Captains who register and pay for a full team retain complete control over their rosters, and can add or remove players as they see fit. Singles and Small Group registrants are combined together to form teams for the full season. Singles teams will receive their roster by email 48 hours prior to their first game.

The Event Coordinator will bring the equipment (which includes Wilson footballs, flags and markers) to the field, and will distribute it among the teams for that night. Players must bring light and dark shirts. Players are expected to help the EC set up and take down the fields for the night.
