The Wait Is Over - GSWL Format Release Is Out

The 2012 Format for GSWL/GSTC has finally been released on the Golden Stick website. It's a 27 page magazine explaining in details of what the plan is for 2012. The new point system to determine national standings is pretty impressive. But what I admire most is Lou Levesque's honesty on some issues and admitting that there are still a few things that need to be worked out and is open to the opinions of the players.

If you want to see the magazine for yourself, click HERE and read through it.

Shamefully, my attention mostly went to the dilemma a man named Doug Winship faces on naming his team for 2012. He appears to have narrowed it down to two choices: Wiffzilla and Mustangs. I don't see how this is a hard decision. That Wiffzilla logo is amazing.

Wiffle Logos Resource

Brandon Corbett, of Wiffle in SE Michigan, has began constructing an interesting wiffle website. It's called Wifffle Logos Resource and he's been archiving the team logos of leagues and teams. So far he's only done a few leagues but I'm sure he'll have it all done by the end of next season. So why is he doing this? He explained on a thread on the NWLA messageboard, "Well, first off I love design and logos in general. Second, there are a ton of great (silly-great, and great-great) logos in use throughout NWLA, but usually don't get noticed outside of their own leagues. We already learn a bit about the cultural nuances, similarites, and differences of our leagues bumping shoulders on these forums; so, the WLR is a good way to extend that into seeing a bit more about a league through its creative side, as well." Noticed that teams from your league aren't featured yet? Try to help Brandon out by saving him a lot of legwork and drop him an email with the logos attached. So far he only appears interested in doing NWLA logos, once he gets that done he may or may not do GSWL and other non-NWLA organizations.

Would You Use A Stat App During Your Wiffleball Games?

One of the players from CoMo Wiffleball in Missouri has modified a baseball statistic app to fit the needs of wiffleball games. Below are pictures (click on them to enlarge) he posted on a thread on the NWLA messageboard. He wants to know if he further developed the app, would people be willing to pay for it. Take a look at the pictures and determine if you would be willing to use the app and pay or just stick with score sheets.

Brainless Threesome

Given the positions that the recipients took, I have my suspicions on what they did with the bats after the camera stopped rolling. I won't go into details but I think we all know what I'm hinting at.

Dedication - do you have it?

As someone who has played in the snow before, I doubt these kids ever do it again...but if they do they have a considerable amount of dedication. Snowy conditions simply aren't a productive atmosphere for wiffleball. The ball and bat, and everything else, gets wet. Freezing temperatures cause the joints to become stiff, and put players at greater risk for developing pneumonia or hypothermia. The costs outweigh the benefits but if you and your friends are careless enough to play some wiffleball in the snow this winter, be sure to send us a copy of the url of the video to us at wifflersdigest@gmail.com
