SAY Minimum Participation Rule
Player required (minimal) playing time SAY rules state that each player must play minimum of 2 quarters or equivalent playing time per each game attended. In other words, a player must play at least half the game. Any coach found to be in violation of this role must forfeit the game in which the violation occurred. This rule is in effect during the regular season as well as the tournament.

Running up the Score (Update: July, 2010 - Winton Valley SAY Board)

When a score disparity of 5 goals is reached in any Winton Valley SAY Area game, the winning coach must remove 1 player from the field. For each additional goal scored, additional players will be removed down to the SAY regulation minimum number of players for that division. Therefore, as the score differential increases, one additional player will come off for each goal scored. As the score differential decreases, players can be added back on up to the normal number of players on the field. It is the responsibility of all Winton Valley SAY coaches to implement play tactics that maintain a reasonable score spread in order to keep individual playing time fair as mandated by SAY National policies.
