Tourney Time Closin' In!

As we enter our fifth week of games, the playoff picture is starting to get more clear. This season SCK opted for a post-season Championship Tourney instead of the more traditional weekly round playoffs. It is a pilot project which is aimed at increasing participation and attendance for the big King of Kickball Championship Game. It is also aimed at trying to streamline the often monotonous post season playoffs which are carried out round by round, week by week. This season we will have a one day weekend tourney and which will decide who will be the new King of Kickball.

All teams will have the opportunity to "make it" into the championship tourney,but the tourney will only consist of 14 of the 20 teams in SCK. Who gets a bid into the tourney? Conveniently it is very similar to the NCAA Championship Tournament, which happens to be coming up very soon.

There will be 14 tourney bids available. The top 4 teams in each group, with the best records, will earn a tournament bid. There will be 1 at-large bid that will be awarded to the next best overall team between the 3 groups after Rivalry Week. The last bid will be awarded to the winner of the Last Chance Play-In Tourney.

The Last Chance Play-In Tourney will consist of all the teams who did not earn a tourney bid. The play-in games will be held on the regular Wed. nights during the last week of the season. Game times we also be held during the regularly scheduled times between 7pm-9pm. Teams who were not top finishers during the regular season will have the opportunity to earn a tourney bid through the Last Chance contest. These teams will play a single elimination tourney. The winner at the end of the night will earn a bid into the post-season tourney.

Good luck to all the teams!
