Teams may be subject to move from their league of choice at the discretion of the Recreation Supervisor if it is deemed for the benefit of the CARD softball program.  Prior history and records will be considered when it comes to league placement.  Spring league champions MAY be moved up to a higher league for the subsequent season if also deemed appropriate and teams who struggle in a given league may also be moved down. The goal here is to facilitate proper league placement over the course of time, while you may not consider yourself  a "B" or "C" level team, you may be one of the top teams playing on that evening and it may be necessary that you play in that league.
