The Men’s League and Invitational Tournament commenced on March 07, 2010 and ended on July 25, 2010. It was played every Sunday beginning at 12:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. with three matches scheduled each Sunday.
The League was interrupted on June 20, 2010 and no matches were scheduled on that day due to the 2010 Marianas Cup. The majority of the matches were played at the Susupe Ada Sports Complex Field. The league had eight teams with a little over two hundred players participating.
After the 6th annual EAFF competition ended our U15 team represented the NMI with brave hearts competing with kids at age 15 already even though most of the NMI players were only 13 years of age. They had a two day competition first being put up against the Chinese Taipei during the first day and then being pegged up against team DPR Korea.
