"Pick-up" League Format:
"Pick-up" leagues are a unique league format where everyone registers as an individual. We play small-sided 4v4 games, for a full hour. Each game lasts only 7 minutes and teams are reorganized every game. Over the course of the session, players will play with and against every other player. Players take their individual wins and losses with them, which creates individual league standings and an eventual league winner.
