SWLL Update:  December 20, 2006

All:  I apologize for the tardiness of the updates.  I think I should have all of your changes in the schedule, so please check the new schedule and make sure all of your games are correct.  If they are not, please email me to let me know what needs to be changed and put "SWLL Schedule Change" in the subject line. 

Planning is starting for the 2007 Championships that will be held in Atlanta.  More details to come soon.  Also, please consider volunteering for the SWLL positions for 07-08 as Meghan and I will both be stepping down.  Volunteers are necessary to keep this league running, so we appreciate your help.

SWLL Update:  October 6, 2006

Our email account and web hosting account seems to have lapsed, so I am in the process of getting our website changed over to Will Oakley's hosting site, and the new address is www.swll.ialax.com.  I'm working on getting our email addresses updated, so we may be able to keep the @swll.org emails or we may change to @swll.ialax.com email addresses.  Please refer to your most recent contact list that Traci Collins has sent out (and I will attach below) to email whoever you need to directly.  I am going to send out an email to all of the addresses, so you can keep that as one to reply-all to if you need to.  Please email me at crews.jennifer@gmail.com if you have any questions or need anything in particular.  And those of you that are on the list and don't want to be, I'm getting that taken care of as well.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks,

Jen

SWLL Update:  October 6, 2006

A few things for this years play day and meetings:

First the schedule (blow and attached as a word doc):
2006 SWLL Fall Play Day
Saturday October 21st

Time               Field 1                          Field 2
10:00am        UF vs GT                    EU vs UCF
10:40am     UGA vs  AUB             SCAD vs UCF
11:20am        GT vs  AUB               UF vs  EU
12:00pm       UCF vs UGA             SCAD  vs  EU
12:40pm         GT vs UGA               UF vs AUB
1:20pm            GT vs UCF             SCAD vs  EU
2:00pm            UF vs  UGA           SCAD vs  AUB
2:40pm            EU vs  UGA              UCF vs  AUB
*7 participating teams: Auburn (AUB), Central Florida (UCF), Emory (EU), Florida (UF), Georgia (UGA), Georgia Tech (GT), and SCAD
**Each team gets 4-5 30-minute running clock games.  Everyone also plays back-to-back at least once.

Second, I know there has been some discussion about how to handle the
expansion of SWLL and a couple of thoughts that I had were: (1) to cut
down on the number of league games for full members (from 8 to 6) so
that way those teams wanting to play more out of league competition can
do so and the teams that do not want to travel can add additional games with other SWLL teams (this would also most likely lower dues some);

(2) Make the champs 8 teams with games only held on Saturday and Sunday and no byes (1 v 8, 2 v 7, etc. on Saturday AM, then semis that
afternoon/evening and the champs on Sunday) - most leagues play multiple
games in one day (the WCLL plays 3!)...this way we include more teams,
miss less school, etc....Let me know your thoughts, or other ideas so I
can put together the agenda for the meeting as well as any potential
votes.

Third, the 2007 Championships:  the open weekends look to be either
April 14th-15th or April 21st-22nd.  The AQ winner is due to the WDIA by Sunday or Monday, April 22nd or 23rd.  If your school is interested in
hosting the champs (or has a nearby HS or park that is, etc.) please
start working on it...I will send out an additional document later today or
tomorrow outlining what we would like to have in a venue as well as what
the SWLL will need to know before voting - something I would like to do
at the meetings as opposed to later via e-mail.

Thanks, Meghan

SWLL Update:  August 10, 2006

The Fall Play Day at Emory is set for the weekend of October 21 & 22 (Saturday and Sunday).  The play day will start at 9 or 9:30 on Saturday morning, followed by the SWLL Board Meeting at 4 pm in a classroom on the 2nd floor of the Athletic Center.  The Scheduling Meeting will take place on Sunday at 9:00 am in the same classroom.

All teams:  please pass along your current contact information to Traci (traci@swll.org) and Meghan (meghan@swll.org) so we have updated information regarding how to contact you.

To all of the '06 All-SWLL players:  It has been a huge fiasco to get the right shorts for your '06 All-SWLL gift.  I personally apologize for the inconvenience and the time you've had to wait.  I will have these shorts at the play day, but if you have graduated or won't be at the play day, please let me know and I will mail them to you.  I will be contacting all of you individually (as much as I can), to find out if you will be at the play day or if I need to drop these in the mail.  So sorry for the confusion.  I hope you like them.

New Teams:

If you are interested in joining the SWLL for the 2007 season, please contact Meghan McDonogh. 

Also, current SWLL teams (and those interested in joining SWLL), please pencil in October 21^st , 2006 as the date for the fall play day and board meetings followed by a scheduling meeting on October 22^nd.
