No Roster Changes (add or drop) After Week 4

by San Diego APA


Once week 5 is posted NO roster changes can be made to Cities qualified teams. This includes dropping players.

Here is the rule from the OTM (Page 77): https://media.poolplayers.com/TMRB/Team-Manual-English.pdf

6. Spring Rosters Are World Qualifier Rosters

Your roster at the end of the Spring Session will be your team's roster for the World Qualifier. Players who were on the roster when the team qualified, but are not on the roster in the Spring Session leading into the World Qualifier, are not eligible because they are no longer considered part of the team. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.

A team with only four available or eligible players on their roster will have to play in the World Qualifier with those four players. All roster changes for qualified teams must be made prior to the teams submitting their week four scoresheets during the Spring Session. All qualified team rosters are frozen at the conclusion of week four. No one may be dropped or added. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.

Any changes needed prior to this time need to be emailed to sandiego@apaleagues.com (other email addresses or text msg may not guarantee the change is made in time).
