philosophy, ignoring arena rules, etc. Each
circumstance will be reviewed by league officials.

to play, regardless of personality conflicts, gender, race,
religion, etc. Should a player be asked to leave by

of refusal, and moving on up within the league until a place
has been secured. Should no team be
