10 All Teams - Player Placement and Late Players

10.1  No team may play with less than 5 players at the commencement of a game, in which case the team will be penalised 1 goal per minute until at least 5 players are able to take the court (subject to 9.1-9.7).

10.2  No changes to team positions can occur until an interval (time between quarters) or injury stoppage.

Late players are not permitted to take position on court until an interval, injury stoppage or a goal is scored after their late arrival.  Such late player(s) may only take a position which is vacant and which does not breach 9.1-9.7.  Team placement changes to accommodate late player(s) are not permitted until an interval or injury stoppage.
