eligible International players. The player selected will become a permanent
member of the team. The manager or coaches will not be allowed to discuss
possible selection of a player with that player or his/her parents/guardians until
such time as the player accepts the assignment to the Majors team. The Player
Agent will communicate such selection to the player and his/her
parents/guardians and assign the selected player to the team. The player must
begin play by the fourth game after a loss of player. If the player was lost prior
to the first game of the season, the replacement player must begin play

parents/guardian until such time as the player accepts the assignment to the

and his/her parents/guardians. The replacement players will become a
permanent member of the Majors division team.
If the list of eligible players maintained by the Player Agent contains no players,
the team experiencing the loss of a player will play the remainder of the season
with its remaining players and not be required to select a replacement player.
Failure to comply with Section XV will result in the President convening a
special meeting of the Board of Directors to impose the following penalties:

"suspended" two games for each game played without a selected
replacement player in the line-up. The manager may not attend any
team practices or games during the period of suspension, and
2. The Player Agent will be requested to select and assign a replacement
player at random and without prejudice or influence from anyone else.
3. If the Player Agent determines all eligible players refuse the assignment
as a Majors division replacement player, the team will play the
remainder of the season with its current roster.
This Section does not apply to players lost in the last three games of the season.
Managers, with approval of the Board of Director’s, may release players for
justifiable reason(s) between the conclusion of the regular playing season and
seven (7) days prior to the Majors draft. In the event that a player is released,
the President shall send a letter of release to the player and his/her
parents/guardian. Such notice of release shall be given in sufficient time for the
player to qualify for and attend tryouts and selection to another team. A
justifiable reason will be determined by the President.
Players or their parents/guardians may also request the player be released
during the playing season for justifiable reason(s). A justifiable reason will be
determined by the President. If eligible based upon age or because of receipt of
the waiver provided for in Section XIII.D.1, the released player has the option of
Page 12

requesting placement on an International division team roster if an opening

following season. If the player selects the option for placement on an
International team, the player will be placed on an International team as
determined by the Player Agent.
