My team needs a name? Feel free to be as creative or generic as possible when creating a team name. We ask that you please be respectful when deciding on a team name. PARD Athletics will not tolerate racist, sexist, or otherwise demeaning names for teams. We reserve the right to remove a name that we deem inappropriate.
What is the league format? There are 6 teams per league with each team playing 8 regular season games. All teams from each league will advance to the playoffs on most circumstances. The playoff format is a single elimination tournament with seeding based off regular season performance.
Is this league open roster for the whole season? No. Team rosters will lock after a team’s 5th regular season game (no adding players after a team roster is locked). A team manager may add players to their roster before their roster locks. You can add players on site at the gym or by sending an email to PARDAthletics@austintexas.gov. A player must play one regular season game to be eligible to participate in the playoffs. It is the team manager’s responsibility to ensure that all players are on the roster/waiver sheet and have also signed.
How do I fill out my team’s roster/waiver and where is it located? When you arrive to Austin Recreation Center, the scorekeeper will have each team's dedicated roster/waiver that must be completed. The team manager is responsible for ensuring that every player has completed their information and signed the roster waiver.
