color helmet, game jersey, pants or game socks. Head official makes
ruling. Player must leave the sidelines until the correction is made
9. Any player who is ejected from a game will be suspended for one
game on the second ejected either in the same game or a future

PLAYER AGREEMENTS:
Each player in the Cascade Football League must sign a " Player Agreement" form which explains that he cannot move to another team during the season unless all fines and team dues is paid, along with any team equipment he may have. It also releases the team from any liability claims by a player.
Teams are limited to 50 players. However, more can be signed to player agreements. Teams must post their fifty man roster with the name, position and jersey number two weeks prior to the start of the season. Players can be added only if a equal number are dropped up to the fifth week of the season. Rosters are frozen at that point. However, a team can apply for a 'special' medical exemption by sending a email to the commissioner for a vote. Players can not move to another team if they owe that team money for equipment or uniforms only. Unpaid team dues is not applicable.
