FALL REGISTRATION PACKET

TEAM ROSTER FORM

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS THE DEADLINE?
Teams not making the deadline will be placed behind all teams that do. Returning
teams not making the deadline will result in forfeiture of "returning team" status. Teams
that submit partial fees or incomplete rosters are not considered entered until all the
information and fees have been submitted. NO EXCUSES WILL BE ACCEPTED.  

WHAT NEEDS TO BE TURNED IN?

To be considered for a league, all teams must submit a completed team Waiver/Roster
and the entire League entry fee, designated above, on or prior to the specified
deadlines. Team rosters must specify the league classification and playing night. The
entry fees may be submitted in cash, cashiers check, money order, personal or
company check. Payments by major credit card are only accepted at the District
Office.

Please note that all of the above items must be received before your team is
considered for a league. Partial payments for league fees will not be accepted.  Rosters
must have player names (signatures may be finalized prior to first game). Teams that
submit entries after posted deadlines will lose their priority for league slots and may not
receive a slot in the league(s) they desire or a slot at all depending on demand.

WHAT LEAGUE CAN I SIGN UP FOR?

League field assignments and nights of play are listed above. You may sign up for any
night in your prior seasons classification. First priority will be given to teams that played
on that night in the prior season. Please refer to the Priority System. Be sure to
indicate the night of play you want as well as the classification (Example: Monday Men’s
D SP) and a second choice. H.A.R.D. reserves the right to move teams up or down in
classification when necessary to maintain the overall balance of the leagues. Teams
that are required to move up based on prior year performance may not appeal such
moves but will retain a priority for the new league. Field assignments are subject to
change based on team registrations. Final league make-up and field assignments will be
determined after the registration deadline. Teams will not be moved from their first
request without notification of options. The league reserves the right to combine
leagues in order to fill a classification. Teams that refuse to move when combining
leagues will lose their priority for the following season.

WHAT IS THE ENTRY PRIORITY SYSTEM?

THE FOLLOWING PRIORITY RATING SYSTEM WILL BE USED FOR ALL LEAGUE
PLACEMENTS PROVIDED THE TEAM HAS MET ALL THE CRITERIA AND HAS BEEN
SUBMITTED ON TIME. PRIORITIES ARE FOR A TEAM’S PRIOR YEAR LEAGUE ONLY. A
RETURNING TEAM DOES NOT HAVE BUMPING RIGHTS FOR ANY OTHER LEAGUE
CLASSIFICATION OR NIGHT.

PRIORITY #1:        Returning team from 2008 Summer Season.
.
PRIORITY #2:        New teams as space allows. Team rosters will be ranked on a point
system. Two (2) points for a Hayward Area Sponsor, one (1) point for each Hayward
Area resident. (Hayward Area consists of Hayward, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo,
Ashland, Cherryland, Fairview and a small portion of the 94578 zip code in San
Leandro). Teams that fail to provide address information on the original roster will not
receive any points.

PRIORITY #3:        Teams that come in after the deadline lose all rights to any league
slot regardless of tenure in the league or residence on the roster and will be taken on a
first-come, first-serve basis until all leagues are filled.
