SUMMER LEAGUE IS ON!
TUC Summer League begins this week and runs all summer long through to the first week after Labour Day. We hope that you enjoy Summer League and you remember to ALWAYS PLAY WITH SPIRIT. Here are a few quick notes on TUC Summer League:
- If you know of someone who’d like to sign up as an individual to be placed on a team there are still spots available on some nights. Contact the TUC office.
- Summer League game starts are indicated as 6:30pm (with the possible exception of late games on premier fields). We realize 6:30pm is a tough time to start, but that is when our permits begin. We ask that you aim to start your game BY 6:45pm and definitely no later than 7pm. Please try to arrive early out of respect for your opponent.
- Games go to 17 points, but you must win by two points (or hard cap of 19). Games can end earlier due to time cap or upon agreement of the captains (ie. inclement weather).
- Each team is allowed 2 timeouts per game and there are no overtime or universe point timeouts
- - Gender ratio is 4:3 (male:female) but teams can go 3:4 with the pulling team matching the receiving team. Hat teams that are very short on female players should be allowed to play 5:2 – use SPIRIT in all cases.
Captains Notes:
Membership Package Notes:
If your captain did not pickup your membership package at the captain’s meeting, then you can pickup your package at the TUC office, or upcoming TUC events, beginning May 31.
