Registration Information: Pre-Registration begins on Monday, Aug. 18 at 8 a.m. During Pre-Registration, captains can start their teams, and begin sending invitations to teammates to build the roster. Once official registration opens on Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 8 a.m., teams that meet the minimum player requirements (four eligible players on the team roster, five eligible players on the roster with at least two men and two women for Co-Rec) can select a division to complete registration. Teams must select their divisions before registration closes on Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 11:59 p.m. Selecting a division cannot be done until minimum player requirements have been met. Instructions on how to start a team, or how to join a team, can be found on our IMLeagues Registration Instructions page.
