Division 6 players can ‘play down’ into division 7 a maximum of 4 times per one team per season

2.3 Pool players must be present for a match at start of play.  Should a pool player arrive early for a match, they may not be used as a substitute or an additional player for other teams already on court.  Pool players can play more than one match per night as long as this has been pre-arranged with the appropriate team captain’s. (If, on the night of play a Pool player is on site and you need a Pool player you can ask the co-coordinator to approach the pool player to play for your team prior to the start of your game)

2.4 If on the rare occasion a team goes down to 6 players or below due to injury and a Pool player is on site, with both Team Captains agreement the pool player can step into the injured player’s position for the remainder of the match.
