Playing Time Tips

One way to monitorand keep track of each player’s number of times they sit out:

14 players each player must sit out at least 5 times.

13 players each player must sit out at least 5 times.

12 players each player must sit out at least 5 times.

11 players each player must sit out at least 4 times.

10 players each player must sit out at least 4 times.

9 players each player must sit out at least 3 times.

8 players each player must sit out at least 3 times.

7 players each player must sit out at least 2 times.

6 players each player must sit out at least 1 time.

If you keep track and find an opposing coach abusing this rule of the player grids you may report it to your athletic director who will report it to the league president. The penalty for abusing this rule will result in a one game suspension for the first offence and the second offence will be a suspension and a $50.00 fine.
