General FAQ's
- We've got a Points Match this week. What do we do?
- A Points Match, is a space in the league, which usually occurs when we have taken a team out for disciplinary reasons. If you are scheduled to play one of these games, we will arrange a match for you. If you are due to play one of these games then you need to turn up, pay the match fee in full and you will be awarded a 5-0 victory. Please note that if you do not turn up to play the match you will lose 5-0, and be liable for double fees the following week.
- What if we cannot fulfil a fixture because we are on vacation?
- If you are going on holiday then please give us a call to let us know at least seven days in advance. This way you will avoid a charge, but you will still lose the game 5-0.
- I have called or emailed and you haven't replied. What is my next step?
- This is very discourteous, and furthermore we hope it never happens. We aim to respond to all telephone calls and emails within one working day. If, however, in the unlikely event you do not receive a response, you should email the main office and request to speak to a Senior Manager. The email address is [email protected]

- Yes, they are right here
- We Have Ladies In Our Team, Are They Allowed To Play?
- That isn't a problem. Ladies and mixed teams are allowed in all our leagues worldwide.

- What happens if our match is cancelled?

League Facts

- How much does it cost to play in a league and is there an entry fee?
- For most leagues there is an entry fee but for some we have offers of a reduced price or in some leagues, we will occasionally offer Free entry to teams. The cost of matches each week varies depending on the league, but is typically $30 - $55 for the whole team, which must be paid online or to the match officials
- How long is each season?
- Each team will play each other twice, so a typical eight team division will see the season last for 14 weeks.
