Q:
What happens if
games need to be rescheduled? A: ZogSports NJ promises to provide a full season of games for every league we run. However, we do reserve the right to reschedule games to alternative locations on different days or possibly extend the season to accommodate these games. Although it is extremely rare, occasionally we do have issues with our permits (e.g., conflicts or unplayable fields). In these cases, ZogSports NJ will communicate to the team captains all postponements and rescheduling as soon as possible. Q:
How do I register? A: Visit our website www.zogsportsnj.org and click on Registration.
Q:
Can I register if I don’t have a team? A:
YES! We want everyone to be able to play.
You can register for all our leagues as an individual and we will
place you on a team with other individuals and small groups.
This is a great way to meet new people, and many of the teams we
put together come back as full teams the next season. Q:
Will I be able to play on a
team with my friends? Q:
What if I can’t make every game?
Can I still play? A:
ZogSports NJ doesn’t have an attendance policy, but we do
encourage you to make as many games as you can. We generally tell
people not to sign-up if they know that they will miss ½ of the games.
If you anticipate less, you should be OK. We create rosters with
enough players so that if a few people miss each game, the team should
still have enough players. Q:
I signed up as an individual.
How do I know who is on my team? A:
We wait until we sell out all our individual slots before we create
rosters. This enables us to
work our magic and try and put together the best teams using our secret
formula. You will receive an
email with your roster and teammates’ contact info a couple weeks prior
to the start of the season. Q:
How do you form the Individual Teams? A: OK, it’s not so secret. First we group all the people who requested to play together (i.e., you and your friends or fellow alums). Next we try to place individuals who requested the same division (Players, Casual, and Extremely Casual) together and get an appropriate gender mix on each team. Finally, we work our ZogSports magic that has resulted in multiple engagements already to make it all happen. While we try to accommodate all individual player requests for Division, we can’t guarantee all requests. We will not place a player more than 1 division (above or below) their original request. Q:
Do I have to pay when I register? Your
registration is not complete until we receive payment of the league fee.
We fill our leagues on a first paid basis so we recommend paying
when you register so you don’t lose your spot. Q:
I’d still like to pay by
check, is that OK? A:
No problem. We’re
happy to take checks as well. Please
make the checks payable to ZogSports New Jersey and send to ZogSports New
Jersey, 57 West 38th Street, 12th Floor,
New York,
NY 10018.
Please note that we cannot hold your roster spot until we receive
your check. Q:
How should I register if I have a group that wants to play together, but
we do not have enough
for a full team? A:
Depending on the size of your group you have two options:
Q:
I have registered and paid.
Now what? A: The dates of the first scrimmage / game are available on the "Sports Leagues" page
of our website. You can
expect to receive more information via email 2-3 weeks before your teams
scrimmage. Q:
The league I want to play in
is sold out. Is there a
waitlist? A:
Yes, there are always people
who for one reason or another are unable to finish the season, and we will
pull people off the waitlist to fill their spots.
To be placed on the waitlist complete the registration form and
type in “waitlist” in the comments section.
We will contact you if a spot opens up. Q:
What is your refund policy?
Q:
Can I register my team if we
do not have a complete roster? A:
Yes. Complete the registration and payment process to assure that
your team will have a spot in our league.
We will give captains an opportunity to make changes to their
roster about a week or two before the season begins.
At that time please let us know your complete roster. Q:
Does the team captain have to
pay the full league fee? A:
Your team registration is not complete until we receive payment of
the league fee. In order to receive
the team discount, we must receive payment from 1 source. We
fill our leagues on a first paid basis so we recommend paying when you
register so you don’t lose your spot. Q:
What Division should we play in? A:
While we ask you to do your best to assess the skill level and
level of competitiveness of your team before you register, we have
scrimmages at the beginning of the season to help determine where you’ll
have the most fun. While we
try to accommodate all team requests for Division, we cannot guarantee
them all. We do promise not to place your team more than 1 division
(above or below) your original request. Q:
How do I make changes /
additions to my team roster? A: We will give captains an opportunity to make changes to their roster about a week or two before the season begins. At that time please let us know any changes or additions. After the season starts, you can email changes to us at registration@zogsportsnj.org
Q:
Can I request specific times,
days or locations? A:
For obvious reasons field and
gym space is tough to get in Q:
Do we have to go to the bar after games? A:
ZogSports NJ cannot force you to drink, but we can strongly
encourage it. C’mon isn’t
this one of the reasons you joined our leagues anyway? Q:
Why should we go to the Official ZogSports Happy Hour bar after our
games? A:
