League Players will check in on or before Thursdays 5PM with your Sunday Time availability:

-Matches will then be scheduled for the upcoming Sunday

-Match times will be posted on Thursdays as well so you will not have to be here all day.

Standings tracked in Discord and Website

Top player becomes the VIPC Gym Leader for the following month
