24.1 Generally, returning teams will be assigned to the same skill division in which they played at the end of the previous season. The Executive reserves the right to move a team to a different skill division if their record from the previous season warrants such movement. If a team’s Pre-Registration information indicates that their make-up has changed significantly and/or if the team requests a different skill division, the Executive will evaluate the information and assign the team to the appropriate skill division.

Teams new to GAARA must indicate in which skill division they wish to participate. The information provided in the team Pre-Registration form, the Player History Forms and other documents submitted at egistration will be evaluated by the Executive who may assign the team to a different skill division if deemed appropriate.

24.2 The Executive may move teams to a higher or lower skill division for the second half of the season if their record has demonstrated that they are too strong or too weak for the division in which they are playing. The membership will be advised of such movement at the re-alignment meeting in November.

24.3 All teams shall have the option of requesting approval from the GAARA Executive to play in a higher division if they have demonstrated their skill level to be competitive.

24.4 The Registrar shall be the contact person for players who wish to join teams within the league. Teams shall inform this person of openings on their teams.
