Rule of the Week - Rescheduling a Match

by San Diego APA


Situation: I have requested a makeup match ahead of the necessary 24-hour notice to my opponent. They are telling me I have to let them know who will be playing the makeup match(es). Is this true?

Yes, when requesting 1-2 makeup matches the team needing the makeup must indicate who will be playing those matches.

The same requirement is true for Pre-Play matches.

Rule: Bylaws page 4-5 “Rescheduling Matches”: https://apa-by-laws.s3.amazonaws.com/prod/921_bylaws_2024.pdf 

This section also covers:
  • When LO approval is required
  • When makeup matches are not allowed
  • What SL you have to play as at the time of the match

  • Email to sandiego@apaleagues.com.
  • Email Subject Line must read “SDAPA Rule of the Week”
  • Clearly state the rule/situation and if you know where the answer is found please provide those details.
