Why did you have to schedule our games to conflict with the National championship? Is there any way to reschedule the Monday night games so that we can see the biggest college hoops game of the year?

Thankfully I will be able to DVR (record) the game but a lot of people dont have this option. I understand field space is tight but this is unbelievable Tom, this is comprable to the super bowl! Please try to figure it out!

;	Oh I`m sorry, do you want me to rechedule the games for time slots and field space which we don`t have permits for? Sure no problem, I can just up and change game times and location whenever and it`s not a problem. You want to watch something on TV? Sure, Let me just call all youth league teams that already have a permit for the remainder of the field space and tell them we want to use it instead because you want to watch the game tonight. As an FYI, as amusing as it is - I did not post the above. TOM-FCFFL

;	Not everyone. Watch the game, just don`t try to screw the others who want to play football. Me personally have no connection with either team playing, did not attend either school, I don`t know a single player or cheerleader or band member, So i`m not going to be one of those fans that will cry after the game or find the need to go rioting in the street. I don`t care! I`ll see it on the 11:00 news. People complain about Tom getting the schedule out ASAP and when he does and has to scheduling a game on this day to get it done you still complain. Find another league or start your own.

You might get your wish....

;	If you really wanna watch the game, then explain to your team that you won`t be at the game tonight. You knowingly signed up for this league, and if your eally wanted to watch this game, you shouldve told your Coach to notify Tom that Monday, 4/6/2009, woul dnot be a good night to play. I guarantee he woulve listened. Its a little late to do that now though on the day of the game.

;	Not so fast, games are being played at Lake FFX. Rain or Shine policy in affect. Only thing stopping these games are a T-storm. I would assume Tom would have gotten to all the coaches last week about schedule changes if possible,but once he commits refs to show up tonight games are on. That would be wasted money if he cancels games, he has to paythe refs regardless, I`m not for increase league fees because of a basketball game I`m not playing in. Only option to getting games switched would be to pay for refs out of pocket. Allow Tom to switch the games and on your rescheulde game day each team pays for their refs out of pocket so Tom doesn`t have to put up more loot. So all coaches need to hit Tom up and let him know your willing to pay for extra refs and possible field space. I don`t play on Monday`s so I`m not fitting your bill!

;	tom, do you think it would be possible for every team to submit their favorite TV shows that you can schedule around also? i don`t care about basketball, but i really wish i didn`t have to miss kath & kim on Thursdays. i think flag football should schedule around all the teams tv watching schedules.

;	Agreed. Have every coach send me a list of their favorite TV shows and what time they air, and I will redo the schedule to accomidate certain hit TV series such as Gossip Girls, Brothers and Sisters, How I Met ********, American Idol, 24, and of course my personal favorite, Desperate Housewives. I apologize for not thinking of this sooner.
