General Info

Thank you for your interest in the Easy League.  Leagues are ideal training grounds for new teams. Experienced teams can use the league sessions to try out new ideas and work out issues in a less competitive environment.

This league will have six small qualification sessions.  Teams will choose three sessions to attend and can even skip one session (attending only two) without adversely impacting their ranking.  

All qualification sessions will be on weekdays so that league teams can attend other competitions held on Saturdays.  (Except Saturday, 12/7, the day of league finals)

Each session has a maximum team capacity. Sessions held at Notre Dame have a 24-team capacity, and sessions held at Cranbrook and Imlay City have a 16-team capacity.   Session assignments will be made starting Monday, September 23.  Teams that register after that day may have limited session choices.  Teams can trade sessions with a 24-hour notice.   Teams can register for more than three sessions if extra space is available.

Not all qualification sessions will offer Skills.  There will be a separate Skills Only session the day before finals.
