Spares Eligibility

In the Optimist Junior Interclub League, spares are not allowed to spare down to a lower level division. This means that any current or former Division 1 player cannot spare for a Division 2 or 3 team. Former Division 1 players are not eligible to spare in Division 1. If a team has more than 4 players, the player(s) who are not playing a game, can spare for any other team in the same Division.

Division 2 and 3 players may spare a maximum of 2 games at Division 1 level.  Any Division 2 or 3 player who plays more than 2 games at the Division 1 level is ineligible to return to Division 2 or 3.
