1  Player Eligibility and Call-Up:

1. Only registered WGSA players may play.

2. Any players playing Rep ball (or carded as a Rep player) during the current season are ineligible to play in the WGSA.

3. Call-ups may only come from the division immediately below and must be played.

4. All player call-ups must be approved by the convenor. The coach is responsible for notifying the convenor of their need for call-ups at the earliest opportunity. A player may only be called up if her regular team is not playing.

5. To avoid a default, if one team has sufficient players and additional call-ups, that coach will designate call-ups that are to be transferred to the opposing team. This is the essence of good sportsmanship. Any abuse of the call-up rule as deemed by the Convenor may result in forfeiture or the game may be replayed with board approval.

6. Call-ups must use their regular team jersey from their own division.

2  Line-Up:

1. All present players must be listed in the batting order; late arrivals go to the bottom of the batting order, provided they are joining the team prior to the first batter starting her second at bat.

2. Call-ups must be placed at the bottom of the batting order.

3. If a player is sick or injured and cannot play a defensive or offensive position, she must be removed from the game but is not considered an "out". The player may re-enter provided they do so before a complete inning has passed. (i.e., if the player is injured in the middle of the 3rd inning she must return before the beginning of the 5th inning or she will not be eligible to play).

4. Coaches will use a standard line up form. A sample line up form will be provided at the beginning of the season and will be made available on the website. As requested by the convenor, this form must be available for review at any game.

5. Coaches will keep line-up sheets for every game, including any revisions, to verify compliance with any Fair Play rules. If either of the Fair Play rules are abused, it shall be brought to the attention of the Division Convenor for further action.

6. Fair Play Rule 1 – During the course of each game no player will sit a second inning until every player has sat at least one inning (and no player shall sit a third inning until all players have sat a second inning, etc.). Where it may be necessary for a player to sit more than 2 innings per game, due to the size of the team, the coach will distribute such requirements equally among players from game to game. For detail on Fair Play Rule 2, please see division specific rules.

7. Failure of a coach to comply with fair play rules may result in forfeiture of the game and/or suspension of the coach as determined by the Protest Committee. In the event of a breach of the fair-play rules during a game, time will be called and an opportunity to rectify the breach will be permitted, at that time. In the event that a resolution is not reached, the game is to be continued with the coach who initiated the complaint having the option to protest to the convener.
