Melissa – Thank you for your all
your help today.
And “Iron Mike,” thank you for
your vote.
I am assuming that the other captains have
not voted simply because they have not been online. However, instead of a vote
at this point; I making the (difficult) decision to move the playoffs to next
week (Labor Day Sunday). I do recognize that the attendance may be quite
different than this weekend. But safety has got to be the common denominator.
Just so you know, I spent 2 1/2hours
trying to get alternate field space. I was even able to get both a Parks and
Recreation AND a Central Park Conservancy representative to walk the fields
with me this afternoon. We examined 6 fields from 86th and CPW to
102nd and
All teams deserve to have the playoff
opportunities as laid out on June 19.
It is with great regret I write this.
Please honor this email with a reply so I
know you are in receipt (and please advise your teams).
Much thank you. Catherine

Playoffs Update!!
Hey NYCPUL captains and players,
I'm writing this on behalf of Cathy, our great NYCPUL commissioner
who's been running around like mad trying to resolve our field issue for
tomorrow. Unfortunately, she was unable to secure any of the grassy North
Meadow fields. They are all red-flagged due to the rain.... :(
The options that the Parks Department offered were 1) a small
field just north of the Dustbowl and 2) a
So, we're asking the captains to take a vote. Please respond to the
captains list!
And sorry for the last minute-ness of all this! The Parks Department
seriously screwed up...
Please keep checking your email for updates from your captains or the
yahoo groups.

To NYCPUL Summer league Captains and registered players:
I have just been advised that we cannot play on the
"Dust Bowl" (as Ellen Degeneris is setting up for a Monday concert).
I am working with Parks and Recreation to get alternate
fields nearby.
Three important items:
1. We will be on one of two
fields:
- The grassy soccer field
directly west of the Dust Bowl (up over the hill and inside the paved
loop)
- The grassy soccer field
more west on other side of North Meadow – inside paved loop
from
and Central Park West)100th St
2. Tell players to bring turf
shoes – not cleats (cleats are not allowed on grass). Use sneakers if
needed.
3. Stay tuned tomorrow at 11am
via email and phone.
There is a small outside chance this needs to be moved to
Labor Day Sunday. This would bite but if Central Park Conservancy shuts field
there is nothing we can do.
The actual field will be confirmed later this afternoon
(email from Melissa), but prepare your teams. I will be online again tonight
and send an update.
If you receive no other communication: Assume Games are on. Games are in Grass Field west of Dust Bowl just inside
Eastern loop. No Cleats.
Captains – call your team players, please call them at
the phone #'s from the roster/draft selection.
