Great Time at the Picnic!!!!! - Aug 31, 2010 - Andy Bowers
Thw WMDA had it's annual picnic this past Saturday at Ballenger Creek Park and we were VERY pleased with the wonderful turnout and great weather.
This was one of the largest crowds we've had in many years and everyone seemed to have a great time.
The kids had a lot of fun soaking and drowning me with water ballons and from the 2 empty kegs and 3 depleated 30 packs thereafter the adults had fun also.
I'm very glad everyone was able to make it and enjoy themselves.
I wanted to give a quick thanks again to board members Kenny and Melanie Divel, Dave Krug, Janet Whitcomb, and Amanda Hague for all their help in getting everything ready but a HUGE personal thanks to Shawn Norman and Rich Hague for everything they did. They by far went above and beyond the call of duty and I am very grateful and appreciative for all their diligence in setting up, cooking, and cleaning up afterwards.
Next time you see any of these members, please give them a quick thanks and a handshake for all that they did.
I hope to see everyone at the Handicapp Tournament and X-Mas party this season! Quick Notes - Aug 24, 2010 - Andy Bowers
Just some quick notes and results of the captain's meeting votes before we start the season:
Division 1-No changes
Division 2- Marks and Tons are now back and to be recorded and this will be the format on how personal stats are calculated. 5 marks and 95's-99's will not be recorded but 100's and higher and 6 marks and higher are to be recorded. Also only "in" shots 61+ are to be recorded.
Division 3- The format is now the same as Divisions 1 and 2. No other changes.
Division 4-No changes
Division 5- You are now going to shoot the summer format with the addition of 2 singles CC matches, 1 in the top and 1 in the bottom. All matches are 2 out of 3. A player MAY shoot 3 singles matches as long as they are all seperate matches. For example if a player shoots 1 singles CC match in the top and they are shooting 2 singles in the bottom they MUST play either 501,301 or cricket in the bottom and vice versa. No player can shoot the same singles match again at any time. Same rule applies with doubles matches. If a player shoots a doubles 501 in the top they MUST play the doubles cricket in the bottom or be substituted with someone else.
These changes will be permament for the next 2 seasons with the only exception being the division 5 format and if the new format causes a great delay in getting out at a decent time. If you have any questions please contact me at any time. Thank you. CONGRATS TO SUMMER CHAMPS! - Aug 13, 2010 - Shawn Norman

Playoffs - Aug 4, 2010 - Shawn Norman
Playoff formats are the same as regular season EXCEPT that when a match is coming to an end the games must be played in the order on the sheet unless agreed upon by both captains. Home team captains have the final say on whether to play both games or 1 at a time only in the last 4 games of the night. Quick Reminder - Aug 3, 2010 - Andy Bowers
WMDA this and next week are summer playoffs so please remember that over the summer you need a player to have played at least 2 or more different weeks to qualify. All stats are up and complete. Also fall initial rosters are due this Friday at midnight so please make sure to get yours in as we will be doing the scheduling this Saturday. These are just initial rosters and you only need 3 names to start a team (we have 21 players on the looking for a team list so use it if you need someone!!!) and you can add and drop players as you wish until September 15th. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. Captain's Meeting and notes - Jul 29, 2010 - Andy Bowers
WMDA when filling out your fall rosters make sure that if you have a player that is dropping more than one division to get permission from the board to do so.
The WMDA is going to be tight and strict on players who attempt to drop more than one division and do not get permission.
If you do not get permission and it is discovered that you or your team member has dropped more than one division even as a sub you or they could be precluded from shooting in that division the rest of the season.
You may move up divisions as many as you like w/o permission.
This is put into place so that higher level shooters don't attempt to get top shooter plaques in lower divisions and keep the competition more even and fair.
Also if you made the mistake or holding onto your spring board until after the summer please make sure to give the board to the bar when your season is over.
One final thing....please try to make it to the captain's meeting if you can because division 2 will be voting on bringing back tons/marks.
Divisions 3, 4, and 5 will be voting on format options.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free at anytime to contact me or any board member. Thank you. Fall Initial Rosters Due August 6th - Jul 8, 2010 - Andy Bowers
WMDA Initial Rosters for the Fall are due on friday, August 6th!!!!.
