I was talking with a N/NS BOD and it looks like interleague may be off this season and here are the reason I was given!!!!1-They want to play within there division more then once...OK I understand this, the A/AE would also like to do this however we are willing to put aside our desire to do this in favor of the kids having a great time as they did last year. All 4 leagues would be in the City tourney with 2 teams from each league just like last year ? 19 game season 2-I was told the A/AE would dominate the N/NS and they did not want to as it was put to me " get rolled over " I say have a little faith in your kids and ask them what they want to do...not what its going look like from a coaches point of view.... remember its for the kids.... or is IT!!!!!!!!!

What a bunch of crap is right! I believe that the BOD voted in favor of interleague so when did that change? Interleague is the best thing to happen to LL baseball in Turlock in many years.

Interleague is the best thing to have happened to Turlock LL in years. True, I'd like to play teams within my division more than once - but I'd rather play everyone in town once rather than drop interleague...

I loved interleague too. But let's take a look at the math.
IF we take the 4 leagues individually Each league can each other twice and every body once and still be around 24 - 26 games.
NS 3 Teams -- would 6 games against each other and then another 16 against the rest. That's with National having 8 teams.
National 8 teams - 14 games against each other and 11 games playing everybody else once.
American East 4 teams --8 games with league and 15 games against eveybody else
Same with Amercian.
So National would have to play 25 games to everybody elses 22-23 games. If we wanted to play NS twice that would make 28 games.
I'm all for it. Randy put the schedule together and see how it looks. I'm sure that you can get someone from National to help you out.

24-26 games is too many. Why do you have to play every team in your own league twice? A 19 game schedule should be plenty of games.

I already did the schedule playing every team one time and it comes out to 19 games. This also gives you time to do TOC, The City tourney and have a week before all stars. Now we have came up with a few options to make this work. I just need a firm # of teams from the N/NS.

Randy I really like what we talked about earlier today from the National, NS point of view. Nationals play everyone in their division twice, National South 1 time and then we play either the American or AE once. NS can play the other division. NS may want to play both of you guys instead of each other so many times. This will give National 21 games and NS 22 games and everyone is happy ;D

19 games is perfect and playing everyone once eliminates tie-breakers. The best two teams from each league will make-play-offs anyway and the second season is what really matters. Why do things always have to get complicated??? Randy has a schedule ready to go - let's play ball

Absolutely ridiculous Jim. Once against every other team in the city is as equitable as it can possibly be. Is N/NS trying to see how many insipid decisions they can make in a single season. Geez! Congratulations on besting last year's A/AE BOD for stupid decision making.

Folks it seems Each BOD should ID two members to make up an interleague sub committee and figure this out. Pretty basic. But, interleague is the best thing to happen for youth Turlock Little League we gotta make this happen.

What are our choices? 1. Play teams within your division twice. Not good. 23 - 25 games is more than most families want and will also increase operating costs. 2. Have "inter-league" and not play every team in TLL. Doesn't work b/c it creates an unbalanced schedule which will inevitably tilt the odds in favor of some teams b/c by luck of the draw they get an easier schedule. 3. Play every team once. 4. Go back to the old way and play only teams in your own league. It’s a no-brainer folks. Play every team in TLL once. No one can argue it’s not fair. Mano e mano – as it should be! Let’s get the games scheduled and move on… Or perhaps someone can explain how playing every team once isn't the best scenario? ??

One time does seem to be the choice. However, I know in the past we have looked forward to seeing in division match ups a second time. If one time goes, perhaps the division games happen at the end of season to keep the interest and predications going since those games are the ones that count for division rankings and playoff appearances. This also allows teams to work out the bugs during interleague for a good showing at year end.

Keep inter-league alive with the exception of the Angels and Tigers. Have them just play within their own division. They say the National league doesn't want blow-outs and that is why they don't want to play the east, then I guess the city championship shouldn't be played either. I blame Greenie for this whole mess......talk a bunch of smack and then run with your head between your legs. How will you manipulate all-stars? That's right you don't want them to win because it might interfere with football.hehehehehehehe
