Update on Uniforms
Hi all,
Just wanted to update all teams who are waiting for their uniforms. We got an update from the vendor and the uniforms are scheduled to arrive towards end of July. As soon as they arrive we will let the teams know on when and where to pick up their uniforms from.
Once we are done handing out uniforms we will initiate the process of targetting the next 2 divisions for uniform. Thank you for your patience.
If you have any questions let us know.
Thanks
ARCL Management

Format Change for ARCL for Next Year
[team contacts and yahoo gorup in bcc]
Hi all,
Over the years ARCL has grown from a handful of teams to a record 90 teams for Summer 2010 season. With so many teams signing up and for various reasons pointed out below starting Spring 2011, we'll go back to our original format of 8 teams per division. We are doing this for the following major reasons.
1.
Few available grounds
2.
Increasing ground costs
3.
Longer season
This will reduce number of matches per team only by 2 but overall huge reduction in matches and cost. With current format we are playing 425 matches with this format we'll play 325 matches. Due to scarce grounds, last season took 5 months. With new format we should be able to complete it in 4 months. With less number of matches, we should be able to cover the cost with $325.00 as league fees. We might see a small increase in fees to cover for grasslwan and perigo parks.
The attached TenToEightDivFormat.xls explains the rankings process which will be done after summer 2010 season for Spring 2011. Also see below the details on 8 Div Format which we had 3 yrs back.
Details on ground cost:
·
Early this yr we got Marymoor back and it has gone to $45 from $30 which was 2 yrs back.
·
Early this year Ronregis went from $19 to $24
·
We raised the league fee to $325 to cover the above cost
·
Last month Grasslwan, Perigo went from 24 to 35; this wasn't included in the current league fees.
·
New ground Hartman park is also $35
8 teams per Div Format:
·
The rules will be the same as when we had it 3 yrs back.
·
At the end of the season top 3 teams will move up and bottom 3 will move down
·
How top 3 will be decided:
o
It will be decided by the results of semis and finals
o
Top 4 teams based on average will qualify for semis
o
The Team which wins the championship will be rank 1 and the runners-up wi

Thanks to ARCL Players for helping ARCL
Hi Nipun/Vishwa/Ankur and Sandeep.
ARCL would like to thank you for helping the league and ensuring the matches were not impacted this weekend.
·
Vishwa and Nipun who were the umpires, managed the situation and moved the 12:45 game to ground 5.
·
Ron regis was available so 3:15 game was moved over there. Vishwa and Nipun then travelled to ron regis for the umpiring as well.
·
Sandeep and Ankur helped us with the 5:45 game. If this game would have been cancelled then next day 2 semis would have been cancelled too. Sandeep went to the ground at 2pm and checked out the field, spoke to event mgr and got a confirmation that it will be cleared by 4pm. Ankur also spoke to security which were of no help in this situation.
Folks like you are the reason we have been able to carry on for so long and to acknowledge your help and support ARCL will send you guys a $25 gift certificate as a token of our appreciation.
Thanks
ARCL Management
