Summer '08 Opening Day

Friday, June 20, 2008 10 AM: Jawaher or the Dragons or Formerly 4U2NV @ The Team in White Featuring Le Freak (UPDATE 7/7/08: This ends up being Bezzig & Lezzig @ JoSox) 11:30 AM: No-mads IV No-Shukri @ Trojans 1:00 PM: Trojans @ Slackers Registration: Please get with your captains and be sure you pay your registration fee this Friday, June 20. ASL will not chase people down: IF YOU DON'T PAY, YOU WON'T PLAY. Bats: After some research, many of the bats we thought were illegal are actually legal. (Saif's home run stands!) If you wish to buy a bat for personal use, please make sure that it is STAMPED with ASA's approval. (What is NOT OK: NSA, USSSSSSSSA, ISA, "Official Softball," etc.) Only ASA bats going forward. This has been in our rules since we started Amman Softball League. It's a safety issue. No whining about it, please. (Blame Eyad Zoubi of the Nomads for being the first person in ASL's six seasons to ever ask the ump to check the legality of a bat. And this was after a home run during a freaking scrimmage game.) Sportsmanship: If you want to complain about a call during a game, hold your tongue. Be cool and don't embarrass yourself or the league. Finally: READ THE RULES. They're the same as last season. (Look in the Downloadables section, on the right. UPDATE: The link has been fixed. Thanks, Karim! A single click will now take you to the download page.) Good luck, play hard and be safe. It's wide open this season. Anyone can take the trophy.
