PLAY AT THE APPROPRIATE SKILL LEVEL & RINGERS

  • League Director reserves the right to move/remove players and teams who are clearly more skilled than the league they sign up for.

  • Players/Teams will be moved divisions if they dominate the competition repeatedly by way of:

    • Skating end to end multiple times in a game(s)
    • Ramping up their ability week to week to tie/win the game
    • Are clearly more skilled than the level they play in

  • It is understood that some players may want to play down to play with friends or family, but they must PLAY DOWN, PUMP THE BRAKES and MAKE THAT LEVEL ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYBODY.

  • The goal is for each division to be competitive.  Close games and similar skill are ideal for a great league.

  • Every attempt will be made to place Free Agents by the end of October

    • In the event we are unable to place you by the end of October, a full refund will be issued
    • Please save your credit card when placing your deposit.  When you are placed the balance will be charged.  If the charge fails, the spot will go to the next available free agent.

  • Placement will start on 9/17.  I will move as quickly as possible to get players placed.

    This process takes time and I have other duties while performing placements.  Please be patient.  I will try to send out weekly updates to the free agent pool.

    Once placed, you will receive an email ‘Welcome to your new team’.  Please check spam and junk just in case.

    Reminder, as you are placed, the balance remaining will be charged to your card.  If payment does not process for any reason, decline, insufficient funds, account closed, etc, the next player in the queue will be placed.  Please have a valid card stored to process payment or refund deposits to.
