Rules and Regulations for Guest Players

  1. ABPL Committee will allow guest players but the Committee will decide for which team the player will play.
  2. Guest player cannot be someone ( who lives in Austin) who is a friend of another player or a co-worker or classmate that you know or something similar. Only the following two types of players will be considered as guest player –
    • An individual (of Bangladeshi origin) who has recently moved to Austin from a different city/country after the league has started
    • A friend of one of our players, who does not live in Austin (visiting Austin and staying with the player who brought him). He needs to be of Bangladeshi origin.
    • Someone (we know) who has not signed up for a team when the league started but decided to participate in the middle of league.
  3. Once a guest player is assigned to a team, it will be up to the team to decide whether he will play in the starting line up or as a substitute. However, when the team will have enough players available for that game, then guest player will not be permitted to play more than 50 minute of the game.
  4. If there are too many players and a third “non-league” game has been arranged for additional players, then the ‘guest players’ will not be permitted to participate in the league game. They can only play the ‘non-league’ game.
  5. Individual who brings the guest player must ensure that the guest player sign ABPL Waiver Form before they come to play.

NON League Games

As each of the four teams now have 22 or more players in their team, and every Sunday the two regular games can accommodate 48 people maximum (in the starting lineup), having too many players can be a problem for a team. When teams will have too many available players on a certain day, then ABPL Committee may have to ask some players to play by themselves in a separate field as non-league games. Any player who would choose or be sent to play the non-league games should be automatically in the team’s starting line up in their next game (/when they are available for their next  game). All guest players will be requested to play in the non-league games.
