[PDSL] Playoff Update

Much thanks to all PDSL members as we finish up the current Fall 2011 season.  Information about the Spring 2012 season will be announced soon, but please be aware that we are restructuring a few things that will result in a later start than previous years, so stay tuned.

All Fall 2011 Playoff Details are available on the league website - Click Here

Reminders and Updates:
  • Bracket Reps must make sure that all players in their group are made aware of playoff details, eligibility and RSVP deadline.  You may download a playoff flyer from the league website and hand it to each player to make sure everyone is aware of proper procedures.
  • Please remember that all match reports must be filed by the RSVP deadline, December 31, 2011.
  • Unlike previous seasons the draw for this season's playoffs will not be published in advance as the draw will take place same day as the regional playoffs to eliminate byes from last minute withdrawals.
  • Also, the venue for the Central League Championships on February 4th will take place at the British Club in Manchester, CT.
If you plan to attend, please make sure you have sent your RSVP confirmation to Mark Clifford at markc@doublecork.com . Failure to do so will result in your exclusion from this event.  Bracket reps should poll their group and make sure that RSVPs are submitted by the deadline.

PLEASE NOTE: It is imperative that players share this information in their bracket and help those without email or computer access to stay informed.
