*THURSDAY NIGHT TEAMS*
Schedule update from Seahawks. Please ensure you keep an eye on Basketball Connect.
Unfortunately we are faced with two Thursday's this season that will have to be shifted to a Sunday as we did last year. This was going to be three dates, but fortunately we have been able to secure venues for the third one.
The two dates are:
September 14th (Round 10), which will be played on Sunday 10th September
October 12th (Round 12), which will be played on Sunday 5th November (TBC)
If you can please communicate this with your Thursday night teams so they are very aware of the weeks that they will have to play two games.
It's not ideal, but unfortunately there are many BQ events that book out CISC through the back second half of the year, and there aren't enough outside venues to accommodate the very large Thursday night fixture.
The scheduling changes for the Seahawks raise significant points about venue availability and planning for teams. While the adjustments to accommodate larger events like Royal Reels may be necessary, they highlight the challenges of managing competitive schedules. The emphasis on communication with teams is essential, ensuring all players are prepared for the implications of these shifts on their gameplay.
This scheduling adjustment raises important considerations for team logistics and player well-being. The overlap of events and need to shift games to Sundays complicates planning. When teams must adapt to a tight schedule, the impact on performance and cohesion can be significant. Additionally, it draws a parallel to how The Pokies operate in terms of shifting priorities and accommodating various stakeholders. Analyzing these patterns can shed light on potential long-term solutions.
