| Playoff
start date announced; no 9/11 rememberance planned
WB2K3 News Special
It
was announced earlier today that the first round games
for the 2003 Playoffs pitting the Holy Whites and Wiffolution
will occur Saturday, September 13th.
And
as an added wrinkle, it's most likely the series will
also END on Saturday, September 13th as well.
"We
need to get this thing rolling," stated Commish
Creighton, after announcing the plans. "If the
series had started earlier, we could afford to go one
game at a time, but that didn't happen, so 'one game
at a time' ain't gonna happen either."
The
Commish did state that teams will have the opportunity
to play Game 3 (if necessary) on Sunday, so long as
two games were played Saturday. He didn't however think
that would happen.
"I'm
assuming--perhaps wrongfully so--that these guys wanna
watch football on Sunday, so I'm guessing the series
will conclude itself Saturday afternoon."
The
best-of-3 series pits the second place Holy Whites (16-17)
against the third place Wiffolution (17-19). The winner
moves on to the Series at the Sac, where they'll face
the first place Road Warriors (23-12) for thechampionship
in a best-of-5 series.
The
Commish fielded questions for a few minutes before retiring
to the bathroom, an apparent diversion that saw him
never return. One of the questions asked what the league
had planned in rememberance of the September 11th attacks
back in 2001.
The
Commish stated that he had no such "festivities"
planned.
