Registered teams may choose when they want to have their home matches. League play will start either the 2nd or 3rd week of September. Players must abide by the ESR (Early Start Ratings) which can be found on the ATA website, AlabamaTA.com - if a player's NTRP rating has not changed, they will not be on the ESR list!
