The Men’s and Coed INDUSTRIAL Softball league is open to employees from a THPRD tax paying COMPANY located within the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District boundaries. All but three players must be employed by the In-District company.
Rosters with the most company employees will be given priority for league entry.
ALL PLAYERS PLAY AT THEIR OWN RISK
LEAGUE ROSTERS
A. Team roster must be completed in full, listing non-employee players first. Contact coedwomensb@thprd.com for the roster form.
B. A player may be registered on only ONE Tualatin Hills Coed or Men’s industrial team.
C. Players must be 17 years of age or older and finished with high school.
D. Rosters must list a minimum of 14 players and a maximum of 20.
E. Rosters may have three (3) non-employees listed or a combination of ghost card(s) and non-employees, not to exceed a total of three.
F. Rosters with the most company employees listed will be given priority for league entry if more than maximum number of teams apply. For team acceptance purposes, only the first 15 players listed on the roster will be counted.
G. For each company employee listed on the roster a copy of a current (within three months) pay stub must be submitted with the team roster. The pay stub must list the company name, company address, employee name and date. Pay stubs may have pay information crossed out.
H. Retired Employees: A company roster may include players that have retired from the company. Retirees must provide proof of retirement from the company’s HR department listing the date of retirement. Retirees must obtain a THPRD Residency ID card. Out-of-District players must pay the appropriate assessment fee.
I. All non-employee in-district and out-of-district players must submit a copy of a valid THPRD ID card with the team roster. Please see Out-of-District Fee Policy information sheet for details on how to receive a THPRD ID card.
J. If inadequate ID is presented (i.e. no pay stub submitted for an employee), DO NOT put the player on the roster. If this creates less than 14 players on the roster, the team may not be considered for the league.
K. Non-employee out-of-district players may be added to the roster IF LEAGUE DOES NOT REACH THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TEAMS. If the league is at capacity, a non-employee out-of-district player on a team roster may be dropped and replaced with another non-employee out-of-district player (must be done at the same time).
L. Due to no industrial women’s teams at this time, a maximum of two women will be allowed to play on a men’s team.
M. Rosters will be checked for accuracy and may be checked by other teams upon request. If a roster has incorrect information on it, a team from the waiting list may take that team's place in the league.
N. Two teams from “small” companies may combine but must have a minimum of 5 employees from each company on the roster.
O. Teams not meeting the above criteria will be considered only on an individual basis and only if space is available. Regulations on those team rosters will be considered individually.
GHOST CARDS AVAILABLE
A. Teams may purchase a maximum of two Sports ID cards called Ghost Cards in lieu of 2 of the 3 non-employee players. A ghost card can be used when short rostered players.
B. Ghost cards will cost $27.00 each. Ghost cards will not be available after the rosters are submitted if the league fills with the maximum number of teams.
