It will be a round-robin, meaning each team can play multiple games before being eliminated. To make it even more fun, you don\u2019t have to play to take part in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like millions of March Madness fans do each year, spectators can fill out a bracket with who they think will win each round. Points are then awarded based on how many winners are guessed correctly and how many of the top eight teams are guessed correctly. Those brackets can then be turned in for prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For every team that signs up, the league will get their pictures, age, and a quote from them. That all goes to their Instagram and Facebook, and that&#8217;s how people can find out who\u2019s playing before filling out their brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis was the perfect opportunity to reach a new audience, to follow our same morals, which is bringing communities together through sports,\u201d said fellow co-founder Joe Aiello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will also be raffles, Christmas-themed prizes under a tree and stocking-stuffers from sponsors. Under the tree, the top three teams will have special gifts. The first-place team will get trophies, shirts and a cash prize. Second and third place will get medals, shirts and some additional little gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and there will be an ugly sweater contest&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;a classic holiday staple. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve even heard some players are going to wear them during the tournament,\u201d Mr. Aiello said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sign up, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/aldrichsportsleague.com\">aldrichsportsleague.com<\/a> or contact Mr. Aiello at 631-905-9595. The deadline is Dec. 8 and costs $100 per team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\/files\/flyer.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-130125\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The two lifelong friends, Mr. Aiello and Mr. Buonaiuto, both from Mattituck, established the Aldrich Sports League in 2023 after recognizing that they wanted to create an organized, competitive, and welcoming place for athletes to learn, grow, and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The league has continued to grow each year with the support of the community.
