13. What color t-shirts will my team get?
1. How many teams are in the league?
DCKickball is split into multiple Divisions. Each Division has anywhere from 8 to 16 teams.
2. How many players on a team?
Teams usually range anywhere from 22 to 30 players.
3. Why so many players on a team?
There are 11 players in the field on defense, so 18 is a realistic bare minimum, since not every player will there week to week. Most leagues field 20+ roster teams, which really does end up working out well.
4. How much does it cost? What do I get?
The registration fee is around $55 per person (it can vary from Division to Division depending on field costs). What you get: a t-shirt, at least 8 regular season games, post-season play, happy hour specials after your games, and at least 3 parties during the season. There’s usually at least one flip cup tournament or extra holiday party thrown in there for good measure. :-)
5. Can I sign-up without a team?
Yes! Simply sign-up as an “independent”, pay the registration fee, and you will be placed on a team as the season start gets closer. It’s a great way to meet people and make new friends!
6. How do I go about starting up a team?
When signing-up, select “create group”. You will be asked to name your group. Don’t worry about the name, you can always change it later. You will initially be listed as a Captain (this can be changed later). When your friends sign-up, they will select “join group/team” and choose the group you’ve created. Groups are promoted to official teams once 16 players have signed-up and paid. Team slots are limited and are awarded in the order that groups get players signed-up and paid.
7. Some friends and I want to play together, but won’t be starting a full team. Can we do this?
Yes! Go ahead and create a group, and name it anything you like. Have your friends join that group. Don’t worry about being promoted to official team status. Your group will be merged into a team towards the close of registration.
8. Why do you need my email address?
We collect email addresses so that your captain, your teammates and the league can contact you. Pretty much all information about DCKickball is diseminated via email and web. If at any point you choose not to recieve email from DCKickball, you can opt-out by editing your profile.
9. What are the methods of payment?
There are two primary methods of payment: PayPal and a paper check. Using PayPal, you can use either your PayPal account, a credit card, or even an e-check. Paper checks simply be placed in the mail.
10. If I start a team, how can I make sure only my friends sign-up?
The captain of a team has the ability to “approve” or “deny” any player that registers for the team. Go ahead and approve players once they sign-up. If there is a player that you don’t know and don’t understand how they might have joined your team, please contact them. If you decide to, you can choose to deny them placement on your team. This will not delete their registration, instead simply placing them back in the pool of “independent” players. *Please bear in mind that the league will ultimately place independent players and smaller groups onto your team in order to round-out rosters to roughly 25 or so players.
11. How come I never recieved the confirmation email? Is this a problem?
Two reasons: 1) you entered an invalid or incorrect email address or 2) the email has been placed in your junk or spam folder. You must recieve this email so that you can click on the confirmation link. The link is required to activate your account. You will not be able to log-in and pay without activating your account.
12. How come when I click on the link in the confirmation email, I get an error?
The confirmation link is long, and sometimes gets cut-off by your email program. Please try cut-and-pasting the link, line by line, into the location field of your browser and then hit enter. You also must click on this link with-in a limited period of time in order for the verification process to succeed (this is for security purposes). If your link has “expired”, please contact the league.
13. What color t-shirts will my team get?
Once a set of teams has been settled on for the season, and email will go out to the captains of each team asking them their choices for their t-shirt color. Generally, returning teams will be given preference in their choice of t-shirt colors.
14. What happens if my team signs up and your rules include things that we don’t agree with – can we get a refund?
Once payments are collected, there are no refunds. Please use this website and myself to familiarize yourself with how DCKickball is run. All questions and feedback will turn around and be incorporated into this FAQ.
