CGVA SUBSTITUTION RULES - Indoor 6s Play
[As of January 2023]
In general, Division Representatives (DRs) are required to approve all non-CGVA rated sub requests during League Play as well as all subs during the End of Season Tournament.
FOR ALL GAMES
If a team is caught playing with unapproved subs, the games will be forfeited, even if they have already been played.
DURING LEAGUE PLAY
CGVA-RATED SUBS:
-
Required to be from the same division of play or lower.
- If a sub has a CGVA rating but they are not playing in the current season, they will need to register on the CGVA website, which includes signing a waiver and paying a $5 fee.
NON CGVA-RATED SUBS:
- Team captain is required to contact their Division Rep for approval.
-
If approved, the sub is required to register on the CGVA website, which includes signing a waiver and paying a $5 fee.
- Registration is per night of play, not per season.
- Teams with 7+ players on their roster: Each missing team member will be allowed a sub (aka a 7th player sub is allowed).
DURING END OF SEASON TOURNAMENT
All subs require Division Rep approval:
- Sub requests must be emailed to their DR for approval prior to the start of play.
- Please submit sub requests and challenges to the DR as early as possible to provide ample time for review/approval!
Subs are required to have an official CGVA rating:
- Non-rated or provisional-rated players will NOT be allowed to sub.
- Players from teams who are still in the tournament should not sub for teams that are approved to have a sub; however, if a player's team has been eliminated from the tournament, they will be eligible to be a sub. DRs will make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
- If a sub has a CGVA rating but they are not playing in the current season, they will be required to register on the CGVA website, which includes signing a waiver and paying a $5 fee.
Accepted Sub Reasons:
- Subs will be allowed for only certain reasons with proof including medical, work travel, and family emergency.
- TEAMS WITH 7+ PLAYERS:
- PHYSICAL INJURY: A 7th sub will only be allowed for a player who has experienced a physical injury with proof provided to the DR.
- NON-PHYSICAL INJURY: A team with 6 players present from their original roster will not be allowed to pick up a 7th sub for any other reason that is not related to a physical injury.
- PHYSICAL INJURY: A 7th sub will only be allowed for a player who has experienced a physical injury with proof provided to the DR.
DISPUTE OF A SUB
- If approved by the DR, an email will be sent to the opposing team captain for review of the submitted sub.
- The opposing team's captain will have until the start of game play to challenge the sub proposal.
- Any challenge to a sub proposal will be the final discretion of the DR based on the specifics of the reason, timeliness, and best possible fair game play.
