Not playing this year
« Thread Started on May 7, 2008, 6:39pm »

After a few good friends of mine in the league (mostly on my own team) convinced me to play this year, we as a team have decided not to enter the league at all.

When we found that the entry fee was still at $250 with only 8 teams (at the time) in the league and that the season was going to end in about a month, the Jackrabbits players discussed it and decided unanimously to NOT enter the league this year.

8 teams times $250 equals $2000. Plus, there was a little over $200 in the league treasury coming into the season. The Rec Park charges $100 per team for getting the fields ready for the leauge, so that's $800. Where's the other $1400+ going? I didn't get a satisfying answer for this question. Apparently there aren't any umpires to pay. The league didn't furnish any balls like it did last year. The number of teams has dwindled to less than two thirds of what it used to be. The number of games wasn't worth the entry fee. So, in light of all this, it just didn't add up to something of which we wanted to be part.

Thanks to all our friends in the league with whom we've had the pleasue to play the past few years. It's sad to see the league come to this, but I guess many good things tend to come to an end sometime.
