RULES FOR THE SPARE PLAYER

 

 

 

These are guidelines that are to be used for the Spare Player.

 

 

  1. Teams are NOT required to carry the Spare Player.

 

  1. Teams are allowed to have only ONE Spare Player.

 

  1. If a team chooses to have the Spare Player, they must pay a $5.00 fee to register the player.  This fee is                                                                               in addition to the Player Change fee, if required.  This fee covers the cost of a Darts Alberta membership.

 

  1. The Spare Player must be designated as the Spare Player on the rosters and the CPDA must be informed of the designation.

 

  1. The Spare Player can ONLY be used as the 5th or 6th player.  If a team has 6, 7 or 8 regular roster players in attendance, the Spare Player is NOT eligible to play that night.  The ONLY time the Spare Player is eligible to play is when a team has only 4 or 5 regular roster players in attendance.

 

Example: if a team has 5 regular roster players then the Spare Player is eligible to play to allow the team to play with 6 players for that night.

 

  1. If the Spare Player plays when ineligible, all games in which the Spare Player participates will be forfeit and the game will be awarded to the non-offending team. 

 

Example: if a team has 7 regular roster players and the Spare Player plays in order to allow the team to have 8 players that night, then any games in which the Spare Player plays will be forfeit.

 

  1. If a team wishes to change the status of the Spare Player to that of a regular roster position, the team must submit the request via a Player Change Form.  All regular requirements for the Player Change Form must be met (i.e.: fee paid by the proper date).

 

  1. Spare Players are allowed to compete in the Doubles and Singles competitions.

 

  1. For the 2009-10 season ONLY:  if a team has already placed 9 players on their roster without designating which player is the Spare Player, then the team must declare which player is the Spare Player no later than September 25, 2009.  This date is the deadline for Player Changes for the second week of the season.
