3. Double Posting: Double posting has been very successful lowering the number of match postponements this season. With any new rule there’s questions on how to use it and ours are different than APA’s double posting rules.Below is the approved rule.  For this to be effective using BCA play rotation the opposing team picks the player to double post and play in two positions before start of the match.

1.8.1 DOUBLE POSTING – Teams with fewer than four players may have one player fill 2 player positions ("double post") playing up to 8 games under these conditions:

1. 1. Acting team captain must notify opposing captain of need to double-post beforestart of match.
   2. Opposing team captain chooses the player to double post and play up to eight games total. Un-played games are forfeit.
   3. A team may only double post once per match.(Cannot double post two players.)
   4. If both teams need to double post, the visiting team picks first.
   5. If a chosen player cannot or refuses to play the extra games, those games are forfeited.
   6. Late arrivals may not replace a double-posted player.
   7. Double posting is not allowed for players leaving early; those games are forfeited if no fifth player is available.
   8. A team with two players to start may: 1) double post one player and 2) forfeit four games.Or, 1) double post one player in 3^rd position at start of match and 2) initiate play for player in 4^th position upon arrival. 
   9. Double posting is not permitted during last 4 weeks of play nor during the playoffs.
   10. Double posting is not permitted during a previously postponed “make-up” match.
   11. Provisionally effective Fall 2026 with Fall season captains to ratify by email vote prior to start of spring 2027.
