I have an adventure leagues team i play with, that i happened to run into in a weekly board game night club that we meet once a week. Really cool, fun and enjoyable people.
I am curious to know what would be the most common and easy way to form a group. and how you made yours.

I did a search on the wizards website for local retailers in my area like two or three months ago. When I got there to check it out for the first time the guys running the store invited me to stay to join their league. I was issued a DCI number and they helped me make a character sheet. Been going back every week.
One of my local stores runs the AL, and has for quite some time. I've played a few campaigns there a few years back and really enjoyed the atmosphere. I've been with this group for 3 or 4 weeks now and enjoy it. I'm actually thinking about getting with another shop to run my own campaign.
Does AL have to be run at a store? My last experience was a very loud and busy store and I did not like it at all. I had a friend run a homebrew since December, but I recently had to move and find some more D&D companions. I like AL, but if it has to always be run at a store or a convention center then I will have to pass on it. Thanks for any response.

It sort of started out that way, but Wizards opened it up to home-play as well. It mostly doesn't matter either way. Unless you plan on taking your character on the road to multiple store locations or conventions, your home-play AL experience is basically indistinguishable from just a normal D&D game with your friends. The AL rules are basically just a way to keep characters within acceptable bounds so that some new guy doesn't show up to an AL table at a store or convention with a character rocking crazily unrealistic stats and several powerful magical items that would ruin the experience for the other players that the character "totally got from their local DM."
As for the basic thread question; I built the AL program for my local game store pretty much from the ground up. I went out of my way to get all the information and talk the store owner into setting aside time for it, wrangled players together, and grew the program out to about twelve regular attendees plus the occasional walk-ins. I mostly have to do the DMing for some of the more core players so I don't get a lot of time to just play. I've got a yearly gaming convention I go to to test out various characters I would have liked to play during the course of a given season.

For me my local game store runs a D&D Adventure League night with 4 different groups and I went one night and they joined me into one group.
