Why the target score of 52?
It’s a Fifty Burger with Cheese
Over the past 16 months, we’ve had a lot of questions (and negative comments) about the decision to move to a target score of 52.
Well, here you go.
-when we played to “full time at 36-minutes”, blowouts (and lack of effort) became the norm in the final quarter
-when we played to “full score through 36-minutes”, Los scored 52 in a win
-the math worked out to 51.6 points per 30-minutes throughout the first season, 52 seemed natural
-we’re trying to grow the League and get more games and players action on the floor
-the ability to get “Veteran Subs” into the new team lineups, more games/rivalries
We hope this clears up some of the clouds in the sky.
League Trophy arrives at Oskar Woodworks
Year 2 Champs fired up for The Burn
With the League Championship Trophy having been delivered to Oskar Woodworks earlier this week, the Greyline Nines are soon to be honored by having their names etched/burned into the trophy itself, thus immortalizing their accomplishment during the 2021-22 season.
Sources: City, Money reinvested
Multiple sources have been reporting a “City-Money” reunion for Year 3 of the Gr3g League.
After a year playing away from his original team, winning the 2021-22 League Title with the Greyline Nines, many reports have the 6-0 forward returning to the City of Bridges before next season.
With the departure of 4-6 players joining the Rhythm, the return will be a welcome addition to the Blues squad.
L3g3nds use spin move to acquire Dr. Weed
The L3g3nds of the Lakes are acquiring Dr. Weed from the Roundball Ruckus Ligers in exchange for the rights to
“attempt to host the Tribute to the Ruckus 3v3 on Sunday, August 14th (9am) at Lincoln Park”.
With the addition of the 6-0 forward known for his famous Armadillo spin-move, the Old Men have now acquired 2 players from the St. Paul Cougars Class of ’89 team (Gr3g) with hopes of adding as many of the roster as possible.
Happy Birthday, Real Deal!

Congrats to a good friend, the reason we run distance, and the Real Deal realtor of the year in our book.
