ADDENDUM 4
CLUB PASS PLAYER RULE

Purpose:  The Club Pass Player Rule is designed to maximize the development of the player by allowing players to play on a team from the same Club at an older age level on a temporary basis. 

Requirement:  The Club Pass Player Rule to be used for the Classic League must follow the current rules, guidelines (for example: roster sizes), and the following criteria: 

1. Club Pass Player may only play in a higher division within their age group. For example: A D2 player may play for a D1 team.  D3 Players may play for either D2 or D1 teams.
   Players may not transfer to higher ranking teams within their own division.
    
2. Club Player Pass may play at an older level, but, only at the same or higher level.
   For example:     
   U12 D1 player can play U13 (or older) D1, D2 or D3.
   U12 D2 player can play U12 D1 or U13 D1, D2 or D3.
    
3. A Club Player Pass is allowed to play on his Primary Teams
   and on his CPP team per day. (New Rule)
    
4. If a Club Pass Player meets all the registration requirements but does not currently play in USYS sanctioned league the player is considered a D1 player for the purpose of determining their playing level. Players falling into this category are not eligible to club pass. 
    
5. A team may receive a maximum of 3 Club Pass Players per game.
    
6. Club Player Pass is not allowed to participate in the League qualifying games or League qualifying tournaments.  This includes Challenge games, U11 Qualifying Tournament, etc.
    
7. A player, is eligible for a club pass into any age group he is birthdate/year eligible for regardless of what age group that player’s rostered team participates in, providing other restrictions are met. For example: A player who is classified as a U15 and is rostered to a U16 D2 team, may use a club pass to a U15 D1 team. In this situation he would satisfy age requirements as well as avoid breaking “playing down” restrictions currently in place.
    
8. Any club pass player that receives an ejection is required to sit out the next sanctioned game whether it be with the team he received the ejection with or his primary team.

   *Any rules not covered here, refer to North Texas State Soccer  Association Bylaws and  Rules.

Clubs with Divisions:
For the purposes of this rule, a Club having a similar name with other clubs will be considered to be the same club if the club shares a common Board of Directors and is within the same metropolitan area.   All club pass players must be officially registered with North Texas Soccer Association.  
For example:      
Clubs with an affiliation in Austin, TX, cannot use players in NTX unless the Club has the same Board of Directors.

Penalty:
