Competitive teams are usually determined around the middle to end of March. If there are enough players registered, there will be a tryout process starting around the middle of March. Players that do not make the Competitive AA team are encouraged to play for a Community A team.
Depending on weather and indoor facility availability the season starts with 2 - 3 practices per week around the start to middle of April. The Competitive AA league utilizes a 3 round seeding / tiering format with teams playing in a Regional format in May, North / South Divisional format in June and a Provincial Tiering format in July. Each round of seeding / tiering historically involves 2 weekends per month (May, June and July) with teams playing 2 - 4 games per weekend.
Practices and exhibition games take place during the week, with practices historically taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Teams may also decide to enter tournaments or play exhibition games on weekends that are not scheduled seeding / tiering weekends, but this is determined by each team and diamond availability.
