As some players and teams invariably miss out on playing at Millamolong due to too many teams, the Millamolong Committee has decided that no player may play in two teams. This obviously doesn’t include someone filling in for a sick or injured player.

The A Grade may be restricted to 5 chukkas, B Grade to 4 chukkas if there is an oversubscription of teams.
