Fill-in Player Rules
A player can fill-in for another Subiaco Team but only to avoid a forfeit. A player can only fill-in if they are registered with Subiaco. But teams must comply with fill-in rules, or their game will be forfeited.
A player may fill-in for a team with less than 6 of their regular players eg it a team has 6 of their regulars they don’t need a fill-in. If a team has 5 of their regular players they can have 1 fill-in, if a team has 4 of their regular players they can have 2 fill-ins, if a team has 3 of their regular players they can have 3 fill-ins etc.
However, you must only fill-in for a higher grade (a player in U14 – div C can only fill-in for :- U14 – div B team or a U14 – div A team or U16 or U18). A player can only fill-in for a maximum of 4 games per team in the season before they are required to move up (see Hawks By-Laws 13.5).
NOTE – the number 1,2,3.. attached to the division is just for grouping purposes it is consider part of same division, meaning B1, B2, B3 is all division B.
Once you have arranged the fill-in player(s) you need to add the player(s) to your team line-up on the IPAD/tablet as a ‘Fill-In’ player prior to the game starting. Do not use the absent player’s name. Ensure the correct spelling of their name, date of birth and email address all match to the player’s registered Play Hq account or the game will be deemed a forfeit.
If the team requires fill-in players the team manager can post a message on the relevant What’s App group chat with all details; age group, division, date, time, venue, number of fill-in players required.
