Dear members,
Please make note of the following reminder regarding junior players registration and fill-in rules:
Late Registrations:
- Clubs seeking to register a junior player after the fourth round of the season must notify the FDBA office.
- Un-notified registrations after round 4 will be followed up by the FDBA Match Committee to confirm and permit the additional player.
Fill-Ins Rules:
- Fill-in players may be used to bring the team up to a maximum of six players.
- Fill-ins cannot be used from the same division (e.g. an U12 Boys C1 player cannot fill-in for another U12 Boys C1 team).
- Fill-ins can only play in a higher graded team than their regular team in the same age group (e.g. an U10 Girls B Grade player may fill in for an U10 A grade team but not C or D grade teams)
- Rep (VJBL) players may only fill-in for another absent rep player in A or B grade competitions only (This includes using rep fill-ins from younger age groups).
Players participating in an ‘RL’ competitions under the VJBL umbrella are recognised as a representative players.
It is important to understand these rules, if a team uses an ineligible player that match will be recorded as 20-0 forfeit in favour of the opposing team.
If in doubt speak to the venue supervisor or FDBA office. Please be sure to read the policy in its entirety, linked below.
