- We draft new teams every season. (no "team" entries)
- All players are guaranteed significant playing time regardless of ability.
- Each team plays twice per week, resulting in a 28 game regular season schedule.
- Each team is guaranteed 6 playoff games.
- ***NOTE: Every attempt will be made to get the full regular season schedule and playoff games in however some situations outside of our control (i.e. covid-19 restrictions or unusual weather) may force us to reduce the length of the regular season and/or playoffs.)
