Because our leagues often sell out fast, we use a registration lottery for team spots to give everyone a fair shot at playing the sport they love.
How It Works
Registration opens approximately 4 weeks before the season starts.
Captains: Register and pay to enter the lottery. Once the lottery takes place, you’ll be notified by email if your team got a spot or is on the waitlist! You must respond to claim your spot within 48 hours or it will be forfeited to the next Captain in line. Once confirmed, you’ll receive a link to share with your Team Players so they can register.
Guaranteed Team Spots: If your team has a Winning SET Record at the time of the lottery draw, you’ve earned a guaranteed spot back in that same league! At least 4 players from that winning roster must return to claim it, and the Captain must register before the lottery draw to lock it in.
Team Players: Wait until your Captain notifies you that they’ve secured a spot, then register using the link they send you.
Free Agents (Individual Players): Register and pay on a first come, first served basis - no lottery required! Registration opens to Free Agents after the Captain lottery has taken place.
At least one team spot per league is always reserved for Free Agents. If enough players sign up to fill a team, you’ll be grouped together. If not enough Free Agents register by the Roster Deadline (2 weeks before your first game), those spots will be offered to the next Captain in line. Because of this, Free Agent placement cannot be guaranteed - we’ll email you before the Roster Deadline to let you know where things stand.
Captains - You’ll receive a notification email. Make sure Contact@ElevateSportsSD.com is in your contacts! You must respond within 48 HOURS or your spot will be forfeited to the next Captain in line. You’ll have until the Roster Deadline (2 weeks before the first game) to have all your teammates register and complete your roster.
Don’t lose hope! If a winning team fails to complete their roster by the deadline, they are moved to the waitlist and the next Captain in line will be notified.
One Entry Per Team Per League: If a Team Player intentionally registers as a Captain to improve their chances - THE TEAM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LEAGUE. Captains MUST list their players’ names at time of registration. Captains can register for multiple leagues.
