Rostered at States????

[Finalscore]

Quick question to all the Bucket guru's; Once a kid is rostered on a team and competes at States Tournament is she locked into that team for the rest of the year? Say her team ends their season after States, or they chase something other than an ASA tournament is this kid able to be a pick-up player for another ASA registered team rather then ending her ASA season?
Thanks for your help!

Once she plays at State, she is locked. She is locked on that team until it is done with ASA Championship play. If the team is done after state, she can pick with another team for Nationals. And, she can play for anyone at, say Triple Crown, AFA, or anyone else.

She only has to be rostered and the roster redlined. She does not have to compete in order to be locked onto her team....ASA speaking.

Great info. I to was wondering how pick-up players where handled. For some bedtime reading tonight, where would I find this info. in the ASA rule book or ASA web site?

[TReck]

Once a roster has been redlined, State or any National Qualifier, players who signed in are frozen to that roster. If they did not sign in, they are not frozen to that roster until they do so. After being listed or registered, showing up and signing in is the final step in the freezing process. Unless an association has a different rule specific to that area, the showing up and signing in is the final step and until then they are only listed on the roster and not officially frozen. Otherwise teams could just add players to their list to prevent them from playing anywhere else. Once you show up, sign in and therefore play, you are frozen. Everything else is just thinking about it. This is done to protect the players and prevent teams from freezing players to keep them off of other teams. You have to show up, get checked in and sign in to be frozen to a roster. If they do not check in and sign in, they are not frozen.

Teams attending any level of ASA Nationals, (USA/ASA, Northern, Western, Eastern or Southern) can add any player from non-playing teams 7 days prior to the event for which they are registered to attend. This is because all deadlines are over 7 days prior and there would be no chance of a player who's team is playing in one level to have a player try to leave to play with another team at a differnet level.

Yea, my bad. Once the roster is redlined, you are frozen........

[TReck]

But they must have been present and signed in to be part of the red lined roster. The roster is redlined and those players who were present are frozen.

Being present doesn't have a single thing to do with it. If your signature is on a redlined roster, you are frozen. The fact that you didn't participate or even show up to the qualifier is moot....you signed the roster.

For the case that the players season ended at State and her team is not progressing towards Nationals she is free to be added as a pick-up player on another ASA roster.

Under any circumstances she is free to roster with another team for a non-ASA nationals but might be subject to that other organizations roster rules.

There is also the coach that will not say they are done with ASA championship play and set the players "free." That does happen to. It should be discussed before you sign, what are the plans if we do not qualify? If you don't like that answer then don't join that team. Some teams may say qualify or bust. Some may say Westerns or something else. You are either with the program or not. It isn't fair to sign then say you don't like the plan. Just my .02.
