> Mens Leagues Rule Change (posted Jan 21, 2009)We have had
an
undocumented practice that has emerged over time, that of
granting wins to Mens League teams that have to miss a regularly
scheduled league game due to a scheduling conflict with their play in
the MCA zones. We have reconsidered this practice and have come
up with a documented ZONE PLAYDOWN BYLAW which will attempt to be fair
to all teams in the Mens leagues.
The new ZONE PLAYDOWN BYLAW states that : if a team defaults a game due to play in MCA zones then if they meet requirements they are granted a half win (.5W) and the equivalent half points (rounded up to next integer). For example if default involves a Group A team in round 3 this would be 6 points. The half win (.5W) will be included in the calculation of the total number of wins for the year. Total Wins is used as the tiebreaker between teams if tied for wildcard spots for entry in the Club Championship competition. Game in question may be rescheduled for another date before the end of the round to attempt for full win and full points if teams can agree on a date. To meet requirements the team in the zones must include at least 3 of their regular DLCC roster and be registered as from Deer Lodge in the zones. This bylaw includes all MCA zones age groupings (example: juniors, seniors). This bylaw has been added to the Common League Rules for future reference. > DLCC to Host 09 - 10 Jr Men's (posted Jan 15, 2009)We are proud

They move from the "C" group all the way to the top of "B" for the second round. Tanasichuk and Doyle both won 4 games in "B" to tie at 39 points going into the next round. Doug Mackie's team along with the Stevens foursome each won 3 games in "C" and earned promotion. They round out the top group for round 2. Bender and Peterson drop to "C" group. The Matt Keough team moves into "C" after a very brief stop in "B". -On Wednesday night there was a lot of movement between groups as usual. We started with an uneven number of teams and a 10 / 11 split of teams between the A/B and C/D draws. Now that we an even number of teams we will revert to a 12 / 10 split for the second round. Mahon with 4 wins and 44 points takes the top spot in "A" group for the second round. Team Exell with 5 wins and 40 points in group "C" earns the move all up to "A". Also moving to "A" are the Forrest team from "B" with their 39 points. Desjarlais, Gordon and Grassie will round out "A" for the 2nd round after each having 38 points from 3 wins. Based on points, Malanchuck drops out of "A" to "B" group, Gousseau moves to "B" from "C", Thompson moves from "D" up to "B". Brown sinks from "B" to "D" after 5 losses. Johnson drops from "B" to "C" . Dillon, Morris and Strath all tied at 23 points at the end of round 1 but Dillon earns the promotion up to the last spot in "B" based on our tie breaker rules. -On Thursday night the competition was fairly even during the first round except for 2 teams. The Kolodka team won all 5 of his games in "C" and the 40 points moves them to the lead position of "B" for the 2nd round. The Matt Keough rink could only muster 1 win in the 1st round so find themselves at the bottom of "C" to start round 2. -Preliminary results for Monday sees the Marshall and Fuller teams as being the only ones undefeated so far on the night.
