The playoffs are beginning this week and, due to the number of teams in the League and court availability that is limited by club volleyball, they will take an incredible five weeks to complete. We will crown an incredible (and unprecedented) 15 Division champions on Sunday, December 17th. 

We had a great regular season. We had to get rid of a couple guys who simply didn't understand why we gather on Sundays to play the greatest game ever invented. The best part of that was that the two guys who were asked to leave were both asked to leave by their respective teammates, who had grown tired of their disruptive antics. If, week after week, you find that you're leaving the venue in a worse mood than when you came in, perhaps this is not for you. 

In case you don't know, everybody makes the playoffs. Many are called (heck, everybody is called), but few survive. The playoffs are exciting and occasionally contentious. It's amazing to see the lengths to which some people will go to get a championship T-shirt. Of course, there is that picture of me shooting the perfect-form jump shot on the shirts. That really is me, although I'm often mistaken for Dirk Nowitski and/or Devin Booker (who both copied my form).

Seriously, best of luck in the playoffs. Let's try to make them the best ever.
