Didn't say March 1 was fake. Teams register by March 1; then there's follow up on things like roster submission, coach registration, scheduling, alignment... along with all the other leagues and activities organize. Then there are the meetings with teams and final tweaking of the league and the competition committee. I'd say HoCo does a remarkable job given the size and scope of what they do. I don't see any other county doing anything close in size or scope.

Do you pay your utility or tax bills far in advance of when they are due? Chill dude. Reserve your Saturdays for lax and you can dial it in later.
