1) Establish your home venue
2) Play with the same team name each week so your scores can be tracked
3) We will only count the top ten scores towards qualification for post-league play, so if you miss a week or two for some reason or wager all your points one week and lose them, you’ll be ok.
4) In August we will start a bonus program where you will get some league points for playing at venues other than your home venue during league play. More details on that next week.
