Hello everyone!
I hope you're all having an excellent day! A LOT is happening with the Whiprays lately! So let's get right into it!
1. New Members!
2. A Big Announcement!
3. Going Forward
4. Upcoming Tournaments
5. A Note From Me!
1. New Members!
I want to give a huge warm welcome to our newest members: Corey, Pita, Jerboodles, and Spinny! We're super happy to have you all! Only 2 more members to our magic number of 12!
I realize adding so many new people all at once can get a bit confusing and change is hard and things might be a little weird right now and feel a bit disorganized. Don't worry! We'll fall into the swing of things soon. :)
2. Big Announcement!!
With so many new additions and with the prospect of having 3 separate teams, we wanted to have an extra set of hands around. Not another captain per say, but someone who can both run the 3rd team, and also help Tony and I really spread the word about The Whiprays. So we appointed a manager!
From now on, Eric (XCuber2) will be the official Watch Me Whiprays manager!! His natural talent for leadership and making connections made him the clear choice for the job! Tony and I feel like Eric exemplifies what we want our squad to become and we know that he will always put his squad and his individual team mates in a positive light.
Eric will be the functioning "captain" of the 3rd team (Tony and I running the other 2 of course) and he will also be acting as the "face" of the Whiprays in the community. He's like a PR man. We're super excited to share this news and I have literally INFINITE faith in Eric's abilities in this new role!
3. Going Forward
Well, we've had some pretty hard bumps in the road to get to this point. We've hit some low points, we've lost some important games, and we've lost some important players. No matter our opinions on them, they were team mates. They were Whiprays.
But we are not without a plan. Obviously we're not lost without them. We'll move on. We already have, in a way. So here's what's going to happen over the next few practices:
For the next little bit, we're going to be mixing and matching our new players in with our veterans and working on creating the perfect 3 teams; One lead by me, one lead by Tony, and one lead by Eric. Once our 3 teams are formed, we're going to practice with them a LOT. In fact, the team you're on is the team you'll play with for pretty much every practice from here on out.
When LUtI season 2 gets off the ground, Tony and I will be entering the teams we run into the League with the title of Div. C champion being our only goal.
At the same time, Eric will lead his team in a tour of other smaller tournaments. This way, none of our players are left not doing anything.
We're really excited to get all this going! :D
4. Upcoming Tournaments:
Genroku Legends is on April 23rd.
FUTA Cup is on May 1st.
We'll finalize the rosters for these tourneys soon.
5. Guys, I just really want you all to know how important all of this is to me. All of you, even our newest members, feel like family to me. The past few months have been CRAZY. We've met a ton of new people, made some new friends, and created something really cool together. I'm sorry I haven't been completely together lately. I'm working on getting better at juggling everything.
I want to give a huge thank you to Tony. Tony, when you approached me back in January, I had a really good feeling about you, but I had no clue just how incredibly helpful you would be on this loopy-*** journey or how good of a friend you would become. And I seriously look forward to working and playing with you on this (now HUGE!!) team for quite a while! I can't say it enough. Thanks for all your support, man. U da real MVP.
Cam, Eric, Seth, you guys have been with me and Tony almost since the beginning. Your dedication and presence are what keep us going in the rough times. Thanks for sticking with us through all the ups and downs. We hope you stick around. <3
Tyler, you already know how I feel about you bae. ;)
Nah but f'real, thanks for hopping aboard this crazy train with me. I knew I picked you for good reasons. <3
To Spinny, Jerboodles, Corbo and Pita, you guys have just become part of the coolest group of people I have ever known. I have so much faith in you guys and I am SO excited to see you tear up the competition in the name of the Whiprays!
Welcome aboard, everyone. It only gets better from here.
I'll see you guys at practice. ;)
