FAQs
How long is the season?
A regular season will run for 7 weeks (weather pending) followed by a playoff week comprised of the top performing teams which then leads to a championship match.
On your league nights, you will play at least 2 matches and may ref 1 match. A regular season match will consist of 2 games per opponent (NOT BEST OF 3). Your Wins and Losses in these matches will cumulatively determine your standings for playoffs.
Playoff matches will usually be best of 3 games. Each game is played up to 11 points with side-out scoring capped at 15 points.
