is not made after 10 seconds then the team loses all of their balls and the throw clock starts for the other team. Since everybody likes to interpret the rules their own way and no one is content until all rules are stretched to the point of breaking, here's how the tournament will run:

• The team with the most players has to throw before the countdown ends.
• In the event of an even field, the team with the most balls will need to throw.
• If there are even players and even balls (3/3 and 3/3 on a court), somebody must throw. If neither team throws before the clock runs down, each team will lose a player that is closest to the referee's sideline.

So what happens if one team has 6 players and 1 ball and the other team has 3 players and 5 balls? How about this? Just stop complaining and throw the damn ball. You know whose turn it is to throw? It's yours. The referee will now be tasked with saying which team is on the clock before the countdown. They will follow the rules as stated above; however, in an uneven situation, it is their decision. Deal with it. And shut the hell up. oh, and throw the damn ball.]]> http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/03/last_week_of_the_regular_seaso.html http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/03/last_week_of_the_regular_seaso.html Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:16:05 -0600 For those pre-partying at my house: Meet up at my house between 12 and 2. Park in the church lot across from my house. I will have snacks and lots of beer. We will caravan to Beale from there where we will need to begin lining up at 2:30. If you do not intend to hang out on Beale after the parade, please make plans to get back to your car or drive separately - I do not run a shuttle service. Bring cash if you would like to drink on Beale while waiting: we can run to the closest bar and grab beers until the parade starts to kill time. For those who would like to meet us there: Please meet us (somewhere near 4th on Beale) no later than 3:30. I will probably be attending the River City Brewers Festival after the parade and anyone who would like to join is more than welcome to do so. The only catch is the ticket price: $30 in advance and $40 at the gate. Session B runs from 6-10. It benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, so suck it up and drink a ton of beer for a good cause. This year I was unable to procure a giant inflatable leprechaun which is a huge disappointment to me; however, we have a bazillion things to toss at the crowd.]]> http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/03/st_pats_parade_info.html http://www.memphisdodgeball.com/MDB/blog/2010/03/st_pats_parade_info.html Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:53:07 -0600 The Beale Street parade is this Saturday March 13th.

Monkey see, monkey do- not working so well. The monkey might be retarded!
