As of April 24, we reached our limit of 8 teams. If you would like to be a captain in the FAll session, feel free to fill out the captain’s application below.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Recruit 4 to 5 members for your 3-player team at least one week before the session begins
• Establish a name for your team (subject to approval; family-friendly names only)
• Secure a host location where your team will play out of (only needs one table)

CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS

• If a team is stacked with all higher-skilled players, then lower rated teams will eventually grow discouraged and quit. For the overall health of the league, we’ll need to set some limits. Using APA skill levels, a team cannot exceed 15 points with the 3 members who are playing on any given night. Using Thursday night handicaps, a team cannot exceed 24. Use the most restrictive of the 2. To allow for possible increases of skill levels during a session, captains should try to recruit a couple lower rated players. This gives the team more flexibility when threatened with exceeding the set limits stated above.

• The league will pay the annual membership dues of those captains whose team: 1) consists of at least 4 members; 2) remains active for at least 2 sessions of the calendar year; 3) doesn’t drop out during a session.

REMINDER

• Be sure to also complete the membership application if you haven’t already.
