Hey all,

I would really like it if we manage to make it this winter 😁  
Maus proposed a single shuffle Format. That has the advantage of minimal organising logistics.

1.Who would like to participate in a winter league?  
2.Who would like to help with organisation?  
3.What format, drawing mode etc should we choose?

Please write your opinions!

1. juhu! i would be up for a winter league, single shuffle or with teams.

2. unfortunately i don’t think i have ressources to participate in organisation, except for reffing when i’m at the court.

3. if it is a team winter league i think we could profit a lot from actively communicating. but i can totally see the point of making it super hard to find fitting dates!

for single shuffle player i think we need certain rules, especially when it comes to counting the number of games. will it be relatively counted? or do you need a certain number of games? do we want to fix beforehand winter league dates? who keeps track? how will the shuffle happen? i am totally fine if people who are motivated in organizing decide these things, if it will be a fair system :)  
unfair would be for me, if every game counts absolutely and if it is not beforehand communicated that there will be winter league games.

I also cant organize but like the idea

I think Single Shuffle is the easiest way to go  
If there’s a defined number if rounds for everyone it should be possible to set the paperwork and leave it in the box.

Hope we can find someone who feels responsible 😉

Hey Vienna players,  
At our plenum last sunday we agreed to try to make a winter league happen this year! 🥳 ❄  
Every BPV player who signs up until **end of november** may participate. There will be a trophy for the **ICE QUING** 💠 💠 💠.  
**How it works** : The league starts in december and runs until end of march ( **31.3.2025** ). It will be in **single player shuffle** format, so every player **collects points** during league sessions (send all results to me!). That means the more you play, the bigger your chances for the trophy get 🤩 **League sessions** can be declared spontaneously, as long as a **minimum of 6 participants** are present and non-participants still have enough playing time (talk it out!).  
Please write to me if you want to participate.  
If you have any suggestions, feel free to share 🧡  
Let’s make this a hot, exciting winter! 🔥 🚴‍♂️ 🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♂️

Is there also a price for the person who plays the least the “Couch Quing” for example ? 😉

Hey hey, Winter League players (or should I say pretty much all of BPV 🤪)!  
Thank you for signing up, let’s get this winter thing going 🥶 🚴‍♂️ 🚴‍♀️ 🚴🏾‍♀️  
Quick **update** : league games are possible during every session beginning on **monday, december 2nd**.  
As I’m the one responsible for keeping track, please **send all the dates and game stats to me** 💡 if I’m not present at the court.  
To address some important questions regarding fairness such as

> [@haski](#):
>
> will it be relatively counted? or do you need a certain number of games?

I would like to clarify a setup that should work (I think): Since almost everyone is participating, I don’t think there will be any concerns about declaring league games spontaneously. However, the number of games played by each participant should be distributed **equally**  **during one session** , in a way that everyone present (counting the official playing time from beginning to end!) gets an equal amount of games.  
I understand the point that it would be easier to balance the number of games played by fixing a number of total games or setting up specific dates for league games.  
BUT: the whole point of the WINTER LEAGUE 💠 💠 💠 is to motivate people to come to the court, no matter what ❄ ❄, and I think this setup is a good way to get there.

> [@haski](#):
>
> how will the shuffle happen?

Similar to normal pickup shuffles: 6-18 players → big shuffle with added mini shuffle (the players shuffled in with the mini shuffle count their games as real league games); \>18 players–\> 🤣

Please write your opinions, objections, etc. I will try to take all concerns into account.  
Can’t wait to get started!!

PS: Trophy’s in the making… 👸 🤴 🏆  
💡 game stats per player: 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, # of goals scored, # of goals against, # of games played.

edit: Will share a link here to a spreadsheet with current standings as soon as it’s ready (excel pros please dm me! 😅)

Hey you furry winter mittens 😊  
Winter is coughing out its last icycles ❄ 🌨 and spring will be here soon!  
A little update on the League so far:  
There have been 7 sessions so far, a lot of participants and an overall pretty high attendance during winter season (especially compared to some of the past years!).  
So, to round it off, I would really like to set a date to make a little mini-tournament with (quarter-?), semis and finals. Would **Friday, 21 march** be a good day? It’s the official end of winter, so we start spring season right then and there 😊 🌱

There will be prizes for:

- The Ice Quing 💠 (overall winner)
- The Avalanche ❄ 🌊(most goals scored)
- The polar bear 🐑 (MVP)
- The snowplow 🚜 (most sessions/games)
- The golden couch potato 🥔 (most points with least sessions)  
… (further suggestions welcome!)

I will post a poll in the chat for the finals day, let’s see!  
Polohugs!
