San Francisco: FAQ
Party.
Generally the early bird rate ranges from $60-$65/person before it goes up to the regular rate of $70-$75/person. The money goes towards many things - T-shirts, gym rentals, insurance, equipment, referees, occasionally some booze at the bar, taxes, prizes for the Playoff and Flip Cup Champions, etc. The list goes on. Make sure after you’ve registered that you submit your payment or else your registration will be deleted by the system after 2 hours.
Just click the blue “Register” button on the league page and follow the steps.
After you click the “Register” button select the option to sign up as a team captain. Once you’re all signed up invite your friends to join your team. There is actually an invite tool you can use when logged into the website that captains are strongly encouraged to take advantage of.
Usually teams have around 13-16 people, with the occasional very large team thrown in. You put 8 people on the court at the start of each game (at least 3 girls). Games go until everyone on a team gets out or 4 minutes is up and you play as many games as possible in the hour allotted. At the start of each game you can make substitutions. You need extra people on your roster because not everyone can make it every week and players often need to take breathers. Dodgeball is a taxing sport, particularly on the throwing arm. Until you have at least 8 guys and 5 girls on your roster your team will not be considered complete and we’ll have the right to add players to your team.

After you click the blue “Register” button select the option to join as a team player, then just find your friend’s team and follow the steps.
Yes, just select the free agent option after clicking the blue “Register” button. Once registration is closed down I'll put you onto a team that could use an extra person or create a team entirely of free agents.
