2010 intramural flag football season underway at Osan

There may have been no tailgate parties, but this year's intramural flag football season kicked off Sept. 13., coinciding with the National Football League's opening weekend.

Even without reality shows - or even locker rooms - flag football is one of the most anticipated and exciting intramural sports here.

"Flag football is a huge morale boost," said Senior Airman Larry Roberts, wing staff agency team captain. "It gives units an opportunity to play together towards a common goal while providing friendly competition with other units on base."

Intramural teams are organized as two leagues: Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday.

Each league consists of 10 teams, with the top four at season's end qualifying for the playoffs. The final regular-season game is currently scheduled Nov. 4.

Current standings are:

Monday/Wednesday league
51st FSS: 2-0
MUNS: 2-0
Det. 2: 1-0
51st MDG: 1-0
WSA: 1-1
51st Comm.: 1-1
51st OG: 1-2
694th ISRG: 0-1
731st AMS: 0-1
51st MOS: 0-2

Tuesday/Thursday league
"C" Btry.: 2-0
AMXS: 2-0
SFS: 1-1
LRS: 1-1
6th IS: 1-1
51st CES: 1-1
621st ACS: 1-1
MXS: 1-2
5th RS: 0-2
607th ASOG: 0-2

It's a long season, and with only eight teams out of 20 even qualifying for post-season play, the competition is intense. Which is exactly why playing in, or even just attending, the games is so much fun.

This week's scheduled games are:

Sept. 27
7 p.m. - 51st CS vs. 694th ISRG
8 p.m. - 51st OG vs. 51st MOS
9 p.m. - 51st FSS vs. WSA
