Week 42 Results

Hey Club members...

Round 1 of the Quarter-Finals is complete; see the bracket below for the current standings.

Head2Head Matchups
The quarter-finals are being be held in Weeks 42-44, with all matchups being best two-of-three. The semi-finals will be held immediately after that in Weeks 45-47. There will be one off-week (Week 48) and then the finals will be held from Weeks 49-51. Week 52 will have no team matchups.

Here is the current bracket:


Also, the five teams whose All-Stars won the matchup earlier this year will each be able to use an additional 5% scoring bonus in any of their matchups (Teams: iRunners, BTYBLTH (already used their's), Run Track Minds, Give Em Gel, and Beer Me Glenn!).

Important Club & Personal Announcement
I will be stepping down from the role of Club Admin at the end of this year.

This may be no surprise to some of you - given my lackluster ability to post results - and in that regard I feel badly that I've not preserved the high enthusiasm as in past years. This Club deserves to have a person at the helm who can help motivate fellow runners to reach and exceed their goals.

I'm very proud of how the Club has evolved since Karina (keenagirl) and I picked it up in mid-2008. A lot of credit must go to the Team Captains for keeping this organized and fun. I have always emphasized that this is an individual achievement club, but the teams do help a lot.

I will run the Club for the remainder of the year, but hope that someone will step forward and take on this role for 2012 and have spoken with a few members who have expressed an interest in taking over next year. I will be glad to assist the next admin with 2012 signups and such. There are several RWOL folks who have demonstrated some excellent database/web development skills that exceed my own and could really make some improvements to the function of the Club.

I still hope to participate as a member myself once I get my running mojo back (i.e., organize my time better), so I'm not saying goodbye. Just, "Thank You" for letting me be a part of this cool Club.

Take Care,
-Glenn

Week 39 Results

Hey Club members...

Lots of things to talk about, so without further ado...

Head2Head Matchups
Week 40 (October 3-9) is the final regular season matchup week. The playoffs begin next week (Week 41, October 10-16) with a "buy-in" round for the bottom four teams.

The 7th & 10th place teams - and the 8th & 9th teams - will face off in single matchups to determine who will advance to the quarter-final round of the playoffs.

The quarter-finals will be held in Weeks 42-44, with all matchups being best two-of-three. The semi-finals will be held immediately after that in Weeks 45-47. There will be one off-week (Week 48) and then the finals will be held from Weeks 49-51. Week 52 will have no team matchups.

Here is a bracket showing how this is set up (letters correspond to final regular season ranking... "A" = 1st, "B" = 2nd, and so on to "J" = 10th):



Also, the four teams whose All-Stars won the matchup earlier this year will each be able to use an additional 5% scoring bonus in any of their matchups (Teams: iRunners, BTYBLTH, Run Track Minds, Give Em Gel).
