Hello CPLKC member,First of all, thank you for being an integral part of our cricket league. On behalf of CPLKC Board, I am excited to meet you all through this newsletter. As you know, our league has grown bigger, year by year, and many exciting teams and players are making this the most enjoyable time the league has ever witnessed. As a result of this, we've made several changes to the league from this Spring and I will talk about it shortly. Grounds: Divisions: This year, for the first time in the Kansas City Metro Cricket, CPLKC introduced the Divisional format for the league. In the past, we have seen stronger teams overpowering newer teams, and as a result of it, we ended up discouraging newer teams. When we introduced Divisional format, there was some opposition, but overall teams embraced the idea and needless to say, it is one of the biggest hit this year. We saw several teams were provided with a chance to compete for a championship, finals, semi finals spot, individual accomplishments measured against similar skill level. This Spring league also provided an opportunity to learn what worked and what did not work (ex, relegation matches), and will be rectified in the future seasons. Before announcing the division winners from Spring league, I want to touch on organizers and teams. On behalf of the board members, I cannot express how happy we were to have Hemant Tiwari, Rikin Patel, Sharief Mohammed in our organizing committee for the Spring league. I sincerely thank these guys for doing all they can to make this tournament run smooth. Organizer work is a thankless job and at the end of the tournament, most of them are left with bitter experience from fellow league members/captains. It is our responsibility as the league members to help them, they are volunteering their time to work for us, we should recognize, appreciate and partner with them. It is learning process for both the organizers and captains to work together, and I am sure we all have same goal in mind, which is to make the league a better place to enjoy your time away from the daily hassle of life. |
