Rosters

An official team roster, including the signatures and contact information for all participants is due at

USCCP prior to Game 1. Players may be added to the roster during the regular season so long as he/she

signs the liability waiver prior to competing, and if all eligibility guidelines are followed. Players must play

in at least one regular season game to be eligible for the playoffs. No roster additions once playoffs

begin.

Participation/Eligibility

A player may not:

1. Compete on multiple teams in the same day-specific league.

2. Compete at multiple gender-specific skill levels during the same season.

a. Men’s A players may not compete on Men’s B or Men’s C teams.

b. Men’s B players may not compete on Men’s A or Men’s C teams.

c. Women’s B players may not compete on Women’s C teams.

The same principle above applies to participants in Women’s leagues. Players are classified by their

participation at the highest skill level during the current season. For example, a player who competes on

a Men’s A team at any point during the season is considered a Men’s A player for the remainder of the

season.

A player may:

1. Compete in leagues on different days at the same skill level. Example:

a. Monday Men’s C players may play on a Thursday Men’s C team, and vice-versa.

2. All players may compete on a Co-Ed C team. This is to allow husbands, wives, and families to

participate with each other. If it is deemed that a team is being “stacked” with upper level players

to gain a competitive advantage then that team may be re-assigned to a more competitive league.

ALL MEN’S PLAYERS playing in a Co-Ed C League must swing a wood bat. City will provide one wood bat at

each Co-Ed C field for players to use.
