More info:

If short of players, the Captain must make the opposing Captain aware prior to the start of the game -
The names of players listed in games 1-6 go into a draw to be drawn by the opposing Captain. Both Captains or a representative of both teams must oversee the draw -
If at home, any player redrawn gives the opposing player a five point start. -
If away, any player redrawn gives the opposing player a three point start. -
If redrawn, the second game does not count towards the players League averages. -
The rule can only be applied once per game. -
If Captains agree – Discretion may be applied to the rule and how many players go into the draw. -
No player can play twice in a match more than four times in a season -
The rule will NOT apply for cup matches. -
This rule is for emergencies only and for only when teams are short of players – It must not be abused to try and give teams an extra advantage and the League will step in if it feels this is the case.
