We have completed the first round of fall season playoffs and while there were some close games and some tough battles fought at both gyms, only the top 2 teams from each court will advance to the finals next week.

The format will be best of 3 games with the winner of each court advancing to play each other in a best of 3 match.

For those players not playing, we are looking for volunteers to ref, score, and do lines for the final playoff games at either gym on the 18^th. It would be very much appreciated by your fellow players who are playing. If you are willing to do so, please email exec@pcvc.ca with the gym location you can attend.

Standings and Playoffs

A couple of teams were tied in wins and to determine rankings the overall +/- is used as a tiebreaker. These are the final standings after including tie-breakers:

 Congratulations to Team 7 – Seven Deadly Sins for winning the Fall Regular season.  The top 6 teams (i.e. teams 7,5,4,3,12,9) will be playing the top-tier playoffs at Iona. The rest of the teams (i.e. teams 6,1,8,10,11,2) will be playing the consolation tier playoffs at St Paul.  Only those members with 4 or fewer absences are eligible to participate in the playoffs. Anyone ineligible for participation in the playoffs has been notified by email.  If you are unsure of your status, please mail our League Convener, lloyd@pcvc.ca.  The attendance policy is posted here.

Net set-up by Teams: 9 and 2.   Net tear-down by Teams 12 and 11.

The following changes from the regular season rules apply in the playoffs:

1.  The games will be refereed by the team doing scores/lines. 
2. Sideline substitute rule does not apply. All players must be on the roster for the team playing.

At the MGM held on Thursday, November 23^rd a vote was held to decide which of the two proposals for the game format would be adopted. The status quo option was eliminated as a potential choice.  Of the two remining proposals, one proposal was for a 4-game/night format and the other was for a modified 5-game/night format.

The show-of-hands vote was remarkably close and on its own was insufficient to conclusively determine the outcome.  Several votes were submitted on a handwritten note from members who did not attend the MGM, however those submissions could not be verified. As well, some of those members indicated afterward that they weren’t sure of all the available choices.  In addition, some members who did not attend, indicated an oral choice but not in writing.

In light of the voting irregularities, and the closeness of the in-person vote, the executive has determined that to conclusively determine the outcome and to best reflect the intent of the membership on this issue, the proposals will be submitted to a re-vote and will be open for voting to all full members.  The deadline to submit your vote is Friday, December 1^st.

If you are not clear on the proposals or the voting process, please reach out to myself or the exec (exec@pcvc.ca) or feel free to talk to one of the exec on Thursday .

PCVC Members, please check your email for details on how to vote and detailed descriptions of each format.

Results of Vote on Game Format

The vote on the Thursday-night game format ended on Dec 1^st.  Thank-you to everyone who took the time to submit their choice. Here are the results:

Based upon the results we will be returning to the 4-Games/Night format starting in the Winter season.

PCVC will be holding its Mid-Year Meeting on November 23^rd  at the Erin Mills Pump after league play.  We will have Cameron, our treasurer, review our fiscal standing for the last year and in addition it will be an opportunity for the membership to discuss issues which affect the membership and the league.  If you have an issue you want tabled at the MGM for discussion or membership vote, please send it to exec@pcvc.ca by November 12^th.  The MGM will also be incentive night.

Agenda:

1.      Fiscal Update from the Treasurer

2.      Proposals on 5-games/night vs 4 games/night schedule

3.      Proposal on granting non-medical leaves of absence

4.      Proposal on fees paid by executive members

5.      Proposal on accepting past members

6.      Proposal on extending membership to full-season replacement players

7.      Discussion on criteria (ie level of skill) for recruiting new members.

This year the tournaments will be played in one of two locations.  Please make sure you check the location before you go to the tournament.  This is the schedule of tournaments for the year so that you can plan in advance.
