Fall League X Opening Day!

Hello fellow Williamsburg Softball Fall League players!! This Sunday, October 8th, is Opening Day for year 10! This is our biggest, strongest, and most amazing season yet and I'm happy to have all of you to be part of it.

Opening Day Party is at Kilo Bravo!!

Hello WSFL Players, Managers and Friends!

Please see below the schedule for the 2023 Season as well as the game and playoff format:

• Unfortunately, due to all the rain, we are doing a 5 week regular season.
• Here are the dates:
  • Opening Day, Oct 8th
  • Week 2, Oct 22nd
  • Week 3, Oct 29th
  • Week 4, Nov 5th
  • Week 5, Nov 12th
  • Playoffs Week 1, Nov 19th
  • Ronnie Ortiz Friendsgiving, Nov 26th (no league games but open to everyone!)
  • Playoffs Round 2, Dec 3rd
  • Semi-Finals and Championship, Dec 10th
• Game Format: We are going to go with doubleheaders! To do this, we are using "Tournament Rules" which means in your 2 hour time slot, you are going to play 2 - 6 inning games with a 1-1 count with 1 courtesy foul. Game one you will be the home team. Game two you will be the road team. This means you'll actually play 12 innings a day (instead of 9) and you'll play 10 games as opposed to 8. I think this will help in terms of getting all your players in and keeping people happy.
• Playoff Format: Round 1 will be a 1 - 9 inning game. Round 2, semi-finals and finals will be back to 6 innings, however, you'll play Best of 3!
• The schedule is now LIVE!
• Concerns:
  • We have the permits for dirt fields and blacktop until the end of Nov. The Parks Department does NOT give softball permits in the winter. This doesn't mean we can't play, it just means it's first come first served. My concern is if the Parks Department finally decides to do the construction on the dirt fields, then we're going to have to do playoffs, etc...on the blacktop. But that's for later on and we have to see what happens. 
  • It's gonna be COLD. 
  • We have no flexibility for makeup dates, unfortunately. So, if there is a rainout, then you'll get a win and a loss. This will keep the seeding easier.
  • If playoffs get pushed back we're looking at Dec 17th and then...Christmas Eve?? And then after that...New Year's Eve?? haha so if it rains on two Sundays in December, we're looking at playing our finals on January 7th hahaha dear God.

This is it for now, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thanks!
