TL;DR Version:
Long Read:
It seems crazy to think we are already talking about Summer League 2015, but alas it is just around the corner. As we discussed at the recent Town Hall meeting, we are changing up our approach to summer this year. We are trying something new, that we hope will help provide a better experience for all of our players. This new approach was based on feedback from a bunch of players, and from discussion with other leagues across the country. If it works like we think it will, this will make for a great summer.
We are splitting MZU Summer League into two leagues. A league that competes for the Flaherty Cup, and MZU Summer League which will compete for a new trophy. The Flaherty Cup League will comprise of highly competitive teams featuring players that have been playing the sport for a long time. TheMZU Summer League will feature competitive teams that have been playing for awhile, and also new teams and players who are new to the sport.
To determine if we can go ahead with splitting the two leagues, we first have to determine if we have enough interest in a highly competitive league. To do this, we are asking for Captain’s of any team interested in playing in the Flaherty Cup League to email Hi@MileZeroUltimate.Com by March 23 indicating your team name and a preliminary roster.
We will then work with the teams who have registered to determine if Monday or Wednesday is the better night for this league to occur on. We will do this by March 30th.
Once we determine if we have enough teams to have a highly competitive league separate from our regular league we will open registration team registration (similar to registration for Team Winter League) March 31st to April 10th.
On April 17th, registration for MZU Summer League.
See you on the field,
MZU Board
