LAOUT is excited to be back with our Summer Draft League! Keeping up with past seasons, this year’s theme will be “80’s Music!” (Never let a good theme go to waste). Whether you’re moonwalking into the endzone like Michael Jackson, bringing the swagger and attitude of Madonna to your team chemistry, or rocking out with big plays inspired by Bon Jovi, we hope you spend the summer building your mixtape of wins and turning every game into a greatest hit!

Mixed League
- The format will be 6 v 6 with the ratio always as 3 FMP and 3 MMP on the field.
- The number of MMP and FMP will be the same in each team.
- MMP Registrants will be entered into a lottery to join the mixed league. There are 2 ways to bypass the lottery.
- Baggaging with an FMP
- MMP who had to play Men’s for the past two leagues (Winter and last year’s Summer League)
Men’s League
- The format will be 6 v 6.
- We will prioritize having enough players on each team over the number of teams. Enough players will be having ~ 12 players on each team (which equates to about 2 lines)
Full Rules and Regulations can be found here.
Baggage Policy
- Only two people can baggage together
- Any MMP Baggaged with an FMP will bypass the lottery
- Captains cannot baggage with another player unless this player is a new player
- Baggage is only for people with children or who are carpooling from the same neighborhood with the following exceptions and limitations:
- Short of living with one another, we strongly recommend avoiding a baggage that results in two round 1 players* being paired together
- You can always email the Commish to clarify if your baggage seems fair or to ask for an exception: board@laout.org. It is up to the discretion of the commissioner to make the determination.
*If you self rank yourself as a 7.5+ out of 10 in the LAOUT player landscape, you’re likely a round 1 player.
