I have just moved to the area. How do I get on a team?
For each sport we maintain a “free agents” list of
individuals wishing to get on a team. You can call the Adult
Athletic office at 770 528-8817 to leave your name, phone
number, sport and position you are interested in, and level
of play. Occasionally, this free agent list of individuals
wishing to play is requested by managers who find that they
have insufficient numbers to make up a team. We do not
put individuals in direct contact with managers.
Submitting your name does not guarantee that a team will contact
you.
17)
Is there any other way to try to get on a team? For
softball, kickball and football go out to
the park where the adult leagues are scheduled and talk to
the teams/players. Take your equipment in case they need you
immediately.
For
basketball , go to the gym where games are
being played to see if there is a chance to be added to a
team. Basketball games are played from November-February
and from June to July at Fullers Recreation Center located
at 3499 Robinson Rd , Marietta and Ward Recreation Center
located at 4845 Dallas Highway , Powder Springs.

Can I get in touch with the manager of a team to see if he/she
is planning to forfeit a game with me? NO . That
manager might tell you that he/she is not planning to play.
That team could then show up and win by forfeit. Managers
should call in a forfeit to their League Coordinator. Depending
on timing, we will then do everything we can to let the other
team know that there has been an official forfeit.

How do I know if my game is rained out?
You
are asked to call the Rainout Hotline after 3pm on game days.

If
my game is rained out, where can I find make-up information?
If
possible, we will include that information on the rainout
message for your park. We will post make-up information on
our website and at your playing location. In order to minimize
verbal errors, we prefer not to give out schedule information
or make-up information over the phone.
27)
How do I find make-up information on your web site?
Make-up
dates for rained-out games will be added to the league schedules
throughout the season as needed.
28)
At the end of the season how is the winner determined if my
team is tied with another team for first place? The
following procedures will be used to determine the first-place
finisher at the end of each half or to break ties for other
places.
TWO-WAY
TIE: If two teams are tied with identical records,
the winner is the team that won the game when the two teams
played in that half. If the teams split their games for that
half, the team with the highest average run differential for
that half will be declared the winner. If the teams remain
tied after determining run differential, the team allowing
the fewest runs will be declared the winner.
THREE-WAY
OR MORE TIE: If three teams or more are tied, the
winner will be determined by the most positive run differential
average per game for that half, unless one team has defeated
all the others during the half.
If
two of the teams still have the same average runs per game
differential for that half, the winner will be the team that
won the game played between the two teams during that half.
If the teams split their games during that half, the team
that gave up the fewest runs will win.
If
the same team wins both halves of league play, the team with
the next-best overall record will be awarded second place.
A team moving from a lower classification at the half will
not be eligible for the best overall record in the higher
classification.
Forfeit
games will be added into the run differential calculation
as a 7-0 score, except when a disadvantage would occur to
a winning team or an advantage would occur to a losing team.
29)
If my team wins my league, when and where will awards
be available? First place and second place teams
will receive their awards after the playoff game or their
last game of the season.
