Kings out, Steven Seagal In

Unfortunately, due to an inability to pay the league fee before Sunday, the Kings and aNY Team are not eligible for the playoffs. Steven Seagal will take over the playoff spot. We will implement a much more strict payment policy for future leagues to avoid this problem. Any player that is on a team that has not paid in full is not eligible  to play in future leagues until his previous team's balance is paid.

John Moody Named STAT League's First MVP

STAT League would like to extend our congratulations to John Moody of Old Spice as he was voted Most Valuable Player in the inaugural league. Over 6 games Moody averaged 28.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2.3 steals for the 2nd Place Old Spice. Also receiving votes were Lamiek Black of aNY Team, Joe Mujalli of the Knicks, and James Parese of the Mix.

League Fees Due in full next week in order to play

It has been getting a little bit ridiculous with the league fees. The fees were supposed to be due week 1. We officially CANNOT afford to play next week unless league fees are in. Your team will not be able to play starting next week if your team hasn't been fully paid before the game. A forfeit will be awarded. We have no other options. Pay your league fees!

LEAGUE FEES ARE OVERDUE

We officially will not be able to operate unless league fees are in. Pay your fees, they are long overdue. Nonpayment will result in disqualification of the teams involved with no refund. Honor your commitments.

League Conduct Rules

Just as in the NBA, STAT League will more strictly enforce its conduct policy in games. This will include excessive complaints in game to all officials including but not limited to referees and scorers. Complaining downgrades everybody's experience and participants should use good judgment to determine proper reactions.

Lateness Rules

The gym will be open at 7:30 AM with the first game to promptly begin at 8:00. For a team unable to field at least 4 players, we will be enforcing a 5-point penalty for every 5 minutes until 15 minutes. At 15 minutes in which the game is forfeited and the team unable to field the players is given a 30 point loss. We cannnot have a repeat of last week as we need to be out of the gym by noon. Note the rule goes for all games, not just the 8:00. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
