Strategies

All right, we need to organize.

I hang out at dodgeballer.com so when one of their topics about "strategy" came up and it received almost 45 comments...I had to read.

It was pretty good, I encourage all the other rogers to read it and we can form a team strategy from it later. My personal favorite was the "endurance" plan. Our weaker throwers go up and just kind play with the opposing team, causing them to try to rush us and tire themselves out. Halfway through the game our strong throwers step up and mop up. Brilliant.

you can read it here.

Now read it, then comment here, I sense an actual discussion going on in the comments...unless you're all fags.

Mandan Update

I finally figured out the times for the rest of the league.

April 4th- 7:45 Vs Mooseknuckles

April 11th- 7:00 Vs Westside

April 18th- 7:00 Vs STQ

April 25th and May 2nd- Single elemination tournament

The mooseknuckles and Westside are the 2 top rated teams in the league, STQ is in dead last. I think if we can just hold our own and go 5-4 against the Moose and West, we can come out on top in this league. But that's just me, I have something called "faith," but im crazy like that.

At the end of the league I have a feeling the Underground is going to open up again. Let the people know...

U-Mary Tournament update

The gold has been acquired, the Jolly Rogers are indeed the number one team in all of Bismarck. Now if we could just get that "State" title....

We got "God's child project" T-shirts, $40 at the Green mill, as well as a shiny gold trophy. Hopefully by the end of the year we'll have enough trophies to make a decent stack.

Bye week this week for the mandan league.

Mandan League Update

Next Week (March 28) The Jolly Rogers have a bye. So No D-ball to those who are wondering, the week after however, we play the Mooseknuckles.

*Dramatic Sports Music Ensues*

Our Arch-Rivals, the Mooseknuckles, will meet us on the Dodgeball battlegrounds on April 4th. I can feel a tail gate party brewing in me already. BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE GAME OF THE CENTURY.

If you're interested in keeping track of the JR's in their pursuit for Gold in the Mandan League you can follow it here every week.

For the record their rules are gay and so are the balls. So that would explain why we're not in first.

Also below are the "rules," I use that term loosely, for the U-Mary Tournament on March 25th. Its really more of an activity planner than anything else. Read it below, that is all Rogers, now rest up, we have victory to attain on Saturday.

the Jolly Rogers want YOU!!!!

The Jolly Rogers have about 3 open spots on their team for the Mandan League. In fact by the time you read this we'll only have about 1. It's a 7-man league and 2 of our regulars can't make it, apprarently that's their "Bareback" night or something, I didn't get all the details. If you're interested just leave a comment, prefrence will be given to those who bought a shirt.

this is a TEMP position, not a permanent part of the team.

Money Issues

I just thought i'd let everyone know that Alex K and Tyler V had to front all the remaining cash for the entry fee to Mandan's league. This makes everyone else gay by standard, also...

The new shirts that are being Made...

Alex K and Tyler V are getting theirs free

Those who contributed were going to get free shirts, I planned this in advance, and if everyone contributed everyone would get at least a discount. But not anymore, because only Alex and Tyler are cool.
