PLAYER NOMINATIONS

• All players competing in the Finals Series needed to be
  nominated and be eligible to play in the team prior to
  the Semi Finals.

• Players are not eligible to change teams from what
  was entered prior to the Semi Finals.

DISCIPLINE
             Suspended players may not play in the Finals Series but the games count towards their
            suspension.
         Players whom suspensions will end during the Finals Series must be nominated with the team.
      Players suspended during the Finals Series cannot be replaced with “late nominations”.
    All cautions from the regular season are reset.

A Player who accumulates two (2) Yellow Cards in the Finals Series shall serve a mandatory one (1) Fixture
Suspension to be served immediately in the next Finals Series Fixture to be played by the Club in that Season.

Any person dismissed from the field of play is suspended automatically until the Disciplinary Committee
finalises the matter. This includes Premier 20’s or Reserve Grade players that may be eligible to participate in
the next match.

The use of ineligible players will render the team in breach of the Regulations.
BDSFA Regulations deal with team officials in the same way they deal with players. You will be
automatically suspended if you are removed from the field of play by the referee.

TEAM & GROUND OFFICIALS
          Only registered Team Officials and players will be allowed within the technical area.
