The game will be stopped close to the midway point of each quarter to permit substitutions. Thus, the game is broken down into 40 playing positions per team, per game.
Team breakdown- (5 players on the court at one time, two different sets of (5) players per quarter, 4 quarters per game). Please refer to the league provided playing time chart for further clarification. Please note that a child can not be removed from normal playing rotation because of foul trouble.
1. We realize that there are exceptions and a team might have less than ten players. If that is the case the following playing rules apply.
3. Early Departing as well as late arriving players will participate proportionally for the time he/she is present. If the player will only be at half of the game, then the player may only participate for half of the time they are there.
4. In the event of a condition not listed above the coach will seek a ruling, prior to the game as to the appropriate playing time.
To avoid problems coaches must maintain a " play time" chart for each game showing when each child participated in each game. Upon request this chart should be shared with the opposing coach. These charts are available from CRBA and on our website.
Penalties for Non-Compliance:
Conditions and responsibility relating to play time in games rests solely with the team coach. In event that the CRBA determines that the playtime rule has not been followed, then the offending team will forfeit that game and additional actions may be taken. This forfeiture also applies to playoff and championship games.
In the sad event that repeated occurrences would occur with the same coach then that person could be removed as coach or expelled.
