Equipment Standards for Match Play

In response to the enormous amount of criticism which has been piled upon the doorstep of the NWNWL League Offices, the League has taken rapid and aggressive action with regards to equipment standards within match play.  Following the fierce competition from week one, many athletes expressed their distaste  due to the inconsistency of the League's equipment.  Tweets were fired off, FBook status messages filled with wild rants, and the blogosphere was lit up with opinions from all sides:

"I lost because I got cold and tightened up waiting for my next match 

while they were tossing big pucks into those tiny holes." -Mariko Thompson

"I would rather do Burpees than use those blue boards.  I refuse!" - Erin Sylvester

"I don't know why they are complaining? This game is too easy." - Darron Kuehn

"This league sucks. The Commissioner reminds me 

of David Stern and Clay Bennett." - Colie Chadwick

"I need bigger holes; these blue boards are for veterans." - Jeff Sievers
"Stop crying and start tossing." -Kevin Sylvester

The league responded to these outcries by postponing Week 2 matches and taking an opportunity to mend fences with one of the league's most vocal athletes, Colie Chadwick.  Commissioner Sylvester teamed up with Chadwick to construct two more sets of green boards, with 5" holes.  This drastic  move will allow for 3 matches at once with the exact same equipment, and will erase the opportunity for complaints and excuses following poor performances.   When asked about his reasoning for such a move, Sylvester was quoted as saying: "Chadwick is one of our founding members and a critical building block of our League.  His pioneering move to construct dozens of regulation size washers proved his commitment to this sport.  He's a man of few words, but when he speaks, I will listen.  Unless he's whining about the 'top of the board' rule."

Sylvester added that the official league rules will not change as a result of this move; all 3 hole boards are still allowed in match play, so long as both teams agree prior to the start of the match.  "In addition, this new equipment will allow for the expansion of weekly tournaments.  Several new athletes are ready to join in the league at the next open opportunity."
