Wicked Aces in Ringler Division for WSEM 2012

   Whiteford has been placed in the Ringler Division of Wiffle in Southeast Michigan. The five-team division will consist of the WWA, Donkeys, Manchester Punchouts, Belgian Wiffles, and Jason Mattseals. The division winner will clinch a playoff berth and #1 or #2 seed.
   The Aces will play each team in their division 4 times (2 home, 2 away) and 12 inter-divisional games- 4 against a "rival" team, and 2 against the other four.
   
   Explanation of Ringler name from WSEM:
     Named for David Ringler, founder of the Fat Bastard Wiffle Ball tournament in Grand Rapids, MI. The Fattie is the most recognized Wiffle name in Michigan and has raised thousands of dollars for charitable causes over the years.
     The Ringler Division mark takes its inspiration from the logo of Fat Bastard Wiffle Ball, with the five holes representing the five teams. While the WSEM league logo showcases the pitching aspect of the game, the division logos use the yellow handle of a Wiffle bat to promote the offensive side.

WWA Name/Logo to Change for WSEM Play

It's official: the Whiteford Wiffleball Association's WSEM team will be known as the Whiteford Wicked Aces. The team will usually be referred to as Whiteford or the Aces for short. The name and logos were designed using specific guidelines. First and foremost, they allow the team to preserve its history-- the acronym "WWA" remains, and team colors are unchanged. The name "Aces" refers both to the team's plan to utilize many pitchers (rather than a single "ace" pitcher) throughout the season and to the poker-like strategy found in wiffleball games (mostly kidding about that). The logo set for 2012 includes a main logo, a simplified version of the logo, an alternate script logo, two versions of a poker-themed alternate logo, and the classic WWA logo (as a "retro" alternate).
