<p class="MsoNormal">It is the intention of the committee to let the Captains of each grade have a greater say in the running of their grade. At present email is a good method of consulting. If the captains wish to have regular meetings (before Hockey on Wednesday
or at other times) please let the Vice President, Chris Bond or myself know. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please note we have not been implementing the rules as strictly as we could but this will change!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please read the by-laws (will be uploaded to the web page soon).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14 <b>Reverse Recruiting.</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The intention of this section is to smooth the transition of players back down the grades.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.1 A player wishing to reverse recruit to a lower grade is to notify a member of the committee executive in writing.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.2 The players name will then be circulated to the captains of the lower grade for approval.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.3 The captains of that grade will then offer the player to a suitable team.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.3.1 The captains need to agree on the team for the player.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.3.2 If a majority decision can not be made then the Vice President has the casting vote.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.4 All players are eligible to Reverse recruit to a lower grade providing the team captains of that grade agree to the player participating in that grade.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.5 All reverse recruits shall be marked as such on the team sheet with (RR) next to their name.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6.14.6 If the majority of captains within a grade deem a player is too good to reverse recruit after the player has been accepted, that player will be asked to play in the higher grade only. Note: This rule can only be
applied up to the reverse recruits 5<sup>th</sup> game. It is up to the captains to monitor the reverse recruits in their grade.<o:p></o:p></p>
