FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the minimum age to participate in Brampton Sports League?
Participants must be at least 18 years old.

2. Are ID checks required to play in BSL leagues?
Yes. Mandatory ID checks are conducted at the door. Only officially registered players can participate. Exceptions for injury replacements are considered case-by-case.

3. Do I have to wear a BSL jersey?
Yes. Players must wear a numbered BSL jersey so scorekeepers can identify participants. If you already own a jersey from a previous season, you can request a refund when registering again.

4. Do I need to have my roster completed before registering my team?
Yes. Rosters must be submitted before the first game. Changes can be made before the third game, or later only at the discretion of the League Administrator. Players must participate in at least 50% of games to be playoff-eligible.

5. How do individual registrations work?
If you don’t have a team, you can register as an individual (“free agent”). You will be grouped with others or placed on a team needing players.

6. How can I add players to my roster in Digital Shift?
Team captains can log into Digital Shift, select their team, click “Add (+Player),” and fill in the player’s info. Make sure the player accepts the email invitation to access schedules and updates.

7. Where can I view my team’s schedule?
Schedules are available at www.bramptonsportsleagues.ca. Select your sport and click “Schedule.”

8. When will the schedule be posted?
Schedules are released no later than the Friday before the league starts. Our goal is to provide them 7 days in advance, though late registrations may cause delays.

9. Where are the games held?
Games are primarily at Save Max Sports Centre (Sandalwood Parkway & Dixie Road, 7–10 PM). Some leagues may be at Gore Meadows Community Centre or Balmoral Recreation Centre. Check your schedule for details.

10. What should I do if my team cannot attend a scheduled game?
A missed game results in a forfeit, and the opposing team wins by default. Please notify the league convener if you know in advance.

11. What skill level is required to participate?
BSL is recreational and welcoming to all skill levels. Divisions and tiers may adjust based on performance, usually after the first 3 weeks of play.

12. Are there prizes for the winning teams?
Yes. The top three championship teams receive medals at the end of the season.
