End of Season due to COVID-19 Pandemic

 We have made the decision to close out this season of Spring 2020 after 8 weeks of play.  This has not been an easy decision by any means.  We looked at several different scenarios—all of which had numerous unpredictable variables.  We concluded that in the best interest of ALL our players we will end the season early.

Things we considered in making our decision:

  • “Shelter-in-Place” executive order extended thru Apr 30 with no guarantee of when restrictions will be lifted, adding to the possibility of a longer wait to restart Season.

  • Less than 50% of season complete – 8 weeks played/10 weeks remain.  Each team played only 8 of 9 possible opponents. 

  • Unknown whether all 20 teams would return with an available roster of min. 5 players

  • Extending Spring 2020 will jeopardize the opportunity to start Fall 2020 earlier as voted on in Captains Mtg in January----(giving us 2 “messed up” seasons instead of just 1).

Payout will be based on Point Money and Special Awards (TRs/BRs) only. 

  • Point Money will be $0.26/player in both divisions. 

  • Special Awards remains $2.00/special. 

Refund

  • 50% of all paid Sponsor Fees will be refunded back to the Sponsors.

  • Sanction Fees paid by players who only played 1 week in Spring 2020 will be refunded.

Captains will be notified when Payout is complete with instructions for picking up Team envelope

Thanks in advance for your support! We appreciate each and every one of you and MISS you all!  We look forward to “making it all up to you” with a slightly longer fall schedule.

STAY SAFE!!

LMS Updated

Spring 2020 information has been posted. You are now able to review Division formats, Team rosters, schedules and Projected Payout. Division assignment is based on the core FargoRates (top 5 ratings) for each team. To ensure division rankings stay consistent, Division B captains must notify the Coordinator prior to adding any new players to allow review of FargoRate standings. All Captains should review their rosters for accuracy prior to Captains Meeting this Sunday. Corrections and updates can be texted to Delyse @ 806-433-4272.

Captains Meeting is this Sunday at Throwbacks at 2PM. We'll explain more about Season format and answer questions that you may have.

REMINDERS

Time flies when you’re having fun and our Spring Season is quickly coming to a close. We have 5 weeks left however only 4 weeks to qualify for Nationals in July since 8 weeks of play must be completed by May 31, 2019. So set your rosters accordingly and get everyone qualified.

Nationals will be moving to March starting next year-2020. Qualification timeframe will now be based on a calendar year (Jan-Dec). SO——-if you played 8 weeks this Spring Season 2019, you are already qualified for Nationals 2020. If not——you’ll have opportunity in the Fall Season 2019.

For teams and individuals going to Nationals this year in July, entries are due by June 3, 2019. Players must be a current BCA member at the time of submitting entry. It will be to your advantage to submit entries by May 31, 2019 in order for your BCA membership (Sanctions Fee) to still be current. Entries received June 1 and after will require payment of new membership Fee.

ATTENTION DIVISION B
