Section 11 – Part-Time Players and Excessive Heat

Part-Time Players

No player will be allowed to register as a part-time player without the Division Rep’s approval.

A player who is unable to play full-time due to work or other commitments, must call the appropriate Division Rep to determine if any other player has requested to play part-time.

The Division Rep will determine if two part-time players have comparable ratings.

Once a Division Rep determines that two part-time players are a reasonable match, the players must register as part-time players, with the name of the complementary player included on their registration.

If the playing status of either of the paired part-time players changes for any reason, the Division Rep will notify the remaining part-time player that he will be unable to play unless a suitable complementary player is found before the pre-draft meeting.

It is not the Division Rep’s responsibility to find a complementary part-time player.

Excessive Heat Playing Decisions

If the temperature is predicted to be 95 degrees or hotter, with a heat index of 100 degrees or higher, the Division Rep can cancel games in their division, beforehand.

If all participants are at the playing venue, games can be changed to five (5) inning games, or cancelled, after discussion between the Division Rep and the assigned umpires or head umpire.

Player safety should always be the primary decision-making factor.
