Web site accounts will be setup for organization coordinators once the league has received all information regarding your organization. Coordinators will receive an email from the league with information regarding their accounts. Organization coordinators will have access to a one page portal that gives them the ability to communicate with the league, other organizations, and their coaches. The portal also allows coordinators to setup their gym availability as well as maintain a schedule for gyms that they manage if they would like.

There are several links on your portal that will allow you to perform multiple types of gym closures. You will be able to postpone all games scheduled for a specific day for a gym that you manage. You will also be able to postpone specific games for instance if you need to cancel morning games but feel you can have your facility open later in the day. Please note that when you close a facility, notifications are sent to all subscribers of teams that were scheduled top play in your facility that day.

Each member organization is responsible for communicating to the league when a gym has been closed. Gym closures that do not affect league game play do not have to be communicated to the league. When a gym has been closed that postpones scheduled league games, the following will occur: 1) a text message or email will be sent to all web site account holders that have subscribed to teams affected by the gym closure; 2) a message will be displayed on the front page of the web site listing all gyms that are currently closed; 3) a league announcement will be posted to the web site, tweeted to our Twitter account, and sent to all web site account holders that have subscribed to league announcements if all games for a specific day have been postponed. We've got you covered!

Not necessarily. The league will do the best it can to reschedule matches that were postponed due to inclement weather. This decision will need to be made in conjunction with member organizations as the ability to reschedule games is largely dependent on the availability of gym time to play these games. Games will initially be marked as postponed on the schedule and will either be moved to a rescheduled status or a canceled status.

Please contact your coordinator if you either do not have enough players to field a team or none of the coaches can attend the game. The league will only entertain these types of requests in extreme circumstances. All teams were given the opportunity to communicate schedule conflicts before the season schedule was completed.
