HOENECKE PAINTING WINS 3RD CHAMPIONSHIP IN 5 YEARS

Posted: 3/7/2012

Leading by one game the final night of the season, Hoenecke

Painting won the 1st game 17-14 over Wisconsin Wetgoods,

leaving them one win away from the League Championship.

However, Wisconsin Wetgoods scored 16 runs in the first 4

innings of the second game and held on to win 21-17. Game

three saw Wisconsin Wetgoods deny Hoenecke Painting the

Championship again, by scoring 10 runs in the 4th and 6th

innings, while cruising to a 30-13 win, forcing a one game playoff.

The one game playoff was a classic duel, until Hoenecke

Painting scored 5 runs in the 8th inning, giving them a 19-13 lead.

Wisconsin Wetgoods could only tally 2 runs in the bottom of the

9th, giving Hoenecke Painting a 19-15 win, and their 3rd

Championship in 5 years! Pictured are team members (l-r);

2011 PRE-SEASON MEETING SUMMARY

The 2011 League Pre-Season Captains meeting was held on 10/12/2011 at Turner Hall. Three teams have dropped from the league; GAF

Construction, Kathy's Buffalo Bar and Turner Bucks. One new team was added, Tietz Taxidermy, leaving the league with 16 teams.

CHANGES FOR THIS YEAR

* Handicaps will now have decimal point, and handicaps will be determined after subtracting with decimal point.

* When one team is averaging more than double the runs per game than their opponent, the opponent will only get enough handicap runs to equal the

other teams average. If the runs are "odd" then the next lower handicap runs are given.

* New teams will establish average the first night, while returning teams will use last years average runs.

DARTBALL RATING SYSTEM INFORMATION

The Dartball Rating System used by the league takes various pieces of data and puts them into a formula to develop a players individual dartball

rating. The formula averages five individual statistics of a player against a high standard of: 1) Hitting .650 on the single, 2) Hitting .550 on the triple,

3) Hitting .600 overall, 4) A Slugging Percentage of .1000, and 5) Averaging 1 RBI for each 2.5 at bats.

2010 PRE-SEASON MEETING SUMMARY

The 2010 League Pre-Season Captains meeting was held on 9/29/2010 at Turner Hall. President Dale Zubke called the meeting to order at 8:05 PM,

with all teams present. The two main topics discussed were handicap and playoffs.

HANDICAP

Handicap ideas ranged from only giving 75% of the total runs, to only giving as many runs to match your opponents run average. These ideas were

tabled and we will continue with the 100% handicap rule, giving one run for each run scored. Our Secretary will keep track of how many times the

the outcome of a game would have changed by only giving runs to match your opponents run average.

PLAYOFFS

Having an end-of-season playoff for the top 8 teams to determine the League Champion was discussed. While we will not have a playoff this year,

there seems to be some teams that would like a playoff. Perhaps a League Champion for the most wins throughout the season, AND a Playoff

Champion for the end-of-season tournament would work in the future.

TREASURERS REPORT

We started last year with $60.01 and ended with $215.00. We also have about $1,800 in reserve from proceeds when the League hosted the

2008 Wisconsin State Dartball Tournament.

LEAGUE MORNS PASSING OF ED FORTMANN

The 2009 pre-season meeting was held on September 16, 2009 at Turner Hall. The meeting began with a rememberance of our past League Secretary

Ed Fortmann, whose untimely death on July 1, 2009 was honored with a moment of silence. We will all miss Ed, his sense of humor, and dartball

comraidere. Ed was not only our League Secretary, but also a true friend of dartball. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. May

these words from John 11:25 comfort all of us; "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and

whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

DALE LENIUS HONORED

Dale Lenius, past president of the League, and original organizer of the League, was honored on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 before the start of

League play. Dale "Boss Man" Zubke presented Mr. Lenius with a plaque recognizing his many years of service to the League. Congratulations

Dale Lenius, you've earned a well deserved rest. On behalf of the entire League, we all say "THANK YOU"!
