Scheduling
Managers, please pay attention to Home vs. Away on the schedule when playing Double Headers. It creates scoring conflicts when games are played opposite of schedule. Rule of thumb: Host Field Team will be home in Game 2 (e.g. T-Rock will be Home team in Game 2 when games are at Trant, Senators will be home team in Game 2 when games are at Maury).
Any other queries regarding league scheduling, player, team, or administrative issues contact Brian Conley via email or Sandon Rogers via email.
