Just found out that Julie has to work next Wednesday night. Does anybody in the league have an objection to us making next week Team #1 vs Team #3, and the week after Team #2 vs Team #3? So just flipping the two games?

WEEK 15 REPORT...

So that's it for the regular season! Playoffs begin next week.

I want to once again publicly thank Eva and Pete for their overwhelming hospitality at Sideways. This is one of the friendliest restaurant and bar atmospheres I have ever seen, and it starts with the owners and their staff. Karaoke will be continuing on on Wednesday night at Sideways after the NKL is over!

Here are the final regular season standings. In the brackets are weeks participated, wins-losses, total points (including any bonus points), and points-per-week average. The points-per-week average is roughly what I used to create the playoff teams, which are below. I believe they are as even as possible considering the talent we have in the league.

1. Sherry-Lou (14, 22-6, 218, 15.57)
2. Hailey (12, 17-7, 148, 12.33)
3. Jim (14, 8-20, 136, 9.71)
4. Kim (10, 16-4, 129, 12.9)
5. Derek (15, 5-25, 98, 6.53)
6. Julie (3, 6-0, 60, 20.0)
7. Brooke (5, 2-8, 25, 5.00)
8. Rob (1, 1-1, 12, 12.0)
9. Kennedy (1, 0-2, 3, 3.0) *
10. Eva (1, 0-2, 2, 2.0)
T11. Diane (1, 0-1, 1, 1.0)
T11. Kate (1, 0-1, 1, 1.0)

* -- Kennedy appointed Leno as her substitute in week 3, and her record reflects what happened in those two games.

NOTE: All point totals include bonuses for ordering food items at Sideways.

So then, here are the teams for the playoffs.

TEAM #1
Kim (Captain)
Jim
Eva/Kennedy/Diane/Kate *

TEAM #2
Julie (Captain)
Hailey
Derek

TEAM #3
Sherry-Lou (Captain)
Rob **
Brooke

* -- None of Eva, Kennedy, Diane, or Kate can commit to be there for sure for both playoff games, but Eva has assured me that one of them will participate in each of the games...might be a different one for each game, but there will be someone for that team.

** -- Rob found out yesterday that his surgery will fall right in the middle of playoffs, so he has asked that since Cecil agreed to fill in for him, that we do that. Cecil will substitute for Rob.

POINT SYSTEM: A reminder of how scoring works in the NKL playoffs.

Each game will consist of four rounds. The first three rounds will be solo songs with every member of your team singing. The fourth will be a duet, with two members from your team. PLEASE NOTE: The captain will determine the order your team will sing in rounds one, two, and three, and must give that order to me before the game.

Points will be awarded to your team as follows:

- For every judge that awards a win to a singer or duet from your team, your team gets 1 point.
-For every round where the singer or duet from your team wins the best-of-three judges against the other team, your team gets 1 point.
- If your team wins the game (3 out of 4 rounds), your team gets 2 points.
- If your team ties the game (2 out of four rounds), your team gets 1 point.
- For every singer or duet that sings a song in that week's theme, your team gets 1 point.
- For every singer on the team that orders a food item, your team gets 1 point.

The team that accumulates the most points over the three weeks of round-robin will win the $1,000 prize. If there is a tie, we will have a one song "sing-off" where all three singers on each team pick one song to all sing together and the best team according to the judges will win.

Here are the playoff dates and themes selected:

APRIL 3 -- Team #1 vs Team #2
THEME: Animals. The song title or artist name must have an animal in it.

APRIL 10 -- Team #2 vs Team #3
THEME: Food and Drink. The song title or artist name must have a food item or drink in it.

APRIL 17 -- Team #1 vs Team #3
THEME: Relatives. The song title or artist name must have a family member (son, daughter, brother, sister, etc) in it.

That's it for this week. Don't forget to come to Sideways hungry on Wednesday, so you can enjoy some of that terrific food and score your team some bonus points!

The team that accumulates the most points over the three weeks of round-robin will win the $1,000 prize.

WEEK 14 REPORT...

So, we are down to the last week of regular season! After tonight, I will do one double check of all weeks of scoring to make sure my math has been right, then we will award the regular season winner her $250 prize next week to kick of the playoffs!

I want to once again publicly thank Eva and Pete for their overwhelming hospitality at Sideways. This is one of the friendliest restaurant and bar atmospheres I have ever seen, and it starts with the owners and their staff. Karaoke will be continuing on on Wednesday night at Sideways after the NKL is over!

Here are the updated standings after week fourteen. In the brackets are weeks participated, wins-losses, and total points (including any bonus points, points-per-week average). The points-per-week average will be used to determine which playoff team you are on. This will even out the teams.

1. Sherry-Lou (13, 21-5, 196, 15.08)
2. Hailey (11, 16-6, 131, 11.91)
3. Jim (13, 7-19, 114, 8.77)
4. Kim (9, 14-4, 107, 11.89)
5. Derek (14, 5-23, 86, 6.14)
6. Julie (2, 4-0, 38, 19.0)
7. Brooke (4, 2-6, 23, 5.75)
8. Rob (1, 1-1, 12, 12.0)
9. Kennedy (1, 0-2, 3, 3.0) *
10. Eva (1, 0-2, 2, 2.0)
T11. Diane (1, 0-1, 1, 1.0)
T11. Kate (1, 0-1, 1, 1.0)

* -- Kennedy appointed Leno as her substitute in week 3, and her record reflects what happened in those two games.

NOTE: All point totals include bonuses for ordering food items at Sideways.

POINT SYSTEM: A reminder of how scoring works in the NKL. Every game you win you get 3 pts, and every game you lose you get 1 pt. Every judge that picks you as the winner in either game is worth 1 pt. So your minimum just for showing up and singing is 2 pts. (lose two games, no judges declare you the winner), and the maximum is 12 pts. (All three judges pick you as the winner of both games, and you win both). Then you also get your food and other bonuses. So even if you don't think you can win, come on out! You can still gain points and get on a team to win a share of the $1,000!

NEXT WEEK'S THEMES:

From now on, we will have open theme weeks, but there will be one theme that will give a bonus. This week's theme is...

TRANSPORTATION -- The song title or artist name must have something to do with any form of transportation.

Should be fun!

- If you bring a friend to join the NKL, you will get a 10 point bonus and we will qualify them for the playoffs.

- In the playoffs, there will be no themes. However, the playoff format will be laid out in a post on the page immediately following this post.

- Remember if you order any food item, you will get five bonus points, and this applies to every week of the NKL. The bonus points will be different for playoffs, but still there.

That's it for this week. Don't forget to come to Sideways hungry on Wednesday, so you can enjoy some of that terrific food and maybe earn some bonus points!

03/21/2019

FYI, because of the few weeks of no NKL, I am pushing the start of the playoffs back to begin on April 3 instead of next week, and run them for three weeks. Format to be posted tomorrow.

03/18/2019

As an FYI to all league members, I had a message from one member who might not be able to make it until 8-ish this week. She should know Wednesday afternoon. If she cannot make it for 7:30, we will start regular karaoke at 7:00-7:30 instead of the league, and start the league when she gets there. We'll consider the regular karaoke a "warm-up round" for the rest of us. ;)

WEEK 13 REPORT...

The NKL is going until April, so get into Sideways on Wednesdays and join in the fun! The more weeks you come out, the better your chances of accumulating enough points to qualify for a playoff team, and winning a share of the $1,000 grand prize for the championship team! I think we might have someone new this week!

I want to once again publicly thank Eva and Pete for their overwhelming hospitality at Sideways. This is one of the friendliest restaurant and bar atmospheres I have ever seen, and it starts with the owners and their staff.

Here are the updated standings after week thirteen. In the brackets are weeks participated, wins-losses, and total points (including any bonus points, points-per-week average). The points-per-week average will be used to determine which playoff team you are on. This will even out the teams.

From now on, we will have open theme weeks, but there will be one theme that will give a bonus. This week's theme is...

TIME -- The artist name or the title of the song must have a word or phrase in it that is somehow related to time.

Should be fun!

- From now on, if you bring a friend who is new to the NKL to join the league, you will get ten bonus points in the standings.

- Diane and Kate still have a make-up game next time they both come out. I know last time we saw Kate she was sick, so hopefully, we'll see them both again soon.

- In the playoffs, there will be no themes. However, the playoff format will be laid out in a post on the page soon.

- If you have still not paid your $20 entry fee, I am looking to get those as soon as possible, please.

- Remember if you order any food item, you will get five bonus points, and this applies to every week of the NKL.

- I have spoken to Eva, Pete, and Andrew about karaoke at Sideways beyond the NKL, and I am pleased to announce that we will be continuing on! We will be holding more or less regular karaoke, but will also feature the Secret Song contest. Stay tuned to this page for more information.

That's it for this week. Don't forget to come to Sideways hungry on Wednesday, so you can enjoy some of that terrific food and maybe earn some bonus points!

THE BEATLES -- Any song by The Beatles, any cover of a Beatles song, any original version of a song The Beatles covered, or any solo song any of The Beatles recorded.

CHART-TOPPERS -- Any song that reached #1.

ONE-WORD ARTISTS -- It could be an individual like Cher or Madonna, or a band like Kansas or Toto, but you cannot drop "The" from a band name to make it a one-word artist.

Should be fun!

From this week on, we will be drawing one theme per week, and it will be a theme for bonus points. It will essentially be open themes, but if you sing the theme you will get 5 bonus points in the standings.

- Still need a few more people to come on out and enjoy the NKL! We need at least 12 to participate in order to form the teams for the playoffs. So if you know someone who enjoys karaoke, tell them about Wednesday nights at Sideways! I have a few people I am still trying to nudge to come back out, and a few others who expressed interest, as well as a few friends I've been trying to convince to come out.

- Diane and Kate still have a make-up game next time they both come out. I know last time we saw Kate she was sick, so hopefully, we'll see them both again soon.

Just spoke to Eva, and due to the weather, once again we've decided to cancel. It stinks that this keeps happening on Wednesdays, but Mother Nature just refuses to cooperate.

Back at it next Wednesday, with this week's themes repeated!

IMPORTANT DATES:

MAR 6 -- We will draw themes as usual, but the only themes that can be drawn are themes we've already done, but nobody chose on those nights.

AFTER MARCH 6 -- We will switch to open theme nights, with one theme per week for bonus points. We will also start to work in more duet bonus point weeks, because the team format for playoffs will include duets!

- Still need a few more people to come on out and enjoy the NKL! We need at least 12 to participate in order to form the teams for the playoffs. So if you know someone who enjoys karaoke, tell them about Wednesday nights at Sideways! I have a few people I am still trying to nudge to come back out, and a few others who expressed interest, as well as a few friends I've been trying to convince to come out. Hopefully it expands now that the holidays are done! I also was DJ'ing at Sideways this past Saturday, and I think I talked a few karaoke enthusiasts into joining!

- Diane and Kate still have a make-up game next time they both come out. I know last time we saw Kate she was sick, so hopefully, we'll see them both again soon.
