Rule 12 – Ineligible Players and Call-Ups

12.1 – In the event a team plays an ineligible player or players, the game shall automatically be awarded to their opponents by a score of 5-0.

12. 2 – A player, registered with Paris Soccer Club, may be called up to the Division above his/her own to play only.  Players can NOT be called across in the same division to play for another team in his/her same division, this includes in tournaments.  Players can NOT be called “down” to a lower aged division to play on a team under any circumstances.  Call up players can only be used from the own club’s current year registration list and can not be a player from another centre in the Twin Rivers League.  Any non eligible call up player and coach who disobey the rules can be given suspensions and may need to attend a disciplinary meeting.

12.3 – Suspended players cannot be called up to another division to play while they are serving a suspension.

12.4 – No player can play with a club unless registered with that club; players can only register with one club within the Twin Rivers Soccer League.  Players are expected to register for the centre that they reside in; however, if there are no available registration spots than they are encouraged to register for neighbouring centres.

12.5 – A coach may call up as many players to bring his/her roster to no more than 12 players for U10 and 16 players in total for U12-U21 divisions.  The call up must be identified on the game sheet and in the appropriate area in the game book.  The regular player being replaced must be stroked off the game sheet.  If the regular player decides to show up after start time and has already been stroked off the game and replaced by a call up, they will not be allowed to play the game.

12.6 – As of June 30th, all teams will be finalized and clubs must close registrations to Twin Rivers League.

12.7 – Call up players need to wear a similar coloured soccer jersey with a number that is not being worn by another player on the team.  Coaches can use white/black tape to make numbers on the back of jerseys.

12.8 – Call up players priority is with their registered team, as such, if their team and a call up team have a game on the same day, the player is expected to play for their own team.  If the games are at different times than the player can have the option of playing both games.

12.9 – Call up players have the choice to accept or decline the opportunity to play a game for the higher division team.

12.10 – Coaches who wish to call up a player should consult with the players coach to ask if this player can be called up to play a game.  The player’s coach may decline the request if the player is under suspension, injured or is playing an important game and needs to rest for this game.
