With notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may employ and direct the Umpires to employ the version of USPA Outdoor Rule 2 set forth below:

RULE 2 - PLAYERS
a. No player shall play in any Event for more than one team, except that, with notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may designate a handicap range (for example, 7-, 8-, 9-, and 10-goals) containing players who may be excepted under the circumstances described below:
(i) During preliminary play (i.e., non-elimination games), if a player within the designated handicap range is injured or becomes ill during a game, a player competing in the Event of equal or lesser handicap to the injured or ill player may substitute only for the remainder of that game. For all subsequent games in the Event only eligible substitutes may be used.
(ii) After preliminary play, if a player within the designated handicap range is injured or ill and cannot start or becomes injured in a game, an eliminated player of equal or lesser handicap may substitute for the injured or ill player for the remainder of the game and/or Event. An eliminated player is a player who has completed his or her final game in the Event and whose team has been eliminated from the Event. The substitute is not eligible to compete for any other team in the Event.
