Elimination Rounds and FINALS information:
During elimination rounds and finals, TEAMS can ONLY use players that are currently on their roster. There will be no fill-in or pool players allowed on the field. If caught using an illegal player a suspension will be given. Our RULES allow you to have as little as 7 players to start and continue a game. If a team is short players (less than 7) they will default the game. In elimination games the winner moves on. During the FINALS, no games can be shifted. Each game is separate so if you default on the 1st game, it is considered a loss.
ANY PLAYER, COACH EJECTED FROM A GAME IS TO LEAVE THE PARK.
BBSC will upload the games into a MASTER SCHEDULE. As the season ends, BBSC will take the current standings and adjust them for those teams that may have lost points due to default. All divisions will receive an updated standings report after the season.
BBSC will be replacing the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6, etc. with teams that are ranked in each division.
THE HIGHEST SEEDED TEAM WILL ALWAYS PLAY THE LOWEST RANKED TEAM AT END OF SEASON.
