Cedar Clubbers!
What a great first half of the year! A few updates…
SMACK – A message from your Commish:
“SMACK is Saturday, February 7th. Looking to fill out the field by January 20th. All are welcome. Cost is $100/guy, including, Breakfast, lunch, pizza, drinks, a favor, and camaraderie… We still seeking 8 more teams. Get in there…”
- In the Bonds
State Closed
Save the date, Feb 28. More details to come next week.
Club Championship
Save the date, April 11. FYI sounds like this might be an afternoon-evening event. Not my department but sounds GREAT to me. Block your calendar accordingly.
Club Facilities
- Per MVP: Stop breaking shit.
- We’re gonna slap some stickers on the pizza fridge. If you have any to donate, place em on the counter by the fridge and we’ll see what makes the cut.
- Nintendo 64 – we need more games, dig through the basement and bring em in.
- Garbage. IDK why it never occurred to me that there should be a garbage by the bar, but now there is! Replacement bags are in the bin.
- Lighting – we’re experimenting and have more stuff on the way. Your opinion is important and nothing is final! So be sure to submit your feedback to anyone but me.
- Apparently this needs to be explained:
- The neon lights have a pull string, including the Budweiser sign by the door. Turn them on.
- The string light behind the bar is operated by the white button top right of the south TV. Turn it on.
- The pabst sign needs electricity to work. Plug it in.
- With the cans turned up we’re counting on the surrounding lights to…light the club house.
- Please remember to check the bathroom if you’re last to leave. We don’t the shitter at 65 at 3am on a Sunday night.
Tequila
- Is tequila taking over?? Do we need a tequila team? Will it steal members from the vodka alliance? Who could say but those bottles go quick nowadays, so if you’re drinking it start bringing it. And thank you!
- I cannot see the future, but I envision a Team Tequila vs. Vodka Alliance event in the 2026/27 season.
Xenon Orders
LAST CALL. Friday January 16 I will place the last Xenon order of the year before shutting down. This isn’t my job and its not making the club any money, so deal with it. If you want paddles, shoes, balls, hand sock thingy, whatever is on the xenon site, let me know by Thursday evening the 15th. Fill out an order form and put it in the envelope or email me. Prices will go up next year, deal with that too. Member savings for 25/26 will cross the $2k mark on this next order, cheers.
Anyone wear a size 10? I have an accidental order, sitting on the table. venmo @thecedarclub $99 and they’re yours.
Michael Johnson Challenge – NO WINNERS. Nobody went 5-0 or better in the first half of the season. Need to find another way to take his money. Poker night anyone???
Rankings Update:
- Someone fell 11 spots, 938 points!!! Think of him before complaining about your ladder moves
- This man has lost 16 matches, while the rest of the club has on average, only played 8.5 matches, and only one person has played more than 16 matches total. Should we increase his dues? Should there be a match limit? Or is he doing the club a favor subbing in so matches can be played? If you beat him do you even deserve to get points? All good questions.
- Drew Lied sits atop the latter, up 490 points. Pretty good considering he started at 4 on the ladder… not a lot of easy wins!
- Chad Bollinger is the biggest mover, up 9 ranking spots, though on only +414 points. Maybe everyone ahead of him just sucks
- Zander has the greatest point gain, +683
- 8 players moved up more than 5 spots, 7 moved down more than 5 spots
- 9 players haven’t moved a spot. The true sleepers of the club.
BCC vs. REPLY ALL
- I’m not saying you SHOULD reply all, or that you won’t get harassed for poor form emails, but honestly, I miss the reply all nonsense that use to fill my inbox. What a nice break from work. Some losers got annoyed by this. In what world are you living where emails about the cedar club ruin your day?? Go yell at strangers on twitter or setup a BS email account. Or, wait for it, press “delete”. You’re not gonna make my day worse than it already is by taking this joy from me.
Good luck to everyone the rest of the season!
