3.4 Requirement of List of Players in Any Matches
Before the commencement of any match, the Captain/Manager of each team will hand to the umpire a list of the players in the team, as prescribed by the BHA Board. No match can proceed until such team lists are received by the umpires (See also Clause 6.2 Team Cards or Sheets). Where a central control is in operation the prescribed form will be handed to the person in charge of the central control. Should any team fail to submit such a list to the umpire or officer in charge of the central control same shall be recorded and such Club shall be liable to a fine of no less than twenty-five dollars ($25) for the first offence, increasing to fifty dollars ($50) for the next offence, and if any further offences occur, loss of points may occur as per discretion of the Board.

3.5 Juniors Playing in Senior Matches
There is no restriction on the number of matches a registered junior may play in senior matches in any Division but the letters "(JNR)" should appear beside the players name on the Team Card/Sheet.
Junior Players between 13 years to 17 years are not permitted to play in senior divisions unless Parental permission is given in writing to the Club of which he is a member. A copy must also be lodged with the BHA.

3.6 Playing in a Lower Competition/Division
No player may play in a Competition/Division lower than that in which that player is registered.

3.7 Re-registration of Players
If the necessary re-registration forms for players are not submitted by the required time the team may lose points for the match in which the change took place. The deadline (minimum) for any re-registration for a weekend match is 12 noon Friday. With mid-week matches a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours is required.

No player shall be permitted to be re-registered during the final round of Premiership Matches without the consent of The Board.

No player who, or belonging to a team which, has been suspended or disqualified or which has been disbanded, shall be permitted to play in another team without first obtaining the sanction of The Board and paying the Association a proportion on a per capita basis of fees due by the Club of which he was a member as determined by The Board.

3.8 Memorial Cup and President's Trophy

3.8.1 Memorial Cup
To qualify for the Memorial Cup a player must have played over half the matches relevant to the Memorial Cup round in that particular division. However, upon application, the Board may decide on a player’s status for such events.

3.8.2 President's Trophy
To qualify for the President's Trophy a player must have played the equivalent number of matches for a full round in that particular division. However, upon application, the Board may decide on a player’s status for such events.

3.9 Transfers and Clearances (Also see BHA By-laws Part D – Competitions)
Clearances from the previous Club are required whenever a player registers with a new Club. It is the responsibility of the individual Clubs to exchange Clearances. However, the Board may require the Club to submit to the Association a clearance from any previous Hockey Club of which the nominee has been a member, stating that the nominee has no outstanding financial obligations to that club. If such a clearance is not forthcoming, the Board may prohibit that player from competing in BHA competition/s.

If any Hockey Club lodges with the Association a claim setting forth any outstanding financial obligation that a member of the Association has to that Club, the Board may prohibit that member from competing in any competition organised by the Association for such time as it sees fit; provided that such prohibition shall be lifted upon receipt of a clearance from the Club by which the claim has been lodged.
Notice of prohibition shall be given in writing by the Secretary/General Secretary of the Association to the Secretary/General Secretary of the competing Club that nominated the member. The prohibition may not be applied retrospectively prior to the start of the current season.
Clearances should be sought to avoid the possible loss of competition points.
