Tournament of Champions Tourney - Rained Out |
|
After years of public safety softball tournaments Mother nature finally decided to open her skies and deliver the very first Guns & Hoses "Rain Out". The weather looked questionable, but we were optimistic with only a 30% chance of rain in the later afternoon. Unfortunately the rain came early and shifted south so it didn't take long for the already saturated fields to become flooded making play impossible. We were officially shut down by the parks department before the first games ended.
The obvious million dollar question now is, "Will the tournament be rescheduled?" The answer is, YES! we are currently trying to plan a new TOC date in the very near future. We are at the mercy of Fountain Valley Parks and Recreation and dates are tough to come by considering fields are typically booked a year in advance. As soon as we schedule a NEW TOC date we will immediately post the new date on the website.
The good news is that this should enable the teams that were "On the Fence" with injured and sick players to attend the rescheduled event. On behalf of Mother Nature we apologize for this inconvenience. Thanks for all your patience and understanding.

Oktoberfest '11 - Tourney Recap |
|
The annual Oktoberfest tournament marked the end of the 2011 Guns & Hoses "regular season" leaving only the coveted TOC season finale. This 8th of 9 events was played on the heels of the September tournament the weekend before. As we all know this isn't very conducive for public safety scheduling but unfortunately we have to play second string to all the youth sports and city leagues. We will continue to aim for holding tourneys the first or second weekend of each month in the future. Having only 8 days in between tourneys essentially created a "split" with tourney attendance.
With a total of only 12 teams we were forced to go with one single division instead of our usual 3 separate divisions. The good news was, we changed our standard playoff format from single elimination to double elimination in order to provide even more games for the teams in attendance to prepare for the TOC.
This years Oktoberfest tournament took place at the Huntington Beach Sports Complex. The games were played under beautiful blue skies with perfect fall weather temperatures. The all day long action saw plenty of tight battles, close scores and great camaraderie as always is always witnessed in Guns & Hoses.
The usual G & H vibe was buzzing and thumping, both on and off the field, with pumping tunes and the girls from the "Massage Zone" doing their thing. Teams were locked in heated competition battling for a case of celebratory Jagermeister to help jump start the Oktoberfest-ivities and ring in their Guns & Hoses glory. |
