CJML Sports League

Rules

Standards for fair play, safety, and consistent competition across CJML sports.

General conduct

  • Respect officials, opponents, teammates, and venue staff at all times.
  • Unsportsmanlike conduct, harassment, or fighting may result in suspension.
  • Teams are responsible for their sideline behavior and fans in their area.
  • League commissioners may issue warnings, fines, or removals for repeated violations.

Eligibility & rosters

  • Players must be registered on an official roster before participating in a game.
  • Roster changes follow commissioner deadlines; late adds may require approval.
  • Players may not appear on more than one roster in the same sport unless league policy allows.
  • Photo ID or roster verification may be required at playoffs or championship events.

Scheduling & forfeits

  • Published schedules are official; teams should confirm times and locations before game day.
  • Forfeits must be communicated to the league as early as possible.
  • Unexcused no-shows may count as a loss and can affect playoff seeding.
  • Weather or facility closures: follow league announcements for make-up dates.

Basketball

Games follow standard CJML basketball format unless the season bulletin states otherwise. Commissioners set game length, foul limits, and overtime rules before the season starts.

  • Technical fouls carry league review; repeated techs may lead to suspension.
  • Only registered players and listed coaches may occupy the bench area.
  • Scorekeeping and stat entry should be completed before teams leave the venue.

Football

Flag or touch formats use league-approved equipment. Player safety gear requirements are defined in the season captains meeting notes.

  • Illegal contact and targeting rules are enforced; ejections are at official discretion.
  • Teams must field a minimum roster to avoid forfeit.
  • Protests on scoring plays must be raised with officials before the next snap when possible.

Soccer

Matches use FIFA-inspired laws adapted for CJML field size, roster size, and substitution windows published each season.

  • Yellow and red card accumulation may carry automatic suspensions.
  • Slide tackles and dangerous play are penalized; repeat offenders may be removed from play.
  • Teams must provide a captain or designated representative at check-in.
