German term or phrase: Daddel-Liga
Von der einfachen Daddel-Liga ohne Verpflichtungen...

I know "Daddeln" is a word often used in German gaming language, but not quite sure what it might be in English.

Thanks for your help!

Clarification request(s) and response
SpreeSarah: 8:05pm Apr 24, 2007: Not to be confused with amateur, that comes later in the sentence.
Nadine Kahn: 8:14pm Apr 24, 2007: daddeln oder zocken. To gamble ist ja eher um Geld spielen... einmal nur play?
Nadine Kahn: 8:18pm Apr 24, 2007: Typo.. sollte natürlich *einfach* heißen.

gaming for fun
Explanation:
Vielleicht auch "minor gaming league", da es auch die "major gaming league" gibt. Aber wo soll da der Unterschied zu Amateuren sein? *confuzzled*
