4 Constitution, Rules & Playing Conditions 59 Clubs are unable to assign any player to this category. Only the Player Registrar can perform this task and only after receipt and acceptance of all requested documentation. 5.3 Eligibility (i) Each BDCL club will be allowed to register one Category 2 or Category 3 Player. Any such player shall be eligible to play for a club’s First Eleven, providing that that team plays in Division 4 or above.
