1.5 SUBSTITUTIONS (SD RULE)

If a team is short a player on league night, a replacement player will be allowed as long as the replacement player is an already established NAPA player with a NAPA skill level of equal or LOWER skill level than the player they are replacing.  If the substituting player does not have a skill level in the game format being played, their highest NAPA skill level from any other format must be used.

If the present team member can not find a NAPA substitute of equal or lower skill level, the present team member will be granted a make up match if it does not violate the local league operator's advanced notice rules for their local leagues. The make up match must be played within two weeks. The local league operator is allowed to set their own advanced notice rules for their local leagues.  See the rule regarding Advanced Notice in the main rules for the game format you are playing.

NOTE: The local league operator must be informed of the newly assigned player before any matches begin with the newly assigned player. No adjustments need to be made in NAPA Play. The team skill level will not change with the newly added player on league night. If the team chooses to make the substitute player a permanent player on the team the local league operator should contact NAPA HQ to make any skill level adjustments necessary. Your local league operator has the right to set a limit on the number of times teams can substitute a player during a session.
