Hi Everyone. Most games are okay so far, however, we've had a number of issues that we must deal with quickly before things get worse. As some of you know, this league has been around for about 23 years - I never intended to run a league - it just happened - I started a pickup group with about 2 or 3 rules, and the style of play just took off.
