As the PIT enters its sixth season of Winter football that means we are now preparing for the 6th annual team captains all-star game!

For those of you who may not be in the know we here at the PIT twice a year award all of the unsung heroes who chase around their teammates for registration money, ensure players get to the field, work around the schedules of others, deal with the day-to-day drama, and generally go gray with the joys of organizing recreational touch football. Without the captains of the 135 teams in the league the PIT would not exist. Team captains might not lead their respective divisions in points, TD passes, interceptions, or sacks, but they are the true all-stars and should be acknowledged as such.

What better way to do so then to invite all of our team captains to our 6th annual Indoor all-star game? This year the all-star game will be held on Sunday February 15th at 10:30pm (this is the Sunday of the long weekend). Due to the huge growth in the league there will be three all-star games held during this time.

All team captains in attendance will receive all-star t-shirts courtesy of Harv-al and be eligible to win some great swag from our sponsors. Following the game your PIT Crew will treat all team captains to a drink in the lounge!

Team captains must register for the all-star game by Monday February 9th to be eligible for the game. To register team captains should email Jon at j.franklin@uwinnipeg.ca.

Congratulations to each team captain who will represent their team in the 2015 all-star game! Only in the PIT!

So far we have about 25% of teams who have responded with a representative for the all-star game. Captains need to RSVP by Monday to ensure they are on the team and to claim their swag and after party festivities. Should be a great time as always!

With the all-star games set for Sunday, here is some important info for all participants.

The all-star games start at 10:30pm, however all participants should arrive NO LATER than 10:15pm. Please proceed upstairs to receive your game t-shirt. Teams will decide on which players play where at this time. Players arriving after 10:15pm may not get a t-shirt! We want to be organized before the games start to ensure everything begins and ends on time. There are games after so there will be no delaying the games past the 10:30pm start time.

There are multiple quarterbacks per team. Everyone should receive equal playing time and no QB may play for more than a half. Some QBs have been identified on the game cards, others I may have missed. Anyone who wants a chance to throw will have their opportunity.
No player shall be made to rush. Teams should switch up the rushers.
Since the games are strictly for fun and there are no prizes for winning, players should be moved around to different positions and quarterbacks should involve EVERYONE! QBs will be drop kicked if this does not happen.

No player shall play both ways for extended periods of time. Equitable playing time for all.

Teams must self-police themselves but I will be around ensuring everyone is playing and having fun.

After the game all participants are invited upstairs for a drink on the PIT! At that point we can all talk about how awesome we are!

Congratulations again from your PIT Crew!

With the great all-star games and performances in the books, there was only one thing left to do...go for beers in the lounge and discuss how great the all-star performances really were! It was awesome to see almost everyone in attendance head upstairs and swap war stories. Hopefully new friendships and football alliances were formed in the lounge. Pretty sure we put the lounge over capacity but Caroline was a trooper keeping up with the pours. Here are just a few of the pics of the aftermath: http://www.pitfootball.com/albums/712-the-all-star-game-aftermath

The PIT truly appreciates all the hard work team captains put into running their respective teams and this is just one small token of our appreciation. Keep up the great work, the next all-star game/beer extravaganza will run in August for the outdoor season. I will definitely see you there.
