Regionals

While Regionals for most regions are this weekend the Praries had their Regionals at Flatlands last weekend. In case you didn’t spot it Mark Lloyd of General Strike posted this comment providing a recap of Open: Prarie Regional Update: Tommy Douglas Dream Machine from Saskatoon stayed home earning the 3rd seed. General Strike and Mangina played for the first spot out of the praries. Mangina was down a few players which really showed as strike went up 6-1 early on and cruised to victory.

Are you heading into town for Regionals to watch or support your team? Will you be taking photos? Writing any blog entries? Wanting to write blog entries? If so then please let me know so that I may link to your photos or blog during or after Regionals. Photographers: There are no official photographers for the event so all are welcome to shoot games. Please check with teams as to how close you can get to the fields, I suspect that none will mind if you’re right on the line.

Ontario: Location for Regionals will be made available early next week. Prairies: Regina Masters have withdrawn their bid. Winnipeg will be entering a second Junior’s team.

The CUC has updated their Regionals pageand while details are still slim the following details are available: Alberta, July 11th and 12th for all divisions. Ontario, July 11th and 12th for all divisions. Prairies, July 4th and 5th (likely at Flatlands) for Master’s, Open, and Women’s. Quebec, July 11th and 12th for all divisions other than Juniors.

Quite a few folks have been asking me what date Ontario Regionals will be on and also whether I know where it is. I’m mostly in the dark just like everybody else but here’s what I do know (from reliable sources): “Aiming for Regionals on the July 11th weekend”. Trying to have all of the divisions at one location. Rumored locations that I’ve heard about include: Hamilton, Barrie, and Kingston.
