NOTE: The league is beginning to take DMGs into consideration in the standings.
* Indicates teams whose points reflect DMGs being added or removed. To avoid possible cancellations due to weather, acts of God, etc., a DMG (Designated Makeup Game) system has been put in place. All teams will have 4 pre-designated games, -1) interregional, 2) inter-league. At the conclusion of the third and fourth DMG, the least favorable results will be thrown out, or put in place of a cancelled game. The format will only apply if a game has been cancelled. |
