3. Players will be placed on teams as fairly as possible considering age, position(s) played, ability/playing experience and multi-player registrations, as judged by the Convenor(s) in order to balance the teams. Players will be assigned to teams as soon as possible following the deadline for Registrations.

4. The age requirement to play is 18+. Exceptions are only made for invitational high school girls (U18) in order fill teams that need players. Please contact the Convener(s) for permission to play.

5. All players must wear a white/dark reversible or the colour that their team is set to wear that night based on the schedule (White = Home Team, Dark = Away Team). A # on the jersey is preferred for weekly scorekeeping and for officiating in the Finals.

6. Each team must volunteer a Team Captain who will be responsible for their team's attendance and act as the spokesperson to the Convenor. It is the player's responsibility to notify her captain if she cannot attend the next game. OR Please establish a team "group chat" to ensure your team is aware of everyone's availability.

7. The convener will contact the Team Captains if any short-notice changes occur. The captain will then be responsible to contact her team members. The Women's Hoop Loop website will also update any changes as they occur, as soon as possible.

11. Players from other teams are not permitted to fill the rosters in the event of a team avoiding a forfeit, unless otherwise deemed appropriate by the Convenor(s). Players from other teams are welcome, in case of a scrimmage, in order to still run a game.
