BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

PLAYER POOL

The Player Pool will consist of 180 players from each of the 18 participating schools. Each school will have two (2) players eligible at each of the five (5) positions; Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward and Center.   

FAN VOTE

The Master Game Face Challenge Vote Application opens to a landing page where the fan is greeted by a brief welcome to the app with and two links; one leading to an instruction page with detailed step by step mechanics of the vote app and another which leads to the Vote Page.

The Vote Page opens to a ballot with two teams labeled Team Chris and Team Borgie. Each team has a roster of five players each of a different position; Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward and Center. Each roster spot has an image placeholder of the Master Oil Control Logo.  Clicking on the Master logo will bring up a drop down page which has a list of all eligible players for that position. When a fan selects a player from that pool, the selected player’s picture will replace the Master Logo and the players name and school affiliation will be listed beneath the photo. When the fan has selected filled out his roster by selecting a player for each position the ballot can then be submitted.

When the ballot has been submitted, the fan will land on a page with a thanking them for casting their vote and a list of dates to remember- Announcement of the All Star Roster on May 25 and the Master Game Face Challenge on June 1.

The Fan Vote will close on May 19.

COACHES SELECTION

After the starting line-ups for both teams have been selected by the Fan Vote, the coaches- Chris Tiu and Borgie Hermida- will select the Master Game Face Challenge Reserves. The coaches will select 13 players each to round out their rosters from the remaining eligible player pool. Coaches will be encouraged to select at least one player from each participating team. Coaches will also be dissuaded from selecting a player if that player’s team already has three players representing them at the Master Game Face Challenge. The coaches will also make selections with regard to player positions and will build a roster with competitive balance; ie a balance of guards, forwards and centers.

The coaches will be required to submit their rosters by May 24.

ROSTER ANNOUNCEMENT

The full Master Game Face Challenge rosters will be announced on May 25 on Studio 23 between the first and second games of the day.
