Why does an athlete need 214/510 transfer paperwork if he/she attended a different school but didn't play a sport in the previous 12 months?
All transfers must be documented and a determination needs to be made as to the level of sport for which the student is eligible. The new school uses the transfer paperwork to confirm whether or not the student participated in any sport at the previous school. ATHLETES SHOULD NOT BE PLAYING UNTIL PAPERWORK HAS BEEN FILED, A DETERMINATION HAS BEEN MADE, AND A CLEARANCE SHEET IS RECEIVED BY THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. The penalty for playing an athlete before clearance is received is forfeiture of all games that athlete participated in.

With the new Wilson ball contract, do my teams, in the sports involved, have to use those balls during league play?
NO. In the sports of football, basketball, baseball, and softball, the Wilson balls MUST BE USED IN ALL ROUNDS OF THE PLAYOFFS. If your team makes it to the playoffs, the balls will be provided to you. Many coashes want to use the same brand of ball for league play as will be used in the playoffs, but it is not mandatory.

Do I still send bus orders to the Athletics Office for the playoffs?

Why is a F/S baseball tournament recorded as a JV tournament?
The City Section does not recognize a F/S baseball level, therefore those tournaments are recorded as though they were JV tournaments.

What do I do if I am called late for a tournament?
Get a statement from the Tournament Director describing the circumstances of why you were called late. Submit 1) your Application to Participate, 2) the Tournament Director's statement, and 3) your statement of the situation. You will be put on the late list, and the application and statements will be forwarded to the Rules Committee. The Rules Committee will decide whether or not to waive the late application penalty. If they do not waive the penalty, it will be enforced in the following season.
