MIXED CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES
The Mixed Program shall feature five Divisions that will be called Mixed Major, B, C, D, E, and REC.
A. Teams or individuals not reclassified by the By-Laws will be classified by their respective State Director. If a player does not have a current year playing history, the player’s most current tenured playing history will be reverted to.
B. A Mixed Major team shall be allowed any number of male or female players whose names appears on the Association’s Major Player or Watch List.
C. Mixed B team shall be allowed to have male players whose current classification is B, C, D and E. Mixed B team shall be allowed to have a maximum of 4 female players from the Major Player List, Watch List or a women’s team whose current classification is AA. The classification of all other female players will be their current team’s classification of A, B, C, D or E.
D. Mixed C, D and E teams shall only be allowed to have male players that can play one level below their player rating only if they have played at that level during the year. Female players can play one level below their player rating and are not required to play at that level during the year. No player can play two levels below their player rating for the year.
E. Mixed REC teams shall only be allowed to have male players that can play one level below their player rating only if they have played at that level during the year. Female players can play one level below their player rating and are not required to play at that level during the year. No player can play two levels below their player rating for the year.
In order for a male player to be able to play down, he must to play at that level on an established men’s team that has a history of playing in events during the year. For example, a Mixed D team can have a male player rated as C if it has been established that he has played at the D level during the current year. And a Mixed D team can have a female player that has a player rating of C or lower. A female B player playing on a Women’s C team would not be able to play on a Mixed D team, because that would be two levels below their player rating. Note: Any exceptions must be approved by the Executive Director or his designee.
