How to pick the right one

Match the name to the league. For a casual rec league, go punny and a little self-deprecating, because nobody takes Thursday night dodgeball seriously for long. For a tournament bracket, a clever name reads better when the organizer calls you to the court. For an office team, keep it clean enough for the company newsletter. And say it out loud before you register, because the good ones get a laugh the first time the ref reads them out.
