WHAT IF MY TEAM DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH PLAYERS TO START A GAME?

Game time is forfeit time! All teams not having the minimum number of players to start a game will be assessed a $25 forfeit fee. This fee must be paid before your next scheduled game. If you know you will not have enough players, you may call at least 24 hours in advance to your scheduled game and the forfeit fee will be waived, but you will still receive a loss. Two forfeits will result in removal from the league.
