Allowed??
Only the agency/league/administrator can make a RULE that one could not. Our GHSA (Georgia High School Association) has such a rule; several of the NCAA conferences that I work with have a requirement to report such a conflict, but it remains their option (doubt it would happen, however). These have those administrative rules because the actual playing rule books (USA/ASA, NCAA, NFHS/PGF) do not.
So, check with whatever is the administrator of the games you are concerned about. Or be more specific so others with knowledge of that situation can give you an answer with facts.
