REGULAR SEASON and PLAYOFF FORMAT: The league’s standard templates for 5 or 6 team score sheets will be used.
Forfeiture: Any team that has less than 4 players on the day of play officially forfeits.

If a shortfall occurs during playoffs, the team will play with a maximum of 5 players, rotating without a loss of point.
