Website changes
We are making some changes to the website to make it easier to get team and division information.

5/20/2011 We have removed the individual division schedules and created one page that you can sort by the division you want, but the scores are not entered as of yet on the schedule, so you will need to go to the teams page to see the scores for the games already played.

6/1/2011 We have completed the changes to the website, all scores have been entered for all played games and the standings have been updated. We hope these changes give you better access to all of the season's information.
