Registration

Teams can register by emailing the London Winter League Committee (LWLC) on winterleague@londonultimate.com. The Committee will then add you to the team contacts yahoogroup which is used for most communication. Teams can enter as many or as few of the matchdays as they want. Any problems with seeding this causes will be resolved by the Committee and our decision is final.

Individual players looking to join a team may still be able to do so, either by posting a message to the LondonLeague mailing list, or by contacting teams directly. Joining a team mid-league is fine by us (we have no rostering rules): some teams may already be full and therefore not taking on extra players, but others are definitely on the look out for pickups. You can only ask.
