Play Allotment Rule: PAR

This rule requires that each certified player play a minimum number of eight (8) to twelve (12) plays per game depending on team size. Although coaches will make their best effort to involve as many players as possible, they are only required to play each player their minimum plays throughout the game. 

Playing time is generally based on the player’s ability to make a positive contribution to the team’s efforts. *SAC Rule Book *

The following shall be the minimum PAR for all SAC teams:

  • 29-35 players ...................... 8 plays
  • 22-28 players ..................... 10 plays
  • 21 or less players .............. 12 plays

PAR MONITORS:

  • 15 minutes prior to the start of each game, each team shall provide two monitors. 
  • These monitors will form two teams, each team consisting of one monitor from each side. Each team will be assigned to either the home side of the field or the visitor' side.  
  • On the home team side of the field the visiting team's monitor will be in possession of the home teams' form and on the visitor's side the home teams' monitor will be in possession of the visitor's form. 
  • These two teams of parents will need to work together to track and monitor all plays to ensure that the PAR (Play Allotment Rule) is met.   
  • Five minutes prior to the end of each half, the respective monitors will notify the head coach or their designee of how many players have not completed their mandatory number of plays, and what their jersey numbers are. 
  • Final notification shall be no later than two minutes left in the game if players have still not met PAR. 
  • If any player fails to play the minimum number of plays, both of the Presidents are to be notified and the jersey number(s) written down in the space provided on the form. 
  • Once PAR has been completed, BOTH volunteers sign off on the front of the PAR sheet and return it to that team's Head Coach or designated individual. After your volunteering is completed you must leave the field. 

 

Failure to meet the PAR requirement, by the end of the regulation of the game (not overtime) will result in forfeiture of the game and Head Coach must be suspended for one week, this includes practice and game.
