CHANGES FOR 2020:
>>PLEASE BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF WHEN MAKING YOUR CHOICE BELOW.
This possible change will lead to tighter competition and more evenly matched teams. It'll also lead to more fun had by everyone!
In order to make this work, we need 24+ current players to help start new 7v7 teams to compete in the new division along with the Blue Ballers and Fightin' Gingers. The remaining 8 teams will convert to 5v5 game play. Both divisions will get the same treatment - and both would have play offs and championships. We will continue to play on the same night and time and reconvene at Brunzies to hang out together! Both divisions will be competitive but 5v5 style games tend to have less contact.
This change will result in some big benefits:
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
- REGISTRATION FEE:
The rapid expansion of the league has increased our costs tremendously (more equipment, more referees, field paint, equipment storage) and unfortunately we cannot continue offering the bargain basement rate of $40.00 for 12 weeks of football, a custom designed shirt, and free end of season party. It's simply not sustainable with 10 teams and 130+ women. (For point of reference, the Pittsburgh Flag League charges $95.00 for 6 weeks). That being said, Julie and I began this league with the mission of keeping it affordable for everyone so we have decided to only raise the price of registration to $65.00. Thank you for understanding! - NICER SHIRTS:
We are upgrading shirts from the oh so cheap and scratchy Gildan 2000 to Next Level Apparel Cotton Crew (same as our Mud Bowl shirts). These higher quality shirts are factored into the price. Unfortunately there are no tanks with backs big enough to fit all the sponsor logos so we have to stick with t-shirts. - NEW DIVISION:
We've been getting feedback from players that they want to keep playing but want to take the intensity down a notch and make games more fun and evenly matched. To respond to these concerns we are adding another division to the league. The Hard Core Division will continue to play 7v7 style games. The new Recreational Division will play 5v5 style games (less crowded, more simple, smaller fields).

This change will result in some big benefits:
- Players will be able to play competitively at their level of athleticism and interest. We aren't all college athletes and those who are/were also deserve to be able to play without worrying about injuring others.
- We no longer will need to use the terrible field on the far side (the one with the large dips) and this will reduce ankle/knee injuries.
- It will allow us to open up another 10 spots for 2020 (assuming everyone returns) and with the way things have been going, we need to have some spaces open for newbies.
- WE CAN FINALLY PLAY USING BRACKETS RATHER THAN ROUND ROBIN!! This means you will be playing teams more evenly matched with you more often. Dividing the league means you get in those "revenge" rematches we all love so much!
PAYMENT OPTIONS:
- You can pay online right after you submit your registration (you'll automatically redirected).
- You can mail Kaycee a check before December 1st.
