League Records

The League Records section focuses on Past Season Prizewinners, Individual and Team Records of The Playersí League over its history.

Individual Prizes are awarded for performance during the regular season.  Individual and Team records are with respect to performance during a season or performance during a given match.  Match records can be accomplished during the season or in the play-offs.

We have defined the terminology on this page so that you may better appreciate the accomplishments of our league players.
