New this offseason the JAL is allowing teams to play official pre-season or "exhibition" games.
Over the last few weeks multiple teams have inquired about playing pre-season games to better prepare themselves for the JAL 17 season. To schedule one (or more) pre-season games, contact the league.
Pre-season games will obviously not count toward JAL 17, however, they will likely be treated like real games in the sense that they may be filmed, have stats taken, require jerseys, etc.
