Signup Periods
Registration will open on the morning of May 23, 2011, and will close at noon on June 6th, 2011. It is a relatively short window of time, so be sure to mark your calendars and register without delay as spots will be granted on a first paid basis and players who do not register during that interval of time risk not being included on the initial draft list.
The registration form will remain up and active until (and even beyond) the June 6th deadline even if maximum capacity is reached beforehand. If maximum capacity is already reached by the time you register, you will be prompted that you are registering onto a waitlist, and you will not be asked to pay just yet. Waitlisted registrants will be contacted by the GMDA Board in order of registration time stamp if and when a spot opens.
Summer League 2011 will have either 12 or 16 teams. The decision on number of teams will be made by the GMDA Board at the closing of registration based on the number of registrants. Nevertheless, registration will be capped at 160 men and 64 women, based on a scenario of 16 teams X 14 players (10 men, 4 women.)
Payment/Refunds
The cost to play is $60/person. One price for all with the exception of the captains who get free admission. As for refunds, players who withdraw from League at any point in time are not guaranteed a refund. The GMDA Board processes refund requests on a case by case basis.
Schedule/Location
Summer League 2011 will consist of 9 league games played every Tuesday evening from June 21st, 2011 to August 16, 2011 inclusively. Games will be played at the Central School in Williston, and possibly at Calahan Park in Burlington as well, depending on the number of teams. Directions to these fields can be found on the website under Resources/Directions. A detailed schedule will be posted on the website before game 1 under Summer League/Schedule.
There will be two game slots each night: 8 PM to 9:30 PM, and 9:30 PM to 11 PM. A detailed schedule will be posted on the website before game 1 under Winter League/Schedule.
Attendance Policy
Please note that the GMDA Board has established a new attendance policy where team captains are required to report to the GMDA Board any and all players who have been "MIA" for two (2) weeks i.e. players with two (2) uninformed/unexcused absences. These players will systematically be removed from League and replaced by the next player in line on the waitlist, hence the importance of communication between team members and captains. Also, please note that the GMDA Board is looking to reduce team size this season to promote playing time and integration of new players, therefore attendance will be particularly important and captains are encouraged to pay close attention to commitment level when drafting team members.
