A little reminder from the TABC

HOLIDAY RESTRICTION

We are receiving questions regarding the Holiday Restriction, specific to December 26th and wanted to send out clarification.

As long as you have satisfied the 5-day requirement prior to the 26th, you may PRACTICE or PLAY a game or tournament game on December 26th because of the exception when the 26th falls on a Thursday, as it does this year.

Additionally, there have been questions about the player ejection rule in section 1208(i)(5), below is an excerpt from 1208.

PLAYER EJECTIONS

(5)Player Ejection. Ejected player misses the remainder of game they were ejected from plus all of the following game.

To clarify, once a player is ejected the player cannot play in the next contest and is considered an ineligible player. On most occasions you will receive notice from the UIL; in the event you do not receive notice from the UIL, the player is still required to sit out the next game (it is the responsibility of the coach to make sure the one game suspension is served). The ejection cannot be appealed or overturned by a game official, even if it is coming from the official who ejected the player. If you have questions about an ejection, call the UIL office, the official has no jurisdiction over UIL rules. Ejected players are considered to be ineligible. Playing an ineligible player, who has been ejected from a game, before they have served their 1-game suspension will result in forfeiture of that game and any subsequent games.
