Player Eligibility Requirements

Work with the admins and the other player to reschedule the match as soon as you know of any scheduling issue. If you need to change the date within 24 hours of the match, your team will forfeit that weeks game.

If you don't respond and don't show up for your game two weeks in a row, you will be removed from the active player list and will be removed from the league.

We hope to fill a minimum of 8 players per game. Depending on interest level, we may limit each game to 8 teams to fill an 7 week league...if we can fill 16 teams, we will do that - it is going to be determined based on the amount of interest we see in the coming weeks. If a game does not have at least 4 players, it will be removed from the active game list.
