TEAM ROSTER MUST BE FINALISED BY WEEK 5 OF COMPETITION


The scoresheet lists the names of registered players who have been nominated by the Team Manager. Managers wishing to add or delete players from the roster must do so on their Personal Dashboard. 

Click here to learn more about the Personal Dashboard. This allows managers to remove players, change uniform colours and player numbers. It also allows them to request additions to your team roster. 

Players cannot be added to the roster after week 5. Requests to waive this rule will be considered on a case by case basis. 

NB Temporarily adding a player to the scoresheet each week does not qualify as an amendment to roster. Your Manager needs to make changes through their dashboard.
