Team Updates – A Friendly Reminder
Teams and volunteers should be sure to stay up to date on Team Updates. Team updates are released bi-weekly (twice a month) and cover any important in season rule changes or clarifications. Rule changes are made in the Competition Manual, while a separate document called Team Updates is posted which highlights the rule changes or clarifications made to the Competition Manual.  

Team Update emails will be sent out to anyone who has subscribed to the team update notifications. These notifications are separate from the standard team blast.  

If you are 18 years of age or older, please sign up for Team Updates here!
