TP UPDATE: Revision to Mosquito Division Elimination Game Schedule

After the conclusion of their wild Mosquito Division Quarter-final proceeding, the Angels and Mariners line it up and congratulate each other on a great game at Christie Pits Diamond 2.

The Toronto Playgrounds Baseball Committee has issued a revised Mosquito Division Elimination Schedule.

The change that has been made is to the semi-final and championship final games. We realized that the original schedule could have created a situation whereby a team (the winner of Wednesday’s quarter-final) might have ended up having to play three nights in a row, and that is not something we want to have at the Mosquito age level.

Also, the original schedule included a 5:15 p.m. semi-final playoff game on Thursday (September 17) at Christie Pits Diamond 3. After feedback from coaches and parents, the Committee realized that the 5:15 p.m. time slot would probably cause problems and stress for people as a start time, and from looking at the table of Toronto sunset times, we’re still not sure we’d be able to safely play the entire game on Diamond 3 since it has no overhead lighting.

The revised schedule features one semi-final game on Thursday (September 17), another semi-final game on Friday (September 18), and the championship game on Sunday (September 20) morning at 9:30 a.m. As Saturdays in the month of September tend to be quite busy for families by this point, we thought we’d give everyone a day off to catch their breath and then play the final on Sunday morning.

Here is the revised playoff elimination schedules:

2015 MOSQUITO DIVISION PLAYOFF ELIMINATION SCHEDULE

  • Monday, September 14 > 5:45 p.m.: Mariners @ Angels (Quarter-final) [Christie Pits Diamond 3]

  • Sunday, September 20 > 9:30 p.m.: Mosquito Division Championship Game [Christie Pits Diamond 2]

* The determination of which teams will play in which semi-final will take place after the Committee has had an opportunity to talk to coaches about their availability those days.
