 How
many players are on a team's roster?
Teams will have from 6 to 8 players. If you only have
six players, either the next player to sign-up will
be added to your team or you may receive special guest
appearances from me (Wil) to help when needed
How
much does it cost to be on an Individual team?
Each player pays $95 for 12 games over 11 weeks. One
week each team will play two games, usually back to
back unless unavoidable. Players who join more than
one Individual team in a given session will receive
a $10 credit for each additional team on which they
play.
Can
I bring a friend when we’re going to be short
players?
No. Please don’t invite your friends to fill in.
All indi teams are considered league teams so please
let the league make all fill-ins. If you or a teammate
is going to miss a game, you need to email the league
and let us know. We will only send someone to fill in
if team is considerable low. It’s fun sometimes
to play with only 6 players, more minutes for everyone.
What
about skill level?
We form individual teams from players with similar skill
levels. Usually Indi teams are put in the lower divisions
(D or E), if we personally know the skill of certain
individuals we may create a higher-level team. However,
we have found that players who have not played together
need time to gel as a team. Therefore we usually start
them in a lower division while allowing for possible
upgrades at a later time
What
about team names & uniforms?
Each team has it's own team name and each player will
need to bring their own reversible jersey (black/white
jersey w/number). If players do not have jerseys, contact
the league office, we sell them for $20 each.
Do
I need to go buy a jersey?
Individual players are required to have a black/white
reversible jersey with a number. If you already have
one, you don’t need to purchase one. If you need
one, you may purchase one either from RecBasketball.com
or any sporting goods store. Our jerseys sell for $20.
Please note that undershirts much match the jersey color.
Do
I have my choice of days?
The league will form as many Indi teams as possible.
You can choose from Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. If
your day of choice is full, the league will start a
new team or offer you a different day (if there is no
other option). Please let us know if your schedule is
limited.
When
are game times?
Sunday game times:
These times range from 1:00pm to 8:00pm, with most games
played in the mid-afternoon.
Tuesday and/or Thursday
game times: These times range from 6:00pm-9:00pm.
The league cannot guarantee times and/or locations for
individual teams; we try our best to make the best possible
schedule. Look at these as possible starter teams from
which you can see and recruit players to create your
own team.
What
team will I be placed on?
We will place players on the team in which we think
will be the best fit. We cannot guarantee which team
you will be put on, but we will do our best to place
you on the most appropriate team. If you sign up with
friends or want to get on a friend's team, let us know.
This is always our first criterion when creating individual
teams
Can
I join with friends?
If you have any friends or co-workers who want to play
with you, they should register for them self. Simply
make a note on the registration form stating whom you
wish to play with. We will do our best to get you on
the same team.
Can
I be traded to another individual team?
To make it enjoyable for all players and to keep teams
equally competitive, we sometimes need to switch players
to different teams after the session has started. If
you signed up with a friend, we will, however, do our
best to keep you on the same team.
What
if I am in the wrong skill level?
Let us know after a few games. We will do our best to
move you to the correct team and correct skill level
if it is at all possible. This is not a guarantee or
promise sometimes players may have to get through the
session before adjustment is possible.
What
if I do not like the team?
There will be no refunds for any reason. 75% to 90%
of the players enjoy playing on these teams. Given a
few games, the kinks work themselves out. Very few of
those who sign up as an individual do not like the team.
If after 3 or 4 games you truly hate playing on your
team, please notify the league, I will try to get you
on a different team.
What
if I have to withdraw from the league?
Because it is so hard creating and running individual
teams we will not be able to reimburse anyone after
the schedule is made.
What
if I have to miss a game?
Individuals are required to email the league anytime
you know in advance you’re not going to make it
to the game. These teams only work if we communicate
with each other. Players that don’t show up or
inform the league prior to there absent can and will
be removed/replaced from their team and/or league after
the 3rd time in one season.
Who
should I talk to if I'm having problems with teammates?
RecBasketball.com needs to know when players are not
enjoyable to play with and why; if players are consistently
not showing up or there are other problems you may have
with the team - we need to know. Our goal is to oversee,
but not control the team. Some teams will have league-sponsored
captains, others will not. Leaders automatically step
up, but if they are not good leaders please let us know.
We want every single individual to have a good experience.
Is
there a discount for playing on additional teams?
Individual players may join an additional team on a
second day of their choosing; the fee for placement
on a second team is only $80 (please note that this
discount applies for the same session only). You can
choose to play on Sundays, Mondays, or Wednesdays.
How
do I find out what team I am on?
Your schedule will be emailed to you one business day
before your league start date. On the 2nd or 3rd page
of the schedule you will find individual team rosters.
If you do not get a schedule, check the website. If
you don’t see your name on any roster call and
email us immediately. Show up to the first game at least
10 minutes early. Restated: Once you pay, and have received
an email confirmation we do not call you. You have two
ways to find your schedule (by email hopefully we sent
you, or check the website). If you did not receive a
copy of the schedule email us and request one.
Can
we win awards if we go 12-0?
If an individual team can go 12-0 that is an award all
it’s own. Yes Indi teams qualify to receive free
t-shirts if they go 12-0.
Can
Individual teams make it to the playoffs?
Yes, see Playoffs for more information.
How
can I rejoin?
On your 2nd to last week (10th week), all individual
players will be asked if they are rejoining prior to
the start of the game, a RecBasketball.com staff (probably
the ref) will be at your gym collecting money. Players
should pay re-registration fees at that time. If you
paid previously by credit car and wish to do so again,
email the us and will charge your credit card, or just
go on line and pay, or fill out credit card authorization
form at the game.
Restated: Individual players re-sign up is the 2nd to
last week of the session. You still can sign up on your
last game but you loose your seniority and may not get
on the same team.
