Registration typically opens in late summer, giving you time to gather teammates, choose divisions, and plan practices around academic demands. Coaches and referees keep games fair while emphasizing skill development and inclusion.
By mid-October, many leagues shift to championship brackets, where the top teams earn trophies and bragging rights that last until the next season.

Special formats like round-robin followed by single-elimination playoffs keep every match meaningful and encourage teams to show up prepared.
