Fair Play Submission Form

Thank you for taking the time to submit a Fair Play Submission Form.  Your feedback is important to the league!

Please review the league rules regarding equal playing time and provide specific examples/ violations from the game regarding how this coach has violated rule B-1-A and B-1-B.  The WMBA Fair Competition Committee asks that you provide the most information you can pertaining to the incident so they can perform a review.

B-1-A    All community club players must receive equal playing time.

For the 5-7 coed age division, all teams must substitute their players at 4-minute intervals. Teams in the 8 to 11 Boys and Girls divisions must substitute their players at 5-minute intervals throughout all league and playoff games.  All other age groups should make substitutions at 5-7 minute intervals.

B-1-B    At the specified time exactly, the play will stop and 4 new players (5-7 age) and 5 new players (8-11 ages) must be on the floor.   No player may double shift if there are 10 players or more.  In situations where there are 8 or 9 players, no one should be triple shifted.  If a team has 7 or fewer players dressed, there may be some triple shifting, but the same player cannot be constantly double or triple shifted throughout the game.  In other words, no player should play an entire half of basketball without substitution.  Coaches are also not allowed to “bank” time (i.e. overplay weaker players in games where they have a big lead, and then restrict time in tougher contests).
