Bay Area Social and Sport Cartel

After playing in other leagues such as Golden Gate, Bass Cartel is by far a much better organized and more fun league as I have played in both Basketball and Softball Leagues for 3 years now.
The atomsphere is very relaxed with people going out there and just to have fun with the right amount of competitive spirt. Softball takes place in the Presidio and they have a great core group of players and a good mix of new teams. They have approximately 25 – 35 softball teams playing during the season.
The coed basketball is great and a lot more social than the past men’s leagues I have played. Everyone is about high school ability
Overall I recommend the club of its professional service and fun attitude!

I joined Bass Cartel because I wanted to play COED, but I was pretty annoyed with how it all went down.
The play was great, but I had a really difficult time with the refs and how things were dealt with. Derrick is great and really tries to make everything work well, but my experience was pretty frustrating.
The last game of the season before playoffs, two team members walked in 3 minutes before starting time, according to two several different cell phone clocks (our games were ALWAYS starting late). When I arrived, the ref had already forced our team to forfeit, the clock had been running for 7 minutes already, and he refused to ref our game. This made us ineligible for the playoffs and our season ended on a scrimmage that wasn’t even reffed.
When I confronted the ref before the game to ask him why he made us forfeit, he started screaming at me and called me a liar. Big he said she said mess that was just really frustrating.
I contacted Derrick and didn’t receive any response after several attempts at some kind of resolution, so I requested that my team be given the equivalent of that games’ worth of our fee back, because the ref didn’t officiate and we didn’t get to participate as agreed, or that we receive an apology from the ref.
I didn’t receive any response for quite some time, and eventually was told that they have to stand by the refs, and they couldn’t give us a refund because they had already paid the ref fees (for the ref that didn’t officiate?). They offered a $ 14 credit toward the next season for the five players who were there, but all of us were so annoyed by the ordeal that we chose not to use this league again.
None of the leagues are great by any means, but you think they’d at least try to make an effort to make it fair and to maintain current players.
Oh well. My money goes elsewhere now.
