IMPORTANT PLAYER REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Every player in every match played in the Eastern Rockies Rugby Union  (ERRFU) must be enrolled in the current membership program  (CIPP) with the club they are representing before they participate in any rugby match. ERRFU will compare the Match Rosters and Reports to the current CIPP rosters for clubs for all matches played.  Clubs using ineligible players in any match will forfeit  the match and may be further sanctioned by ERRFU per the current  competitive regulations. Repeated use of ineligible players in Eastern Rockies' league matches may result in the offending club being removed from league play for a period of time as also provided by the regulations. Matches played within the geography of Eastern Rockies that are organized by the Western Territory, USA Rugby and/or the International Rugby Board are governed by the rules of those governing bodies.
