Tournament brackets and info

The Congressional Softball League leadership cabal has rigged up the brackets for the 2007 CSL tournament. The Hitmen will play at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, August 18th, on Eakin field #1 in Annandale, Va. Players should be at the field by 10:00 a.m. 9:45 a.m. to meet tournament rules. See CSL directions and maps or customize this Google map.

Thanks to a 12-1 record*, the Hitmen will enter the competition at the second round, playing the winner of the 9-2 Showboats vs. the 1-3-1 Walk Us Caucus. The winner of the Hitmen’s 10:30 a.m. game will be one of 10 teams proceeding to the double-elimination round in September.

During regular season play, the Showboats dropped the infamous Freedom Ticklers 26 to 13.

The Walk Us Caucus’ stellar record includes losses to the COBRAs and Margin of Terror, both of which fell ignominiously to the Hitmen. I.E., we’re way up the food chain. But it doesn’t look like the commish’s softball welfare will do them much good in their matchup against the Showboats anyway.

The CSL tournament actually has rules–like these so-called “balls and strikes”–so be sure to check those out so we don’t suffer another tourney defeat at the hands of an umpire. Also, here are rules about bats and wanted posters of illegal bats. You might recognize one.

*12-1 after adjusting for that whole self-defeat thing.

    Getting there by 9:45 a.m. to qualify, we’ll be able to watch most of the Showboats’ game. It’ll be on the same field.
