WAIT LIST PROCEss

Wait lists form when we reach the maximum number of players for a team and they are released when we reach the minimum for forming a 2nd team. It is highly likely that you will be placed on a team. Below shows the process.

Team 1 - max is 10 players

Waitlist forms at 10 for the next 6 players

Team 2 - min 16 players and maximum at 20 players

Waitlist forms at 20 for the next 4 players

Team 3 - minimum 24 players and maximum at 30 players

Our goal is to accommodate everyone and the waitlist process helps create a sense of urgency as we need to have teams formed before the registration deadline.
