SUBSTITUTES
Matches are to be played only on designated day and are not to be moved. If you can't make a match, you must get a sub. You can use your own sub, or someone from the league sub list. If both players can't make it, you can use two subs. Male players CANNOT sub for female players. "A" league players CANNOT sub for "B" league players. Players CANNOT sub for another player within their own league (e.g. If you play on a team in Mixed A, you cannot sub for another player in Mixed A). If subs can not be found, you will have to forfeit - no exceptions will be made. Subs CANNOT be used for ANY playoff matches.
