Is Sun City Kickball Fair??

Writing a blog is hard work. But writing a kickball blog is even tougher. Coming up with new fresh ideas on weekly basis is like pitching and kicking at the same time. I usually rely on the games that I head umpire for most of my content, but who in their right minds wants to read a blog about the overrated New Kicks on the Block and the Joke of a team AKA the Violet Femmes?? I sure as hell don't and that's why I won't waste the few brain cells that I still have on that garbage of a game. Instead I want to take look at Sun City Kickball as a league.
The Commish and the all mighty “board” have worked hard together in an effort to create a kickball utopia. They have put in countless hours organizing and promoting Sun City Kickball. After all their hard work, I would have to say that all they have accomplished to built is an average league. Don’t get me wrong. I love everything about SCK except the teams. SCK is like a bosomy chick, it is way to top heavy. The fun clubs or non competitive teams make up over 75% of the current teams. That means that for this season only about 5 maybe 6 squads will have a legitimate shot at the crown. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I see that as unacceptable! There is just no way to get up for the bottom dwellers on a week to week basis. Last week my Shockers played the Warriors and even though we lost, I had a blast. The game was intense and that is feeling that I just don’t get when we play the sucky teams. SCK should really look into a more balanced system that rewards competition. I know that the SCK has no control over who joins their association, but pounding the weak teams is not the solution either.
I think the wins should be weighed accordingly. For example, if you beat the super group, Confused Kixx, you should be rewarded in some way. Maybe with some extra power ranking points or with an extra ½ win, because there is no way that beating the Scoregasms should count as much as beating a quality opponent! A new system is the only fair thing to do. While some teams like New Kicks and Balls & Dolls get fat whooping on all the scrubs, teams like The Monkeys and Warriors have to deal with far superior opponents. A change must take place soon, in order the crate the perfect kickball society. If it only were so simple....I guess I can only dream!!

You know this blog is CRAP when LTA is talking shit on it. All they did was combine two loser teams and make one big All Loser Team. Sorry Awesome's but you won't be winning a kickball championship any time soon.

I agree with the blog completely. If SCK had a system seperating the top teams and the bottom dwellers that would be awesome. I think SCK should have a system similar to the England Soccer leagues, where the top teams play each other and each season the last place team drops to a lower level. And then the other teams can play each other in the other two groups trying to fight for the right to move up. SCK has three fields, there should be 3 seperate groups, 1 having the best teams (Shockers, Balls & Dolls, Monkeyz), 2 having the middle level teams (I'd Hit It, 1 More Shot, LTA), and 3 having the rookie teams and bottom dwellers (Violet Femmes).

I've been wanting to seperate the divisions by skill level for awhile now. However we just haven't found the right format for it. I'm not familiar with the England Soccer leagues, but I'm willing to take a look at it and see if we can apply it to our league. It's all a matter of sitting down with the coaches and decide on how we want to do it. So if this is something everyone would like to see please push your coaches. Also if you get a chance, pull aside a board member and let them know this is something you would like to see. The more support there is to change something, the more likely it will happen.

Come on guys/gals I think you all need to man the fuck up! Booohooo we should split up the team’s cuz we are playing hard teams… If the league was split up into three groups then a good team who should have a shot at a championship would be knocked out and would be replaced with a crappy team so…. I really don’t see how this would solve the problem. I do know that rich and the committee are doing a great job at trying to make our league fair and I applauded their hard work. Well I am not a gonna bash other peoples ideas with out putting my own ideas for people to bash….. so here I go, being that the power of each kickball team oscillates each year trying to group each team before the season starts is hard to do. I think that the regular season should be set up as rankings and on day of the championship games all the teams should play in a single elimination bracket play based off of the rankings… ummm yup I think that would work…. but to say what would work best is hard to say.
Lol and to the LTA Nation you guys are Special Olympic FUCKING GAY!!!!

i would say just keep it random. make the 3 groups however you may please, and then once the playoffs start.. have the matches be determined randomly. that way no one can complain about having a bad spot on the overall standings because their team was playing against power houses or vice versa.
cuz in my opinion there is no way of predicting how teams are gonna behave each season. we have seen great teams get beaten by "weak" teams.. rookie teams that are serious business... and stuff like that... so my suggestion is: make it random
