NYTS SUBSTITUTION
NYTS Player Substitutions: In the event a player is unable to finish a game due to injury or otherwise a substitution should be identified in the order below. If a same day substitution is required, please contact Hayley Heatley to verify and confirm substitute eligibility.
  1. Eligible player not competing in the event (-1+handicap, USPA member in good standing, DOB after 1/1/2004)
  2. Eliminated player from another team
  3. A rated player from another level who could safely compete
  4. If none of the above are available, the game may be completed with 3v4 regardless of time remaining in the game
 
In the event of a player substitution NYTS Equine Welfare Guidelines must be followed, horses cannot compete on more than one team and horses may not play more than 2 chukkers in one day.

NYTS SHOOTOUT TIEBREAKER PROCEDURE

 - In the event of a tie, a shootout will take place after the conclusion of the game following Outdoor Rule 14.d.  
For clarification, there is a contradiction in the NYTS Tournament Conditions (White Book) on procedure. Follow Rule 14.d.
--- Rule 14.d: Each player, alternating teams, will shoot Penalty 3s. After all players have hit, the teams with more points is declared the winner.  Should a tie remain, ALL PLAYERS will hit again, however the team which hit first will now hit second.
