basis. - When
do I get my roster, when is it due and where do I take it?

file with the Sports office before your first game, you will forfeit your
games until one is turned in. - Is there a document stating
when all of the registration dates are and when seasons begin?

you, or you can visit the Sports office to pick one up.
