Individuals and Small Groups
What is a free agent?
A free agent is simply an individual who joins the league without a team. We form a team for you and place you on it. You are guaranteed a spot on the team and in the league, you just have to reserve your spot with payment to be placed.
Can I get my friend on a team?
Absolutely! If you have already signed up, have your friend register as a free agent and request to be placed with you. There is a place during registration to request a friend. Missed it? E-mail the Comeback team and we will make sure to place you together.
We have a small group, should we form a team?
That depends on how many players you have! If you have 3-5 players for most leagues, it's cheaper to register as individuals and request to play together. You can be placed onto the same team if you sign up as individuals, the more time before a league starts the easier that is. If you feel you can rally a team, let the Comeback Team know your situation and we can monitor the team's progress as the league approaches. Unsure, just ask us, we have the experience to gauge where the team is at and make a suggestion!
When do I pay?
Once you register and make your payment, your spot is reserved and we will place you on a team. You are not reserved on a team until your payment is made in full. Payment is due at the time of registration for individuals. Teams can fill quickly and your unpaid spot could be taken by a paid player.
You can pay online, over the phone, or stop by our office with cash or check.
When do I find out what team I am on?
You will receive an e-mail notification when you are placed on the team. We send out team rosters with contact information, schedules, location information and other important details about 1-2 weeks prior to the start date. You can also communicate on the message board for your team once you are placed.
Are spots guaranteed?
We form your team for you; you just sign up and we do the team placement! The Comeback Team prides itself in putting together awesome teams formed with individual signups. We consider your desired skill level and the coed nature of our leagues to put together sweet teams! In the rare case the house team is full, we can typically find a team looking for a player. Due to the large influx of Free Agent signups we can put together full Free Agent Teams! If we cannot find a team or you signed up close to the start date, we can refund or transfer your paid amount to any season.
I don't see enough players on my team. Can we still play?
We form free agent teams for all 10 of our sports! Often times multiple teams per league! If you see missing players, please know we are forming the team behind the scenes. We often work with players in our league and outside of it, which may not show on the roster until one week prior to the start date.
Do I get a shirt?
Of course! Enter your shirt size when you register and your team shirt is provided at your first game!
What if I have to cancel?
Any individual that cancels their participation in a Comeback league (upcoming or in progress) once the payment deadline hits (clearly listed on our website) will not be refunded their individual fee. The individual may have their registration applied to a future league at our discretion, but no refund will be given.
How to join as a team
Team Roster
Online rosters are required. You need your player's first name, last name and e-mail address to invite them to join the roster. Collect the needed information and you will be prompted when registering the team to fill one out. If you did not complete the roster during registration, just log back into your account with your username and password. Click on your team name, and then select the "+ Add Player" button. Enter everyone's name and email address; they then receive an invitation to join the team. Players and captain will need to accept the Waiver, Terms and Conditions and our Code of Conduct/Sportsmanship Agreement online and at the field. Note: Rosters are important for managing your team and your team's payments. They allow your players to input their shirt sizes, accept waivers, receive game day reminders and allows you and us to contact the team for any last-minute changes on rainouts, scheduling, etc.
Team Fee and Deposit
Team payments can be handled two ways, you pay in full or you split the team fee among your players. As team captain, you may either make the $50.00 deposit or pay your portion after splitting the team fee, which will temporarily hold your team's spot in the league. The $50.00 deposit counts towards the team fee. Your team must be paid in full to enter the schedule. We have clear due dates for the team fee and keep you posted of those regularly. Full payment is due 14 business days ahead of time to get on the schedule.
Individual Invoices
You can choose to split the invoices among your team and they have until the due date to pay their invoices online, which is usually 14 days prior. We have a $50.00 late fee the day after the payment deadline and your team could miss game one, which will not be made up. This is to ensure our schedule can be posted on time and in advance for all the teams to plan for. We will send reminders to your players as the deadline approaches about payment, with direct links to the online system. Note: When splitting the team fee among your players, do your best to add the correct number of players. The team fee will be split equally by the number of players selected for your team. If you are unsure how many players will confirm, we recommend splitting your team fee by less players than expected. This way you will easily cover the team fee. We can always partially refund players if you end up exceeding the team fee by having more players join the team than expected.
When are fees due?
Team fees are due 14 days prior to your first scheduled game. The due date is right on the registration for your sport and we'll send many reminders to the team and keep the team captain updated, too.
Ultimately, the team captain is responsible for any unpaid team balance.
Team Cancellation
Any team fees paid (partial or in full) once the payment deadline occurs (clearly listed on our website) will not be refunded. Scheduling starts once the payment deadline occurs, so we cannot schedule your team and then have a withdrawal. It hurts our scheduling, uses vast amounts of time and resources and hurts the league. Cancellation after payment deadline will not render a refund.
Team Cancellation: Prior to Deadline
A team that has registered may cancel their participation for a refund (minus a $50.00 cancellation fee) as long as they notify the Comeback Team prior to the payment deadline. If the team does not cancel prior to the payment deadline and scheduling has started, the team will not be refunded any partial or full payments.
Team Shirts
Comeback will provide team shirts for up to the roster limit. We do not provide shirts for certain sports, so check the details online.
We are a returning team in the league. Do we still get shirts?
Great Question! We provide team shirts for our social sports like softball, kickball, dodgeball, volleyball, golf and bar Olympics. To keep registration fees low Comeback does not provide team shirts for Soccer, Basketball, or Flag Football.
What is an easy way to save on the team fee?
Choose to put down your $50.00 team deposit and pay the rest with a single check or cash at the office to take off the processing fee online. You can choose to waive your shirts for some leagues to save an additional amount. Number of players also affects how much each person pays, so make sure you have enough to take the costs down. We also have Early Bird Discounts on every league and tournament, so sign up ahead of time and get paid by the deadline to save $50.00 off your team fee.
Forfeits
If a team does not give 48 business hours' notice, a $50.00 forfeit fee will be assessed and charged directly to the team captain's card on file. If the captain disputes the charges or we are unable to have the forfeit fee paid, we can remove season games. We are open Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You cannot call after hours on Friday evening and expect to waive the forfeit fee for a weekend game. Please call the office as soon as the team is aware of an issue with a potential forfeit. The more notice we have, the more likely we can work with your team to avoid the forfeit fee.
