Team Goes on the Road

A branch-off team of the Piraats (pronounced Pirates) is heading for the World Series. Really. OK, so it's a softball tournament in Colorado.

It's the Sports Illustrated Advertising Softball World Series. The group is called the Coconuts, and they each have jerseys that say "I Got Lei'd by..." and their occasionally riske nicknames.

They're there from Wednesday through Sunday, spending most of the time on the field. Of course, Scott says they party fairly well too. Both he and Mike have been before.

Here are the crucial stats, according to the website:
On the Field
* 10-12 games guaranteed (you determine the number of games)
* Round-robin format, no team eliminated
* All teams compete for 3-6 titles
* All teams seeded into equally balanced divisions
* Competitive and recreational teams
* 6 Coed, 3 men's, 1 women's division

Off the Field
* 4 nights lodging at a fabulous 4-star resort with magnificent views (Cheyenne Mountain Resort)
* Mystery Dinner Party
* 3 Afternoon Beer Gardens
* 4 Evening Beer Gardens
* Jersey Trading and Contests
* 3 Dinner Buffets with entertainment
* 2 Late Night Beer Gardens and Parties
* Tournament Program and Awards Banquet Video
* Newsletters and Prize Drawings
* Survival Kit Bag & Merchandise
