A $100 League Commitment Fee is included in each team's registration fee.

This amount will be refunded at the conclusion of the league season provided the team:

• Participates in the league as scheduled.

• Complies with all league rules and policies.

Teams will forfeit the $100 League Commitment Fee if:

• They cancel within three (3) days of any scheduled league play date, or

• They are a no-show for any league play dates without prior approval from league directors.

This policy helps us maintain accurate scheduling, ensure competitive divisions, and minimize last-minute cancellations and no-shows that negatively impact other teams and the overall league experience.

League Format

Each grade level will feature two competitive divisions:

The schedule for the first three (3) weeks of league play will be predetermined based on team registration and our initial placement process.

Following the completion of the first three weeks, league standings and team performance will be evaluated. Teams may be moved between the Gold and Silver Divisions to create the most competitive and balanced matchups for the remainder of the season.

Grade Level Placement

• Teams are welcome to play up one grade level from the start of the season.

• During the first three weeks, teams will remain in the grade level in which they registered.

• Following the first three weeks of league play, the league reserves the right to move teams down one grade level, if appropriate, to create more competitive games and improve the overall league experience.

• All division and grade-level adjustments will be made solely at the discretion of league directors.

Our goal is to create the most competitive and enjoyable environment possible by ensuring teams are matched with opponents of similar ability throughout the season.
