League Entry Priorities

The league office, due to a lack of sufficient night lighted fields, may have to deny entry to teams desiring to participate in the San Francisco Municipal Adult Softball League.

The following priorities will be applied when determining entry into the league:
. Percentage of residents (not the number of residents on the original roster). Example: 15 players on a roster and 15 are residents: the team has 100% residency. 18 players on a roster and 15 are residents: the team has 83.3% residency
. Returning team vs. New team. (to be classified as a returning team, a roster must include names of at least 10 players from a former roster that participated in either the spring or summer season of the year past)
. New teams composed of new and returning players (regardless of previous team played for during spring or summer of the year past)
. New teams composed of all new members
