Well, the Playoffs are underway and our first matchups have been completed. BTYBTLH defeated Twisted Blisters in a very close match (only four mile-points separating them), and Beer Me Glenn! won over Mötley Shües. They go on to the quarter-finals.
Head2Head Matchups
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 the current bracket:
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 (already used their's), Run Track Minds, Give Em Gel).
Signups for 2012in2012
Can you believe that I'm talking about this already? But yes, signups for the 2012 Edition should begin around the end of October and run through early December. Keep your eyes open for a registration thread.
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. 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
