Reboot

A number of people have asked my why I didn't publish the week 2 stats.  There's a good reason for that. There was no week 2.  Read on.  
 
 

What is reboot???

Technically, its the act or instance of restarting a computer system. 

However, the word has entered everyday life and it has, of course, been meant for something else now.  Its now taking something old and making it new and pretending that the old never happened. 

Example?  Sure


Star Trek.  Sure, Chris Pine is a really good Kirk, I'll give you that.  And Harold from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle does a fine job as Sulu.  And I can't say enough about Simon Pegg as Scotty.  But Spock and Uhura as a couple?  Come on!!!  Stay true to the script!


Superman Returns.  Sort of.  It picks up after Superman and Superman II and disregards that Superman III and Superman IV ever existed.  Might not be a bad thing. 


Spiderman's reboot suddenly didn't have webs in his wrists.  He had to build his own mechanical devices.  Which makes me think he could have become Ant Man or Centipede Man if he wanted. 

Well, our league is in doing a reboot too.  Not a full power on power off reboot, more like the Superman version.  As you hopefully all know now, there is a new schedule.  The schedule is 22 games per team and commences Tuesday May 20th with 8 team (4 games) at Coventry Park. 

So week 1 is now!  However, the 4 games that we managed to play in the two preceeding weeks still count. So we'll roll them into the "rebooted" week 1's stats. If you haven't checked your team's schedule yet, do it by clicking HERE and do it soon, the games are starting.

We're starting off with the Beer Cup game, defending champs Dodge City Rounders Vs. the Blues Brothers. 

Oh, one more thing.  Reboot was also a cheesey 1990's cartoon.  It related the extraordinary adventures of life within a computer, as depicted in one of the world's first totally-computer-generated series. The riotous humour, infinitely-variable action and scenery, and intelligent use of every computer reference known, combined to produce a stunning universe where good constantly fights the forces of evil. Dot Matrix and her brother Enzo, plus thousands of friendly binomes, live in Mainframe, which is plagued by viruses Megabyte and sister strain Hexadecimal. Guardian Bob is sent from the Net to protect them, and soon makes it his home. Together, they must prevent Megabyte from taking control of all the systems. As an added complication, games being played by the mystical User invade the system regularly, and must be defeated, or else portions of the city are laid waste...I might have seen an episode or two.
