Countdown to Wifflefest 16 - October 2, 2021

13 Teams to compete for Wifflefest 6 crown

Cross your fingers all you Wifflefest competitors, you will need all the luck you can get. Thirteen teams are confirmed to participate in the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest 6. That total equals the highest amount of teams to date in the six year history of the glorious wiffling event. Some would think that excitment and anticipation would be filling the halls of the Osborne household, with so many teams ready to fight it out. Those thoughts would be wrong. "I would really rather have 12 or 14 teams", says Justin Osborne, founder, creator and provider of awesomeness of Wifflefest. "I mean, it is October and we have 13 teams coming. Kind of spooky", Osborne explains as he makes a ghoolish laugh. While most of the teams have participated in the past, there is a handful of new comers.
 
 
First round matchups include, but are not limited to:
 
KOHLS A-Team vs. The Naturals 
(One team is worried about having enough players, the others got their t-shirts on a 90% closeout special)
 
AV Rocks vs. The Unfortunates
(After a disappoint Wifflefest 5 AV Rocks is out for more excitement, the Unfortunates hope to provide that and more)
 
Las Tortugas vs. The Carpetbaggers
(the Turtles have been a force the past couple of years and are primed for a deep run, while the Carpetbaggers have a thumb out and want you to scratch their belly...)
 
Crazy Ninjas vs. Kryptonite
(Crazy Ninjas shirt color = neon green = Krpytonite= close game)
 
Brown Bombers vs. Philibusters
(Craig Hutson's old team vs. Craig Hutson's new team.... deciding factor will not be Craig Hutson)
 
Waiting in the wing with first round byes will be past Wifflefest champion Sean's Sluggers, reigning Wifflefest champions the River Monsters, and Wifflefest 5 runner-up the Thundercats.
 
You better start practicing.
