2 SERIOUS GMOT STAFF WAKA Action Division Customer Service Rep: Kyle Bateman THERE S NO RULES!... WAIT YES THERE IS! Presented by Kyle Bateman Our playing fields are run by the City of Jacksonville, so we need to pay close attention to their rules to ensure we will have fields to play on for the season. Pets: Pets are not allowed at the park. Please make plans to keep your pets at home or we will have to ask you and your pet to leave. Beverages: Alcoholic beverage containers are not allowed at the park at any time, this includes the fields & parking lots. No glass containers or bottles of any kind are allowed on the fields. Coolers, Funnels, Kegs and Party Balls or anything that seems fun are not allowed on the fields. You are required to keep all beverages in bubba kegs, thermos bottles, solo cups, or anything that cannot be seen through. Clear colored or see through cups are not allowed, please purchase solid colored solo cups. Anyone in violation of the beverage policy will be asked to leave the premises and may be suspended for the remainder of the season. Please do not be the guy/gal walking in with a case of beer wrapped in a plastic bag or something. That is NOT ok. Other Activities: Due to general safety and liability reasons; no other sports may be played at a WAKA permitted field just prior to or during the games. That means no tossing a football around or kicking a soccer ball etc. CONTENTS PAGE SERIOUS You are here FIELD LAYOUT 3 SCHEDULE 4 POWER RANKINGS 5 THEMES AND CONTESTS 6 PRESEASON HIGHLIGHTS 7 AFTER PARTY INFO 8 Fireworks: Absolutely no fireworks of any kind are allowed on or near our fields.

7 POWER RANKINGS 1. Body By Kickball In the end, Body By Kickball wound up clinching the #1 spot and came out to prove they hadn t lost the scoring feeling by putting away the Jumbo Shrimp After treating the rest of the league like their redheaded step-children, BBK gets an extra hour of sleep/prep/pregaming time. Can they accomplish what they set out to do and hoist that Solid, Gold Kickball* at the end of the tourney? They start off with the winner of Big Booty Pitches and Chug Norris at 12. (*Disclaimer: Note the comma kids. The golden kickball is a solid. The golden kickball is gold. The golden kickball is not solid gold.) 2. Kickin and Waffles K&W might never have won by a lot, but they won a lot. Enough to clench the # 2 seeding heading into the tournament. Can they fight the way through the bracket to get a rematch of their only non-win of the season? They don t tee off until 1 pm to take on the winner of Don t Give A Flock and Can t Come on My Base, but they get to determine the fate of Basic Pitches and Money Shots/Jumbo Shrimp at 12. Will the extra time give them a leg up in the competition? 3. Frequency Frequency wrapped up the season scoring more than Wilt Chamberlain in the 60 s (I ll let you steer that analogy whichever way you want). With those kinds of frequent flyer miles, they secured the #3 seed and the first round bye. Will having to wait until 1pm to play cause their hot streak to cool off? I guess we will see when they take on the victor of Boozter Club and Little Flicks. 4. Basic Pitches They might have stumbled during the finish, but Basic Pitches maintained enough momentum to wrap up the regular season at #4 for the final Bye in Round 1. Don t get too excited kids, last one in means first one out.there reffing that is! Afterwards, they will either get a shot at retribution against Money Shots, who squeaked out a victory in the final week, or Jumbo Shrimp. 5. Money Shots No sleeping in for these lovely ladies and gents, as Money Shots gets their journey to Golden Kickball glory started at 11 against Jumbo Shrimp. They found enough of their mojo to finish off Basic Pitches 1-0 last week. Is this a start to a new winning streak for the Green Globlins or will they be pulling out of the competition prematurely? 6. JB Boozter Club The Boozter Club is all jacked up and looking to knock Little Flicks to the Kick out of the playoff picture at 12. They finished off the season winning 2 out of their last 3 and hope to have a little bit of that magic left over for a playoff push. Can JBBC put a damper on Little Flick s party or will they be the ones throwing up deuces? 7. Don t Give a Flock Well well well Don t Give a Flock strung together a late season rally culminating in a 3-game winning streak. Can they keep that drive alive against a CCOMB team whose faces were about as red as their shirts after last week s 16-6 loss. Everyone starts off fresh in the playoffs. Can the Flock take flight early or will they find themselves in a cloud of feathers and shame? 8. Big Booty Pitches The bad news is, BBP ended on a 3 game losing streak. The good news is that really doesn t matter now because it s playoff time! Hopefully, they found some time to put together a solid strategy to get out there so they can shake what their mommas gave them after beating a Chug Norris squad that s been a little down on their luck. 9. Chug Norris How many people looked up Lee Norris to find out you had no idea what Minkus from Boy Meets World real name was? Look at that! You re all set for 90 s trivia nights now. Chug Norris on the other hand is hoping that they re ready for 2017 Playoff afternoon now. They ll be kicking off against Big Booty Pitches. BBP might be giving Chug Norris too big a target for a swift kick and a bounce back. No one keeps Chug Norris down! 10.Can t Come On My Base For future reference, the saying Go out with a bang! usually isn t implying implosion. However, as we have stated a few times above. Playoff date = Clean slate. This squad has the pieces to make some moves, but they re going to have to look for a way to keep DGAF grounded. Otherwise, they might be getting the real life version of a Duck Hunt failure. Not sure if DGAF has a giggling dog though 11. Little Flicks to the Kick The bright side is, Little Flicks have nowhere to go but up after a 6 game losing streak. However, this squad always finds a way to have fun. Winning is fun and it might be time for them to bring out the Big Flicks to the Kick. Perhaps they ve been hustling us all along and now they have everyone right where they want and are ready to strike. The Boozter Club is first on the list to find out if Little Flicks means business or party. 12.Jumbo Shrimp Poor Jumbo Shrimp. There was hope that a bottom-feeding crustacean would not lead us to use a bottom-feeder reference, but they kind of forced our hand here. They kept it close in Week 3 against Money Shots and will look to find a way to tip the scale in their favor. Otherwise, at least they might have learned their lesson about naming themselves after an appetizer.
