CLEVELAND KICK OFF CLASSIC

[CREE]

I think that's the problem... it varies even from ref to ref, not region to region. I like a ref that is consistent. There are a few in Knoxville. Can't say about the other regions, though.

 

AMEN!!! Being in between Chatt and Knox--we see some from each region. There are some very good ones in both Knox and chatt. However, there are some very bad ones as well. I would love just to see some consistency.

Rain has rearranged the schedule!! You had better check your local listings--lol.

BUT this gives us more time to play FIFA '09 and Apples to Apples!

[CREE]

What is Apples to Apples?

[arsenal4]

Each player is dealt seven "red apple" cards; on each is printed a noun or noun phrase (such as "Madonna", "Canada", "The Spanish Inquisition", "Michael Jackson", etc.).

 

The judge (a chosen player) draws a "green apple" card on which is printed an adjective ("scary", "frightening", "patriotic", etc.), and places it face-up on the table for everybody to see. Then each player (except the judge) chooses a card that they think is the best match for the green apple card, and places it face-down. The judge shuffles the red apple cards, reads them (often aloud), and decides which noun is the best match for the adjective. This decision is subjective; the official rules encourage the judge to pick the match that is "most creative, humorous or interesting". Some might think it humorous if "mud" is played for delicious, and might give that player the point.

 

The player who submitted the chosen red apple card wins the round, and takes the green apple card to signify the win. All players then draw red cards until they have seven again, and the role of "judge" may pass to another person (generally going to the next player in line, though some rules have the round's winner becoming "judge"). Some editions of the game suggest discounting the last red-apple card played, to encourage players to place their cards down more quickly.

 

The winner is the first player to accumulate a pre-designated number of green apple cards; the more players, the lower the total.

 

 

Pretty fun!

The Alcoa and Cleveland game should be an interesting one.

[CREE]

The Alcoa and Cleveland game should be an interesting one.

 

The Blue Raiders had better not underestimate Alcoa. They are a good team.

I think I'll stick with Fifa... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

 

Looking at the radar, I would be surprised if they could get the rest of the games in. With it being the 3rd and 4th games in the tournament, you sure don't want to risk injuring an already fatigued player on a water soaked field.

 

Keep safe, either way. Good luck!

Alcoa withdrew from the tournament this morning with the weather forecast and field conditions so unfortunately we will not get in the Ooltewah or Cleveland match. I was not going to risk the chance for nonconcact injuries on the wet pitch. It looked like the alternate site was holding up well, but I didn't see that until after I had made the final call. I hope we didn't cause an inconvenience to the teams we were going to face. I know Ooltewah faced ravenwood in our place, i just wasn't playing the chance game the first week of the season and since we are in the middle of our 2 week spring break, I had promised parents the boys were free after tonights games, so we couldn't postpone till tomorrow. My apologizes again.

 

It was still an awesome experience and hope to come back next year. Cleveland set this up amazing for the first go around and I could see the field being bigger and stronger in future years (I think this years group was pretty strong to begin with). Good luck to everyone the rest of the year!!!
