- Weekly quiz: We post a quiz each week below the team assignments. Scroll past the roster table for quiz details.

- Game formats: The 9:00 game will be our usual 5v5 format, including goalkeepers. We will likely include both 5v5 and full-field 7v7 play in the 10:30 game slot, with lots of roster shuffling.
