1. Team make-up and avoiding Forfeits:

1. Any number of players on the roster. Roster deadline for each session is 2 weeks after the league starts. Players may be added to the roster up until then. Teams will not play unless paid in full. All players must be listed on and have signed their team’s official roster in order to be eligible to play.

2. Teams must have a minimum of 6 player to avoid a forfeit.

3. Picking up players to Avoid a forfeit or playing shorthanded: If a team is shorthanded when picking up players, you MUST inform the opposing captain & umpire. Failure to inform the opposing captain & umpire that you are picking up players can result in forfeit. You cannot pick up extra players, so only 8 total players. PICKING UP PLAYERS IS ONLY ALLOWED IN REGULAR SEASON GAMES, NOT IN THE PLAYOFFS.

4. Forfeit policy pertaining to a team not showing up – If a team does not show up without notifying CSC the team will be eliminated from the rest of the schedule. To avoid this penalty CSC MUST be contacted by 3pm the day of the league. Calling and leaving a message is NOT acceptable notice, you must reach someone. If you leave a message or send e-mail it is not considered notification unless you receive a reply. There is no additional penalty if you show up short-handed and have to forfeit the game, since you did make an effort to get a team to play. Once CSC is notified you are forfeiting, it is official (You cannot change your mind), the other team will be notified.
