When rec basketball is played in the Philadelphia area

What makes rec basketball leagues hard to run
- Gym slots are late and fixed, so a team that shows up with four players forfeits.
- The organizer collects fees from every player and pays refs and the gym.
- Players want standings and scores the same night, not in next week's email.
- Corporate and office leagues swap players often and need an easy way to join.
