How big can a team roster be, and can we add players?

Roster size (players)

• Master Men and Co-Ed: minimum 12, maximum 20
• Men's: minimum 12, maximum 17
• Women's: minimum 12, maximum 20
• Coaches and managers: 1 to 5 in total

Adding players
A provincial or territorial team may add up to 3 players if each one signed a Softball Canada Team Registration Form by the registration date with the province or territory picking them up, the player's own provincial or territorial association approves, the player is eligible for Canadian Championship play, and the pick-up is made by the end of the coaches/managers meeting with written provincial or territorial approval. A team from the Atlantic provinces may pick up to 5 players from any of the Atlantic provinces, and a team from Manitoba or Saskatchewan may pick up to 5 players from the other of those two provinces, in each case with the release of the player's home province.

Playing in the championship round
A player must have played at least 1 round-robin game of the Championship to be eligible for the Championship Round.
