A personal check will only be accepted from the team’s manager whose name appears on the registration. Checks should be made out to Ann Arbor Public Schools (AAPS). Special arrangements need to be made to pay by check, since the office is not open to the public.

RETURNED CHECK POLICY
If any check is returned NSF, the team in question will forfeit all of its games from the point of notification from Rec & Ed, until a cash payment is made for the amount of the check plus an additional $50 league re-entry fee.

OFFICIAL RESULT SHEETS
Result sheets should be emailed right after the game to ateamsports@aaps.k12.mi.us. The home team keeps the official score (the team listed first on the league schedule is designated as the home team). The winning team is required to submit the game result sheet to Rec & Ed by email immediately after the game. However, in the event your game ends in a tie, the HOME TEAM is responsible for submitting the result sheet. If the results are not submitted, the game in question will be recorded as a double forfeit.
