B-Pool finals locale scenarios

[Jason Toothy]

Option 1: Crane beats Tolland - pHill awarded finals location pick - WOODLAND VALLEY
Option 2: Tolland beats Crane - pHill/Tolland consensus - pHill recommends: MAPLE HILL or TULLY, if MH is cool with Tolland, we can roll with that. If not, I'm open to some other suggestions.

The purpose of this thread is to facilitate constructive dialogue between pHill and Tolland so the league has an idea where finals will be without waiting until the Crane/Tolland matchup has been decided.

but first...
TOLLAND - PICK A DATE TO PLAY CRANE AND QUIT STALLING

[Pete Charron]

Toothy bro, way to be on the ball and get rollin' but you're crushing my pull with those punks for our challenge...

Good looks on the thread though.. Quicker you two teams get it worked out the better... Even if it does mean that we'll have to pander to TT on the date of our challenge...

If we're going up to WV though it would be nice to have as much time as possible to be able to plan for that..

[Steve Solbo]

Seriously, why do the mainers always have to bring people up to maine to pay-to-play courses for finals, this isn't a money making venture, finals should ideally be located centrally, not as far away from everybody as possible.

[Jason Toothy]

<--- Solbo

Then a centrally-located team should have had the best record so they could pick it. It's in the rules, and since we're playing to get a shot at a-pool, we wanted an advantage. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I could care less, b/c when you get a taste of the A pool, you won't be picking anything. Hell, I predict a short visit.

[Titan Bariloni]

naw they are pretty legit! and crush dubz the most important place to crush IN TC

not sure this is their thought process..and no matter where they play $$$ would need to go for permit,fees anyways

so the entire league is rooooting for TT except PH! so no drive to ME

TOLLAND - PICK A DATE TO PLAY CRANE AND QUIT STALLING

K.... just so we're clear. What I'm hearing you say is that if we lose and you get to pick finals location then screw all of us....we're all driving to maine and we're playing at a course no one's ever played at. Oh yea, and bring some cabbage cuz we'll have to pay to get in.

But if we win and our teams are tied, then you're all about being diplomatic and our two teams should work together to hash out a course.

K..lemme digest this a bit and ill brb.

[Daniel Mack]

Yeah...after giving it some thought I think I have a better idea. Why don't we just pick the location which will be roughly somewhere around a couple hundred miles closer for everyone else invloved, and you can go dig a hole?

[Jason Toothy]

Because...

With Pleasant Hill and Tolland all knotted up at the top we are only going to have a short time to plan finals. Its the top 6 teams which is also up in the air with so many 2-2 teams.
Still, could we get a short list of courses so the endless fighting about finals can be resolved before it hits the open TC forum? I really think both teams will end up tied at 5-0 so maybe you can come to a consensus on where it will be if you are tied. Even better if we could know where TT would pick if they won it all; Where PH would pick if they win it all;what the choice would be if tied.

Truth is, you haven't won it all. You can't win it all. The best you can do is tie us for best record. If that's the case, we will come up with a neutral site we agree upon. Why would we pick a course where everyone in MA has home field advantage when A-pool is on the line? There's my logic. Now go talk to your captain and figure some things out, there's no need to continue to delay everything you have anything to do with.

[jim tufts]

I can teach a few heads around here how to tie a real fashionable noose if you'd like to do us all a favor. I'll even kick the chair FOR FREE.

1.We WIN simple (TT still has to loose 1st)
2. This isn't about $$$ and pay to play.
3. If TT looses we have EARNED the right for the rest of the league to travel

4. Steve WTH do you care about the B pool any way? Wait is it cause you miss it? It is isn't you just want to play in the B pool again.
can't wait to see what you say to this

[Titan Bariloni]

can't wait to see what you say to this

he will say he never played in the B pool..he has always played since it was 1 league and when pools split he was always A pool

but he is DEF B pool skilled player...lol..wait till he responds to that

Nope. Could give 2 [bleep]. Never been in the B pool, wouldnt know how cool it is. Care b/c next year, place and time of finals will be announced preseason, and the mainers will complain, since it's gonna be centrally located. Thats what I have to say. Unlike the Maine "STATE" Teams, Burgess has been around since day one.

pHill would crush Burgess at their home course. Just sayin'

[Dave Jackson]

Finals in Maine could be fun.
They would be a lot closer in central MA for several teams though.

Do teams that finish 2-3 get to even spectate at finals??

B-Pool finals at least

What the hell are the teams with crappy records gonna do??

Keg stands??
Prepare for next year???
Practice

[Jason Toothy]

It broke my heart to have to eliminate Maple from finals. I wish we could have at least given you some lobsters as a parting gift, you earned it, Dave. You beat Clec-one of our best secret weapons.

I highly doubt this.

[Jason Toothy]

I mean, yeah, we'd win... But "crush", not so sure. Ass shlong ass Burgess sits Solb-wah, they would have a shot.

[Todd Lapham]

Might have to set up an off season showdown!

[Jason Toothy]

I'd like that!

And yet again, the ancillary cacophony of bs completely obfuscates the intended purpose of this thread... D Mack... Maurer... Are you going to play nice or what?

[Todd Lapham]

Yeah compromise on something asap so the other 2 can pick another location. Tolland cool with Maple Hill if you both finish 5-0? If so, you'll have that reserved and we can get going on the other locations.

[Steven Dakai]

I do not want to go to Maine. However, if PH is the top team they deserve an advantage in finals. So they get to choose the location.
It is the only thing the winners get.
If Tolland wins and goes 5-0. maybe they can draw it closer to CT! I would love that. Maybe they wont,who knows.

Pioneer Brewery is also a great course with even more amenities than Maple. More parking,bathrooms,electricity,kitchen,pavillion and a brewery. TOP THAT!?!?!?!

[Kelly Conroy]

I can assure you that Noho does not want to drive to ME for this. Also I don't think it's fair to make 75 people drive 5 hours to play in B pool finals and almost force them to pay for hotels or leave at 3 in the morning. This is my opinion, and I am well aware that some people may not agree. Opinion stated.

[jim tufts]

Suck less. Finals in YOUR backyard. End of story. Sorry it had to be put that way... obviously it's not understood in any prior language.

Don't take from us what we've worked our asses off all year for. Thanks.

Give me a break. "Suck less". Do you think that MA would draw killer teams if we condensed elite talent into two teams? Get over yourself man.

Everyone agrees.

[jim tufts]

I apologized. Obviously you don't get it.

Again, stop trying to detract from our success as a team.

Ps. You've got a 3.5 hr drive to Limerick, ME. If you left at 3am, you'd be pretty early. I'd suggest leaving at 4.

If you did some math and considered the population in Maine versus Mass, NY, CT, you'd find that our two teams have a pretty similar ratio in players versus population.

[jim tufts]

Perhaps Massachusetts should condense some teams if you're going to take it so seriously in the end.

I wouldn't object, and there would be a lot better competition in the B pool...

Why not take an idea like that and run with it instead of blaming US for this situation. That's called forward thinking. What's going on right now is called bitching.
