Example: 8th graders can only play in the 8th grade division. However, if you’re a 7th grader, you can play 8th grade division with approval from the commissioner of the league.”

Coaches are only allowed to challenge up to 3 players on the opposing team. If more than 1 player is proven illegal, a forfeit is assessed and the team is ineligible to advance. If the challenging coach is incorrect, he/she will be assessed a technical foul *more than one incorrect challenge will result in ejection*
