The Millennium Sunday Softball League which is the largest Men's ASA slow pitch softball league in the state of Pennsylvania with 60 teams, began their playoffs yesterday with the "A", "B" & "C" Divisions getting underway.
The teams in those divisions voted 15-4 in favor of beginning the playoffs and foregoing the last week of the regular season schedule, after a proposal was presented to them by their division captain, Andy Ruhf.
In lieu of not needing to pay umpire fees for the final week of the regular season the league decided to award prize money which amounts to almost $1,000 to the champions and runner-ups from the "A", "B" & "C" Divisions as follows.
Champion: $200
Runner-up: $100
And on top of that the playoffs were expanded to include every team who was not "mathematically eliminated" in each division.
These are the type of decisions that are part of why so many teams want to play in the Millennium Sunday Softball League.
