Definitions:
Shorthanded: A shorthanded team is a team assessed by their captain(s) to be insufficiently staffed for a safe, quality game to be played.
Strict Minimum: 4 men and 2 women in attendance, able and ready to play at game start. Syn.: “Savage.”
Understaffed: A team with less than the strict minimum number of players.
Forfeit: If a team forfeits, it is recorded as a W-F win for their opponent. A forfeit is worth the same as a loss in the standings: +/- 0. If both teams forfeit, it is recorded as a F-F. In a standings tie, the team with the fewest forfeits on its record is awarded the higher position.
Rules:
- If a team is shorthanded, but have the strict minimum, they may choose to play shorthanded or even savage. Alternatively, the team may also choose to invite one or more pick-up players as needed to remedy the situation. The GMDA Board strongly encourages teams to invite pick-ups to avoid injuries due to playing savage, but the decision is at the discretion of the team.
- No team may negotiate picking up players without forfeiting. If a team chooses to and is successful at recruiting pick-up players, they must forfeit the game i.e. take a loss regardless of any of the following:
- The pick-up player(s) don’t play the whole game;
- Rostered player(s) subsequently show up;
- The game is a regular, playoff or consolation game;
- The pick-up player(s) are of equal or lesser skill/experience/athleticism than the missing player(s).
- If a team has less than the strict minimum, they are required to make an attempt to recruit pick-up players so a friendly game can be played at least.
- No team may object to another team picking up players.
- All pick-up players without exception must be players from other teams within winter league with signed waivers and valid/paid registrations. This excludes waitlisted registrants. Important note to captains: If you need to permanently replace a player due to injury or attrition, please contact the GMDA Board without delay so a waitlisted registrant can be assigned to your team.
- When picking up players, a team MUST inform the opposing captain. Failure to do so could result in a standings penalty.
In addition to accepting the GMDA waiver on the online registration form, all players must sign a Fieldhouse waiver before playing. Team captains are responsible for collecting signed waivers from all their team members.
A player with any unsettled debt is not eligible to play.
If you withdraw from League, you are not guaranteed a refund. Refunds are processed on a case by case basis. Please email your request to the GMDA Board at gmdaboard@gmail.com.
