   We will decide the single line-up among Annie, Jenifer and Carol (Tianyu).
   We will decide the doubles line-up among Angela (Chien-yi)/Seongji, Yuna/Sharon (senior) and Sharon (Sophmore)/Abby (Hui Man).
   
   We will also test alternative line-up possibilities based on the elimination records. That includes the following team members: Jiayuan, Cassie, Cheryl and Jessica. Please let me know which position are you interested and if doubles, who would be your most ideal partner.

6. Remind App
   I will use this app to communicate with you during the season. You can sign up with mobile phone number (recommended) or email. This is basically text/snapchat for education institutions. I will send short notices (but usually more important, such as last minute game/practice change.) Please sign up and stay in the loop.   

170301 Team update

1. To all new members, welcome to the team!
   Our goal is to support each other and help everyone improve. In addition to MVP (most valuable) and MIP (most improved), we will select two MSPs (most supporting) in the team and give them awards and recognition as well.
   
   Please:
   - Do know/talk to/share with everyone on the team.
   - Don't only focus on your play time and/or hang out with "THAT ONE" friend all the time and ignore other people on the team.


2. Check PSAL website and this blog for updates throughout the season. You must print out a copy of rules and regulations and bring it to all practices and games.


3. We will finish the elimination tournament next practice and use the result as a tentative ranking for the non-starters.


4. We will continue to focus on clear and footwork. Please spend some time and watch some tutorials on youtube. Remember, we will have another elimination tournament after two weeks. I need to see your improvement.


5. I am arranging a scrimmage game with Seward Park before the official game starts. Please click the link below and fill out the form before 3/1 23:59.

170217 Team update

In the first several practices, we will first have the ranking tournament and the elimination tournament.

You should find yourself in one of the two following brackets. Note that the ranking tournament is for starters only. It is a full round robin tournament. Each game is 3 sets of 11 points (full court). Higher ranked players will have the priority when deciding your position in the lineup.

You can switch to the ranking tournament if you challenge and defeat any players in the ranking tournament in a game of 11 points (full court).

The elimination tournament is a double elimination tournament. Each game is 1 set of 11 points (half court).  You will be moved to the lower bracket if you lose a game. You will be eliminated if you lose again in the lower bracket. Top 4 in the higher bracket and top 2 or 4 in the lower bracket (depending on your performance during the tournament) will be kept on the team.
