Due to situational circumstances players may drop from participation or may become ineligible for participation in the league. To ensure that each team begins each season with a "full" roster, the DGLFFL will collect information from additional potential participants to build a "waitlist". If a player cannot participate and this is identified before the season begins the DGLFFL will attempt to register a waitlisted player to fill the open slot immediately. Once the season starts (first game day), each captain is given three weeks to contact and confirm roster participation (through team and game attendance, as well as participant nomination). Failure to contact a captain, and failure to appear on game day, may warrant disqualification as a participant on the team. After the third game day, a second draft from the "waitlist" will occur to fill each team's roster, as needed and as possible. Only once an open spot is identified will a "waitlist" participant become registered, and only once registration is done will the player be placed on a team. After the second week "waitlist" processing will occur only at the discretion of the DGLFFL Director of Captain's and will be considered an emergency exception.
