Sub Rules

SUBSTITUTION-

  • Captain may substitute a player during league games only. You must have your complete registered team for Playoffs unless given approval from the director due to injury or illness. (see Medical Substitution)
  • Captains may use a player from another team or find an outside sub within their division.
  • Players may play up a division if asked by the advance but upper divisions may not play down.
  • The captain can bring in a sub or player exchange anytime up to game start time as long as it adheres to guidelines.
  • If a substitute and the player they are replacing both show up, only the team player will be allowed to play.
  • Once a substitute player has played on a team, they are still welcome to substitute for another team later in the season, if needed. A sub is not tied to one particular team. A player exchange (or replacement) is tied to one team, but may still serve as a substitute
  • minimum of 3 players from the original roster  + 2 subs (1 from another team and 1 from outside who has played in ACES) is the required amount for a team to play a game

Playoff Subs

  • Substitution for teams missing (1) player can be pulled from team who did not qualify for playoffs.**
  • Substitution for teams missing (1) player can be pulled from a team who has lost their playoff matchup.
  • ADV/Upper Team can pull a player from a losing team in lower division. Higher division players cannot play down a division. 
  • ALL SUBS MUST be lower or equal skill of player being replaced. Requests for subs must be submitted to info@acesintexas.com and all subs from losing team during playoffs must be approved by on-site ACES staff. 

 

******Medical Substitutions – in case of an injury, you are allowed to get a substitution, but the player still needs to be at least 2 games in regular season but must follow the substitution section. The injured player will not be allowed to return to the match.
