How do standings work for each division?

Standings are based on points: for a win a team receives 3 points, a loss 1 point, and forfeit is 0 points. In the event of a tiebreaks the league bases it on the teams head-to-head during the regular season (wins against and then +/-).

How much time do we get for warm up?

Every game a team will be provided with a minimum of 10 minutes for warm up.

When and where are games played?

Games are scheduled either day of the week except on Saturdays and games are only played at Powerplex or Brother Rice.
