Teams/Players who enforce an APA OTM or SDAPA bylaws should not be harrassed by the other team.

Action could be taken against the team and/or player(s) if this occurs.

Once the first player has been posted in a team matchup, any roster changes can be denied by your opponent.

Your roster for the scheduled league night should be in place by the official start time of league.

Raising an issue (problem, skill level, other) needs to be submitted to the League Office via email ONLY.
