Before guys start cocking off about their respective team and how they're gonna rock this joint; I want to post a friendly public service announcement. First and foremost we demand respect at all times... Respect of the staff, respect of each other, and respect of the rules. Each one of you not only represent yourself and your team, but it is something far greater than that. Make this a great environment for a group of 32 grown men to kick back and escape. We're all in this to have fun. Some will be more successful than others. Don't make this a place for you to beat your virtual chest and rub your opponent's nose in it. Gloating is for the birds. Take your props like a man and move on. A league is only as good as it's owners. Playing in a league with like minded individuals is so much more important than winning. Help each other to improve. Build relationships and work on strategies together. It will only make everyone else and the league better! Finally, remember... Regardless of team, record, age, or otherwise; you WILL lose in this league. There is so much parity here that every season will come down to the final weeks. Win with grace and lose with dignity. You can't (and won't) win them all! Thanks for reading and have fun!!!!
A great reminder for veteran players, just as these are wise words for the new blood joining the family. Always respect your opponent and the game, and don't forget to have fun
