New Rule for Captains to vote on at Captains Meeting

At the Captain’s meeting, we will propose that the SDPL permit “double posting” on a trial basis for one season.

Why?

We expect this change to lower the number of forfeits, postponed matches, and need for more than 7 players. Opposing team captain picks the player to play in two positions for up to 8 games. (Weakest player likely to be picked.)

Provisionally effective Fall 2026 with Fall season captains to ratify by email vote prior to start of spring 2027. Reminder team dues of $40 to be paid regardless of double posting or forfeits.

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. Acting team captain must notify opposing captain of need to double-post before start 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 3rd position at start of match and 2) initiate play for player in 4th 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 if it helps solve our forfeits/postponing challenges.
