London Wiffleball Tournament Date Announced

The long awaited date for the 14th annual London Wiffleball Tournament was finally released a couple of days ago - July 14 (Saturday). Brian Wheeler, the tournament's organizer, emailed us with the date and his hopes for it this year. Some leading commissioners of leagues in the NWLA that went to the tournament last year plan on getting more leagues involved. The plan is to get as many NWLA teams together the following Sunday to play each other. The event could also serve as a meet and greet that would otherwise never take place. Wheeler said in his email that he will cooperate with the NWLA in their efforts to play on July 15. Leagues with teams that plan on attending include, Wiffle in SouthEast Michigan, Potomac Wiffleball League, Kalamazoo Wiffleball League, HRL: Twin Cities, Ontario County Wiffle Association, National Wiffleball League, and Suburban Chicago Wiffleball League. If this occurred, it would be the largest known summit for independent wiffleball leagues to ever take place - a truly historic event. More details on this event as the tournament date comes nearer.

A little taste...

As some of you may know, the second issue of the Wiffler's Digest magazine will be out at the end of this month or the first week of September. We've finished contributing all the content and are now waiting for it all to be assembled. It's a long and painful process but I think everyone's hard work will pay off for this issue. So what all is in the upcoming issue? Well I won't spoil everything but I will tell you that there is some coverage of the London Wiffleball Tournament that I, and some of the writers, attended. There's also some opinionated articles along with part one of a fictional wiffleball series and a review of the movie Screwball: The Ted Whitfield Story. But it's not just articles, there's actually a quiz in this issue and a couple more wiffle related ads. While I won't link you any of the content in the new magazine, I do hope you enjoy a preview of the cover. Those of you who have emailed us and wanted to subscribe to the magazine will be the FIRST ones to read the new magazine before it is uploaded in .jpg form onto our Picasa photo album. For best quality, I strongly suggest you subscribe so you can have it in .pdf form - it's much nicer. Just email us at wifflersdigest@gmail.com and say you want the magazine. That's it!

Also, for all you stragglers out there...if you either "like" us on facebook or "follow" us on twitter there are generally more updates there than on the blog. There you will find more links to videos as well as the posts that are made here daily. You don't miss a thing.

Little Taste of London Wiffleball Tournament Footage

While I attended the 13th Annual London Wiffleball Tournament in Ohio last weekend I took over 4 hours of footage and am a little lost when it comes to sorting through it to edit some final video. So if you were wondering while you visited the site this morning why there was no post for the day...it's because I began the laborious task of editing video. Hooray. Anyway, I finally threw a small clip together as an appetizer of videos to come. Ideally most of the videos would be up by now but let's be realistic. This isn't NBC and there's not 50 people working on audio and video here. While the video is alright at 360p you can watch it in 480p, 720p, or even 1080p if you so desire. Enjoy.

London Wiffleball Tournament photographs

I took over 100 pictures at the tournament and got over 2 hours of footage. It will take a while to sort through the film so enjoy what photographs have surfaced at the Wiffler's Digest Facebook page.

It's finally here...the 13th Annual London Wiffleball Tournament. There will be casual players from the Columbus, OH area as well as dudes from Kalamazoo Wiffleball League, Wiffle in Southeast Michigan, and Potomac Wiffleball League. Looking forward to meeting everyone there. If you see a dude with a video camera at hand, chances are that it's me. Come say hi.
