**Match Scheduling

• You are guaranteed 2 matches per week (2 matches will be completed within a 1 hour time-frame). Each team will know the day and the opponent that they will play prior to the start of the season. The exact time slot and location will be given 1 week prior to the actual match. The time slot and location will be communicated with the team captain. 

• Each team designates a team captain that is responsible for communicating with teammates about matches and picks who plays for their team each match.

• The team captain will let CLT PBPL know of their team's availability prior to the start of the season. For instance, "we want to play every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:00 PM, and we are open to x, y, and z locations. We also are flexible for other days but prefer every Tuesday." CLT PBPL will then set a fixed schedule based on those reponses.

• CLT PBPL will let the captains know when the fixed schedule has been set. The schedule will be viewable on the website. 

• The playoffs will have set days and times for each matchup
