20 1 Policy in application Firstly, Clubs are encouraged to take advantage of the Special Permit system which allows teams with lesser numbers to borrow players from an opposition team who has greater numbers to allow both teams to take the field with an even number of players. If for any reason it is not possible to borrow players from another team, then the team with the greater numbers shall field no more than one (1) additional player on the field, to that of the team with the lesser numbers i.e. if team X only has 15 players, then team Y is restricted to 16 players on the field. Where there is a reduction in players on the field, the bench can be extended to allow 24 players to compete in the game i.e. where 16 players are on the ground, the team with the greater number of players may have up to 8 on the bench (allowing 24 players to be named on the team sheet) Where a player is sent from the ground under the send-off rule, the opposition team is not required to reduce their numbers on the field to accommodate the reduction in player numbers Where a player is sent from the ground under the send-off rule and that team falls below 14 players, rule 6.1 of the EDFL by-laws shall apply Where an injury has occurred that has reduced the number of players on the field, the opposition team with the greater numbers shall, upon polite request from the opposing Team Manager, reduce the number of players on the field by one Where a player is injured and cannot return to the field and that team falls below 14 players, rule 6.1 of the EDFL by-laws shall apply Junior Special Permits If a team is unable to field 14 (12 Girls) players they may borrow players from the opposition provided they fill in the Special Match Permit Form which allows a player to play with the opposition for that game only. This applies to all Underage Grades and Divisions. (A Special Match Transfer Form allows a player to play up to four (4) games from the date of issue). These completed and signed forms will be given to the Umpires prior to the start of the game.
