| March 10, 2008 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | CAN MAJOR PLAYERS PLAY WITH AAA OR AA ? I believe this has been asked before but I was wanting to know if a AAA or AA player is registered on a team , can they play with a Major team and still be able to play with their AAA o AA team in tournaments? Just wanting to makew sure.. |

One down is the limit. Keep in mind they can play up, but may get screwed being labeled (player rated or what ever) as one of the two top divisions if they do that. Not sure about any in TX but there is in CA where teams players are not rated, but their system is messed up big time. There are some post about this somewhere. Look for a place where it won't matter if you plan of using one that way. |

This is what was told to the team that I wanted to play with. I'm a 55 major plus play wishing to play with a 50 major team. I was told that both Terry and Ridge stated this. |
| March 10, 2008 rabbit Men's 70 319 posts | Hi Bruce, yes, that also was told to me , but I would think it really would have to be a "so called impact player as they state one to be, ", I do not see them moving a team up, unless they dominate the division or one tourney, then I would move the team, otherwise, I see nothing wrong with a player playing on both teams, usually one or two players do not make great team, Rabbit |
| March 10, 2008 MTM Men's 70 25 posts | I asked if a major player could move down to AA or AAA if they didn't like the major level. I was told it would be hard for a jmajor player to move to an AA team and the AAA team would need written approval from the office and you can only switch once, |

| March 10, 2008 TexasTransplant Men's 70 516 posts | From the SPA website (page 39 of rules): Playing in Two Different Age Groups A player may play in two different age groups for which he is eligible at the same level of classification or at the next lower level of classification on a younger team. Example: A 65+ player playing on a 65+ Major team may also play on a 60+ Major or 60+AAA team. However, if the 65+ player is playing on a 60+ Major team then he would not be eligible to also play on a 65+ AAA team. Player Participation Rules All Senior SPA PLayers will be required to show their National Player Registration card prior to participating in any SPA event. A player on a Major Plus roster will only be allowed to play for a Major Plus or Major team. A player may participate in more than one lower age division during any S.P.A. sanctioned event. However, there may only be two (2) players from an upper age division team playing on a lower age division team in any S.P.A. sanctioned event on the same week-end. |
