League play consists of many mini-tournaments per season where teams get exposure to many other teams at one site. Each team's season schedule consists of about eight games over a time span of five weekends in the spring. Teams are seeded for the conference tournament by their regional ranking. The top two teams from each region compete for the conference title while the remaining teams participate in the consolation bracket.
Spectators and fans are encouraged and welcome for all matches with free admittance. More information on the GLLL Conference Tournament can be found at UW-L Recreations Sports website.
Join the excitement!
