Line-up Limits
The lineup limits grade setting allows association administrators to set a minimum and a maximum number of players and coaches required for a game. Limits are helpful to ensure teams have the necessary number of players and coaches for a game to proceed. If player points are enabled, player limits ensure both teams have the same number of players and avoid situations where teams stack themselves with more experienced players to get under the player points cap. Coaching limits also help teams comply with competition by-laws.
Team Staff can also select lineups in My Teams.
Enabling player and coach lineup limits
To enable player lineup limits:
- Select the Competition Management main menu item, the appropriate Competition and Season tile, and then view the Grades tab.
- Select the grade, then the Settings tab, and the Game sub-tab.
- In the Lineup limits section, ensure the toggle is enabled for players and/or coaches, then set a minimum and maximum limit (or use the sports default values).
- Update & Save to apply any change.
