The team is to communicate with the team manager and the team manager is to communicate with Indoor 5. In the event there is a roster issue and the team manager notifies Indoor 5 then Indoor 5 may elect to add players to the roster to assist for that game and/or for the season. The team manager is responsible for ensuring league fees, possible late fees, missed game fees, and damage fees are paid in a timely manner. The team manager must put a credit card on file and is responsible in the event the fees are not paid in a timely manner. Prior notification will be given.

Players on the roster, must play a minimum of 3 games during the regular season games to be eligible for playoffs.
NOTE – Players may only play in one bracket based on their skill level. If a player is deemed to be above the skill level of the bracket the team is signed up for then the entire team must move to the appropriate bracket, or the player must be removed. For example, if a team is signed up for a recreational bracket and has a competitive player that team may be moved to the Silver or Gold bracket.
3. Guest players are allowed, as long as the player is registered, has an active Indoor 5 membership, and is added to the team roster prior to the start of the game. The opposing team must agree to having the guest player participate prior to the start of the game. If a team plays with a player not on the roster or does not follow the aforementioned policy, that team will receive a forfeit. A guest player may be added without the opposing team’s approval but with management approval if there is an injury or Covid related issue causing a player not to play, only if this causes the existing roster to drop below 5 players or if the player is a goalkeeper.

If a player is found to be playing outside of their age range the player may be suspended, team may be forced to forfeit games that the player participated in, or the team may be removed from the league. Please send any questions to management at info@indoor5.com.
7. Division Placement – Teams will be evaluated during the first 2 games of the season for youth and 3 games of the season for adults. After those games are played teams will be grouped into divisions based on skill level and win/loss record. In some cases, this may be a different division than the team originally signed up. Once the teams are grouped the games played prior to the grouping will not count towards the team’s record.

For divisions with an odd number of teams some teams may play more than 9 games, have bye weeks, or have double headers to ensure that all teams play a minimum of 9 games.
When determining playoffs seeding is based on wins and losses, head-to-head, and point differential. In some cases, this may be a different division than the team originally signed up.
