New Umpire- Ricky Zambrano is a FAS Umpire with multiple years of experience and will be a good fit for our league. Ricky will be umpiring on Monday nights and Nancy Peterson will umpire Tuesday nights. So Welcome to the CFSL Family Ricky and Welcome Back Nancy. We now have two umpires who have Softball Umpire experience and the right demeanor and personalities for our league.
Brand New Team- Lets welcome our New Team Redeeming Grace Church (RGC) who will be run by Spencer Collier who had played for Creed the last 5 years.
Two Teams Merge- Jubilee and Burke Saints have decided to merge into One Team for the upcoming season. They will be called (JBS) going forward. Kevin-Kyle and myself think it's a great thing for our league and for both of those teams. In the past 5 years both teams lost key players and were having issues getting players on the field every week. So now these two teams can put together one good team for the 2025 season and beyond.
BCC New Leadership- I would like to Welcome Will Wardlaw-Jacob Ferguson-Luke Ferguson to our CFSL Family.

1st Round of the Playoffs will start Tuesday May 30th and Thursday June 1st
Playoff Schedule will be released Tuesday May 23 after 11pm
Captains-Umpires-Players,
Reminder any Rain Outs the next two weeks will be moved to the next available Thursday night(Same Game Times). Meaning it could happen the same week. The weather looks good for tonight so the games should be played. Tomorrow they are calling for 60% chance of Rain in the afternoon. So if you are playing tomorrow night(South Run-B.United-BCC-B.Saints) there is a chance you could get Rained Out and moved to Thursday May 18. So start getting prepared just in case the weather cancels tomorrow night.
We want our Regular Season to be finished next week by no later then Thursday May 25(Weather Permitting). So we can start our 1st round of the Playoffs Tuesday May 30 and Thursday June 1. The reason for a Thursday June 1(1st Round of playoffs) (Games 1-2)(Bracket A or B)(The #1 seed will pick what night and game times they want to start their playoffs). Some captains have stated they do not want to even try to field a team on Monday May 29 Memorial Day. So we can't have May 29 and June 1 off in the same week and just have 4 teams play Tuesday May 30. This would cause teams to sit around for weeks waiting to play Playoff Games. Down time between playoff games causes players to lose interest and teams start falling apart. This is why we acquired Thursday nights back in 2021. This will allow us to keep the season going without major interruptions to our regular season and playoffs. And hopefully we can have our playoffs done before July 1st so everyone can enjoy their summer vacations.
REMINDER-Any nights where we have 3 or less games being played all games will be No Time Limit with Mercy Rule in Place. Where we have 4 Games being played we need to have the 55 minute time limit in place to complete 4 games in the (6:45-11pm timeframe before the lights go out at the field)
If everything goes as planned this would be the First Round Playoff Schedule
#1 Seed will pick the night and game times they want to start the Playoffs
Bracket A- #1 vs #8 and #4 vs #5 on the same night
Bracket B- #2 vs #7 and #3 vs #6 on the same night
Tuesday May 30(1st Round Games 1-2)(55 minute Time Limit with Mercy Rule)
Game Times-6:45-7:45 and 8:45-9:45
Thursday June 1(1st Round Games 1-2)(55 Minute Time Limit with Mercy Rule)
Game Times-6:45-7:45 and 8:45-9:45
Monday June 5 any Game 3's from the first round(No Time Limit with Mercy Rule) or start of the Semi-Final Series. We will know the June 5th schedule after the results from May 30 and June 1st.
We will only use Thursday nights during the Semi-Finals and Championship Series if we get Rained Out on Both Monday and Tuesday night in the same week. We DO NOT want to go weeks between Playoff Games.
Thanks and good luck to all teams this week

Captains-Players-Umpires,
Monday May 30th(Memorial Day)
We will be using Monday May 30(Memorial Day) as a Game Night. Only if we are still in the Regular Season(Making Up Rain Outs) or finishing up the 1st round of the playoffs. If we are in the Semi-Finals or Finals May 30th will be an off night because we will be on schedule to finish the season prior to July 1st. So my suggestion would be to start telling your players to keep Monday May 30 available just in case games are scheduled.
Thursday Nights during the Playoffs
Concerning Thursday nights during the playoffs. Any First Round deciding Game 3 or First Round Rain Out Night will be played on a Thursday night. So we can get the first round done in one week or 3 nights. For the Semi-Finals and Finals we will only use Thursday Nights if we get Rained Out on both Monday and Tuesday during the same week. Like we discussed at our March Meeting. We do not want to go weeks without playing games during the playoffs. The players start losing interest and the playoffs start dragging into July where most players are taking family vacations.
B.Saints have forfeited their May 5 games to Jubilee. The B.United-IBC games will be moved up to a 8pm start time on Thursday May 5.
April 26th Games will be played Thursday May 12th.
April 5th games moved to Thursday April 21st(same game times)-Check Schedule
Thursday April 14th will be a Team Practice Night(6pm-11pm) for all Teams
