About
Policies and safety
The handbook is the league's rulebook, and the board can change it at any time to protect the league. This page is the short way in: what each policy covers, and where to read it in full.
Report an incident
Injuries, game protests, rule or roster violations, conduct, referee feedback. Every report is reviewed by the league.
In an emergency, call 911 first. Any event that sets off the emergency action plan also needs a report.
