Once registration closes and all teams have been formed, the schedule will be released by the last Wednesday before the 1st game date. Everyone registered will be notified via email when the schedule is available. Games will be played inside gyms primarily in the San Jose / Santa Clara area.
Games begin. Games primarily are played Sundays but there may be some weeks when games are on Saturday due to holiday or lack of gym availability on Sundays. Teams may also have double headers on 1 day depending on the number of teams in a division and number of games in the season.
The last weekend of the season is tournament time. All teams qualify for the post season tournament. Depending on number of teams within a division, we try to break up a division to create more competitive games by matching the top teams vs top teams, middle vs middle, and bottom vs bottom (If enough teams to do so).
