League matches are played whenever, wherever. Each week, players click to select whatever days/times they might be available to play that week. For Winter League, players can either (1) play a match during specially scheduled League nights hosted by local clubs (no membership required, court fees may apply); (2) book their own “Home” court at a local club and get assigned a “Visiting” opponent; or (3) schedule an outdoor match at a local public court, weather permitting.

Players are matched up based on level (each player is slotted 1-10 on their team’s roster), availability (ideally, 1s play 1s, 2s play 2s, etc.), and intrigue (e.g., Grudge Matches!).

Scheduling is always flexible. Matches can be scheduled any day, any time, any place, so long as a suitable opponent is available to play. “Rotation” players who join a team roster should expect to play a League match at least 4x each season (about once every month). “Franchise” players should be available to play weekly matches, or around 12-16 matches per season. That said, there are never any commitments or guarantees: whatever matches we can get on the schedule, great; if someone can’t play, or the matchups just don’t work out, bummer.

Winter season runs from mid-November to mid-April. Depending on how scheduling goes, teams play a total of around 30 regular season matches. At that point, the top 6 teams in the League standings advance to play in the LOCOS Cup Championships: teams 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5 play in the first round; the highest seeded team to advance plays team 1 in the semifinals, the highest seeded team plays team 2.
