• School: Without an assignment made from the preceding criteria, players will be assigned based on the school they attend when available.

• Team Size: Teams will be limited to size based on the leagues maximum player limit, if player's requests force a team over the league limit, removal of players from the team will happen in reverse order of above criteria until the maximum limit is met.
