Plano D1 Teams

Wait! Technology has progressed, WE CAN USE PIGEONS!

As you wait for the snails, can you explain the "h2h" column in PYSA score table? I would think it's "head to head" but my understanding of head to head is one team's performance vs. another team. Why is there a h2h column in the score table?

It denotes that your team's snail was not killed crossing McDermott.....it eloped with the opposing team's snail and they have mated. Head 2 Head.

And if you see the same number of points, then it tells you which teams snail came out on top vs all the teams with the same number of points...head to head.

No fair!!! I smell a rat!!! DTxn FTW vs DTxn White was played on the 11th and the score is already posted!!! DTxn's are keeping a stable of genetically engineered, turbo boosted snails.....and the snails are juicin' too!!!!! I saw one, they're all blinged out with low profile tires, spinner rims and after market Bose sound system.

Oh mannnnnnn, no competing with that! BTW, the H2H does mean head 2 head and is used only when there is a tie in the standings. (My carrier pigeon told me.) I am patenting the carrier pigeon idea now. Only problem is trying to get a saddle on it so my snail can ride it!

What is the difference between a snail and a politician?

One is a slimy pest who leaves a trail everwhere they go and the other is a snail.

Badum swish!

Keep em coming guys! This is cerebral stuff!

Can't talk now. Modifying my pigeons with variable geometry, laminar flow wings and upgrading the powerplants with scram jets. Gotta step out and pick up some of that NASA heat shield stuff. Birds keep bursting into flames as they pass through Mach 2

The snails called, they are signaling a willingness to renegotiate their contracts, I think they are ready to get back to work despite the hazardous working conditions.

Do the carrier pigeons have a counteroffer?

Spoke with the pigeons union rep. They're taking a slightly hardline stance. Offer is as follows:
"we will crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentations of their women".

Didn't realize it before, but apparently the pigeons have children playing NTX soccer.

Sounds like the new rep was an understudy to Conan the Barbarian. Those terms sound firm, we had better call snails.

That's true, I know some of the pigeons.

After the paint drys, and the cows come home, and the fat lady sings, maybe, the scores will be posted. Then again,the scores not being posted has been the source of entertainment and folly.

We'll see if the snails can compete with pigeon's stance...

Seems like the Pigeons aren't quite ready to fly the coop. This just in from news central: I was just approached with an offer from the local redtail hawk union. They are willing to glide in with the scores if we give them the pigeons' locations. I can't imagine why they would need that information, but they were willing to work with us and it wouldn't cost us an arm and a leg - the pigeons, however, may have to make a sacrifice.

But if they have DDs playing there, it should be the least they could do. I haven't seen any of them volunteer as field marshall or help with fund raisers. Matter of fact, the last cookie sale event they helped with was terrible. (Evidently husbands and cookies are pigeon pecked!)

The snails took a Churhillian stance saying, "We will fight in the hills, we will fight in the fields..."

...something about landing grounds..."We will never surrender."

All competing factions should have a seat at the table. Perhaps we can utilize the talents and attributes of all concerned parties and have an arrangement to have the best suited party traverse the more difficult and treacherous portions of the terrain according to their attributes. To ensure safe delivery of the precious scores for all our DDs from the field to the league director.

We welcome the Red Tail Hawks to the table.

Seriously, the delay is ridiculous. Some scores are still not up a week after the game!

Since Tiffany has been posting one or two scores at a time, we can assume that she is posting scores for games for which BOTH teams submitted scores.

Therefore, unless someone tells me otherwise, I will assume that the LOSING TEAMS are using the slowest snails they could find. Immature.

Let's see if there is a pattern. For week-old scores, the outstanding scores are:

US Elite v Fever
Cosmos v Rockets
Genesis v Thunder
FC Frisco v AYSES Gold

Whoever lost those games are likely the delay. Someone said Thunder and Fever won, so Genesis and US Elite dragging their feet. Busted!

I don't recall either of those teams in D1 Plano last year perhaps they need a lesson on snail racing.

I think 2 PPL policy changes could fix this.

1. Get rid of the paper form. It is my understanding that the form must be filled out, scanned, and then emailed. The form and scanning seem like unnecessary steps to me. Since the end result is an email, why can't a KNOWN TEAM, with KNOWN MANAGER, email from a KNOWN EMAIL address

2. PPL wants to post accurate scores, so they require both managers to send in scores. Accuracy is great, but timely information is also needed. Set a deadline. 24 hrs or 48hrs. If after that deadline PPL only has one email, post it. If you can't be timely, you lose the privilege of participating in the process.

Mom, Genesis was a bye team. They only lost 3 games last year in Div 1. Maybe they didnt know that you have to submit scores even if you L.

US Elite played in PT. Not sure if they are a new team or a rebrand of an old team.

Santos, good logic. If the scores are delayed, and the AGC is posting most games, it's prolly the losing team that is slow rolling the score. Acting all grown up and stuff.

The posting process is definitely flawed. The U13G commish could compromise somewhat (like the others) and allow either "unofficial" text or emailed scores until she receives game reports. But she won't because she relishes in the fact that we complain about her posting ways. Dealt with her last year and she won't change. Plus, I gurantee she reads this forum.

I am told in our case that the losing team not only dragged their feet but submitted the wrong score further delaying the process. I know it's early in the season and standings matter very little but it gives us bored parents somethn to do and talk about! Lol

Seriously. Here's the solution: fill out one form in pencil and change game/opponent info as needed. (make sure it's the correct score). Take cellphone photo and the 2 mgrs can email from phone right there at the field! That puts the onus on commish Tiff.

Skillz....I was actually referring to US Elite and Thunder, sorry. I am not familiar with those two teams. I know Genesis was in Plano last year, I remember the nail biting league game against them last year! lol

This just in from .snail central. Teddy Roosevelt just named president. Game scores to follow.
