Updates to the Reference Manual

Additions: Uniforms entered into Sportability- Players must have their

names and jersey numbers entered into Sportability and they should match all season long.  If a coach or team delegate changes players’ uniforms without notifying opponents, that coach and/or program may be fined $100 per incident.
