Captains -
Thanks so much for taking time out of your evening schedule to join our call last night. We had a great turnout with almost all churches on the call. For those that missed the call, here is a recap of what we discussed. Note: these are not all the rules but just highlights we discussed on the call. For a complete list of rules and other league information, please visit out site: www.iisl.org. I know some teams had other people representing their church on the call so if necessary, please forward this to them as I did not include them on the distribution list. Thanks.
