Schedule Changes, Cancellations, No-Shows
We are tightening the policies around no-shows and rescheduled games in order to improve the
experience for the teams in our league. Our goal is NOT to make money off of this!! Our goal IS
to ensure that the teams in the league have confidence that their opponents will show up for games!
Reschedule requests:
Requests will be honored when possible, but requests need to be kept to a minimum and only in emergency
situations because it affects all of the operations of the league including refs, EY staff, and other teams.
Requests will need to be submitted in writing by email to the League Director. Phone call requests will not
be honored. Schedules will be locked at 5pm on the Tuesday before the scheduled game, meaning that NO
schedule requests will be honored if they are submitted after that deadline.
First No-Call, No-Show: $125 (7v7, 9v9) or $150 (11v11) fine will be assessed to your team + removed from the EPL schedule until paid.
Second No-Call, No-Show: Removed from league for remainder of the season and no refund will be given.
