2010 Winter League

Regarding Winter League Sign-ups... Please read this in its entirety.

The 10th Annual Winter league 2010 will take place on Sunday nights at Bethel starting January 17 and lasting 9 weeks. Games will be 5 on 5, 3/2 Co-ed with an agreement between captains as to gender breakup before each game. The DEFAULT will be 3 men and 2 women, but if captains can agree to 3 women and 2 men or receiving team decides, GREAT!

The Schedule will be as follows, with games on the hour (6, 7, 8, 9pm):

• Jan 17
• Jan 31
• Feb 7
• Feb 14
• Feb 21
• Feb 28
• Mar 14
• Mar 21
• Mar 28

Each game time is scheduled for an hour. You may use the first 5-10 minutes for warm-up, and should try to be early to agree on how this will be done with the other captain. The schedule is made with the best intentions of getting everyone games at all times, so that your team doesn't have to hurry up and rush out of work to make the 6:00 game every week. I also don't intend you to have to play all your games at the latest time possible. Whether your games start on time, they need to end on time so that the next round has equal opportunity to play their games with the entire time allotted to them. Thank you for abiding by this. This is largely a spirit issue. We're all here for the same reason. We want to play. Your game is only as important as everyone else. Please remember that it is NOT more important.

Official league rules are as follows: Only one timeout per game, no half, and DO NOT start a point that MAY cause a tie with less than 5 minutes to play.

Like last year, I will not make any breakdown as to the number of spots that are REC or Advanced per se, but rather will schedule around the level of skill of the registered teams!

Like the last few years, we are fortunate again to use TCUL's registration system to expedite the process for registration and scheduling. The registration process is two-fold. You will first sign-up via the link below to start the registration process. If you've played any sort of TCUL league in 2005-2009, your information will already be in the system. If not, you'll need to enter it (you will receive no spam) as well as enter at least 5 other players (3 total men and 3 total women). I'm not super concerned about player phone numbers or addresses, but valid email addresses are required for all players on your roster, in case anything should go out regarding weather cancellations or something like that. Please do make sure to have captain phone numbers for sure, and having a co-captain listed as such is a good idea. Jersey color is not necessary, but you'll need to enter something as the database requires it. In fact, please use this spot in the registration process to enter your team name from last year if you are signing up a team with history who has undergone a name change.

Preference will go to teams who have participated in the past. If you register, and do not get a spot, you will get a full paypal refund within a week.

Hopefully you've read everything carefully up till this point. To be considered for a spot, your fee is the next step. This year the rate is again $425 to secure a spot, and send paypal to mnwinterleague@gmail.com.

Thanks
