IF A TEAM HAS A PLAYER TEST POSITIVE
They should contact us ([email protected]) immediately with basic details.
– The team will be removed from the schedule for 2 weeks (the team will be credited for the lost games). Another team will be found to sub in the missed games. If we cannot find a sub, the opposing teams will receive credit for the lost games.
– We will contact the captain of a team that may have come into contact with an infected player. That team may be asked to sit out games until players get tested and come back negative. Any missed games due to COVID-19 as a team will be credited.
