✨ Spirit of the Game

This is a fun-first league. Be competitive, but respectful. Trash talk is fine if it's friendly and mutual. No egos, no fights — just good times and close calls.

Questions or edge cases? Captains can agree on a ruling before the game, but once play starts, the umpire has final say.
