    According to the details this is at the same location as last year. We had two SoB teams last year with one team making it to the championship game. I have organized things for the previous two years and would be happy to do so again. I assume that the Union will be taking a much more active role this year as this is an MLS event. Hopefully this year the SoB's can have a big presence and we can have our own group. We have been offered this the previous two years but have not had enough players to make it happen. I'm sure they would offer it to us again if we can get enough players. We needed to get at least 4 teams to make it happen before so I would assume we would need at least the same this year. It would be cool to have an annual SoB Cup for Futbolito. Let's see what we can do this year.

    I will most likely be playing by the time this comes up. I'll be wicked hardcore out of shape, but I'll play.

    I played and helped out the very first year, but missed the past few due to vacations. Looks like I'm clear for August 21st (right now), so I could be in for this!

    I don't remember what it was exactly but it will depend on the number of players. I think it was somewhere around $25-$30 per person last year. For that you get at least 3 games, a T-Shirt, and whatever other free stuff the sponsors are handing out that day.

    I am going to contact a Futbolito reprsentative next week to see if we can get an SoB group this year. As I said in years past we only needed 4 teams to make it happen so I see no reason why we can't make it happen.

    If anyone is interested in playing for an SoB team in Futbolito or putting a team together to compete in the SoB group PM me so I can get a head count.

    Thanks

    I finally heard back from the Futbolito guys and they have confirmed that we need 4 teams to have our own division. I propose we start a new tradition and institute the Jolly Franklin Cup. We can get someone to make up a trophy and maybe put names on it and the champions get to keep it until the next year similar to the Stanley Cup. I can only imagine the bragging rights and songs and chants that could arise from this.

    So for those interested please let me know so we can start to get players and teams together to make this happen. Either post here or PM me if you are interested.

    So far I have 5 people who are in and maybe 3 more. I would rather not wait until the last minute to get this organized so please let me know if you are interested in playing.

    Again we need only 4 teams to get our own SoB division which is a minimum of 16 people. The roster maximum per team is 8 and the minimum is 4.

    This will be my last attempt to get teams together for Futbolito. I have made repeated attempts to try to drum up interest and apparently there is very little. Currently we have enough people to put together one team and Divot said he had almost a full team. That is two teams provided Divot's team doesn't include any of the people that posted interest in this thread. I am setting my deadline for tomorrow at midnight for anyone who is still interested. If I don't get more interest by then I am not going to organize this event. The truth is that I have another function that I am blowing off because I committed to Futbolito and runnning the SoB division. If that doesn't happen than my presence will not be required at Futbolito if there is only one or two teams.

    So again this the last chance for getting an SoB division in Futbolito if you are interested post here or PM me.
