Section IV.1: Callups from higher level OT/MOT teams

Previous Rules

  • OT teams could call up players from any higher division (outside of OT1).
    i.e., OT2 players could be called up to OT7 teams.
  • There were no restrictions on the number of players that could be called up from higher level divisions per game.
    i.e., OT teams could call up up to 4 players from higher level teams per game, and MOT teams could callup a maximum of 6 players from higher level divisions per game

New Rules

  • A player registered to an OT or MOT team that is more than 2 divisions above the division of the game that is being played is ineligible (i.e., an OT2 registered played cannot be called up to a team in OT5, OT6 or OT7)
  • For both OT and MOT, a team may call up a maximum of 3 higher level players (any additional callups must come from lower divisions)
  • A team using higher OT division players are limited to 15 players on the gamesheet for that game
  • A team using higher MOT division players are limited to 16 players on the gamesheet for that game
