I am re-posting this message because a forfeit was give to a team yesterday when they played the first game of their doubleheader with a player from the opposing team to avoid a forfeit and ended up winning that game with the illegal player.
The rule below will be strictly enforced because it is unfair for other teams in a division who a vying for a playoff spot, to have team who should have forfeited, pick up a win, that can affect the standings for playoff positioning.
Starting today any team manager who gives the opposing team an illegal player so that team avoids a forfeit and a game can be played, will be suspended for two league games.

Note: The following message was first posted on May 22nd.
This is a reminder that Millennium Sunday players can only participate for one team in the league during the season.
It seems like every year this question comes up and I need to address it again.
Here are a couple of examples of what players have done in the past which resulted in forfeits.
1. A player can not play for a team in a 10:00 a.m. doubleheader and then also play for a different team in a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader.
2. A player can never play up or down a division for another team in the league for any reason.
If it is proven that a player played for another team other than the one he first played for in the league, then the second team he played for game(s) will result in a forfeit.
Playoff Eligibility: To be eligible to play in league playoff games, a player must have played in eight games of the regular season schedule.
