Well, folks, it’s finally here—the kickoff of the National Pop-A-Shot League! Thank you for signing up and testing this unique format with us, where teams compete virtually from all over.  Speaking of locations, one team is competing out of the back room of their t-shirt business! Employee morale has never been higher, I guarantee it. I can’t tell you how excited I am to watch this whole play out - I haven’t been this fired up since Auerbach got Bird to sign on the dotted line in ‘79.

And a quick reminder on the rules: each teammate is allowed to play up to 8 games by Thursday (9/25) at midnight, we’ll count your top 4. And help us out by emailing nick@popashot.net a video of one of those games per player. We know this is a trustworthy bunch, but we’ll use the video to validate our scores are tracking correctly, and maybe make a highlight reel or two.

Let’s make this first season one to remember. Play hard, have fun, and keep your eyes on the basket!

—Mr. Pop
