Q. How do I join?
A. Once registration is open for the season, the captain of the team registers first under a special link on the registration page. Once your captain has registered they will let the players on that team know it’s time to visit the league website and register online. While registering you will insert the team name in the appropriate box. Once you have registered and paid with your Visa/MasterCard your name will appear in the Teams/Roster section under your team name. During registration you will be asked for the nickname and number you would like on your league issued t-shirt. You will receive your shirt the day of your first game. Please note that it may take up to one business day after you register for your name to appear online under your team name.
Q. Can you help me find a couple players to fill the minimum number of players needed to form a team?
A. We certainly have a good number of people that are looking for teams and we should be able to help you.
Q. What’s up with the individual registration instead of a flat team registration?
A. We decided from the start that asking the team captains to act as debt collectors isn’t fair and takes away most of the fun for them. Any experienced captain would tell you that he/she has been shorted on money from players and we wanted to put an end to that. If the players take the time to register and pay individually they are more likely to show up and play. This also serves our purpose to issue individual team shirts and knocks out the waiver in one punch. If you want to pay a single payment for your team we can work something out.
Q. I want to play but don’t have a team, can I still register?
A. Each season the league has a wild card team. You simply click on the registration link and select on the “looking for a team” option on the registration page. The wild card team is basically formed by individuals wanting to play but don’t have enough people together to start a team. This is a great way to make friends and find a team that is looking for additional players for the following season. This team will be managed by league officials until a captain has been selected and you have been in contact with him/her. These players are also eligible to be picked up by teams looking for players.
