The 2nd ever Summer League is due to start this weekend and the teams have been announced.
Following the draft at the weekend, team managers have been working away behind the scenes making trades and swapping players trying to produce their perfect squads.
The Rotherham Ducks made the first major moves in free agency managing to acquire Steelers A team player James Hague. It will be interesting to see how Haguey gets on with the pressure of a big money move from Steelers Orange.
The most surprising move of the draft was the decision by South Leeds Rams manager Richard Parker, who decided to trade himself away from Leeds preferring to don the yellow and red Full Monty jersey.
Most teams were very active in the draft. In fact all but one team made changes to there roster. The only team who was happy with his team from the outset was Matt Williams who chose not to entertain any trades whatsoever. It will be interesting to see how this approach pays off in a couple of months time.
Here are the squads for the upcoming league :
The Summer League format has been slightly altered for the 2019/20 season
Games will be made up of 3 periods of 15minutes. All games will be running clock and in the event of a draw after 45 minutes a 5min 3v3 overtime will be played. Sudden death will then apply in overtime and if scores are still level then each team will have 3 penalty shots.
If scores are still level after overtime and 3 penalty shots then the penalty shootout will go into sudden death. (Sudden death penalty takers cannot be the players who took the original 3 penalties.)
Win 3 points and a loss 0 points. If teams are level on points then Goal Difference followed by head to head results will apply to determine final league placings.
South Leeds Rams 
Steelers White 
Rotherham Ducks 
Steelers Orange 
Steelers Blue 
Full Montys
At the end of the league season the top 4 teams will make the playoffs. 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd will play in semi finals followed by the final to determine the 2nd Summer League Winner.
The fixtures have already been scheduled and the countdown has begun to the first fixtures on July 14th
