Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to include all players on the Team Profile Form?

Yes. All players MUST be included on your team profile form. This allows the Competitions Committee to look at the team as a whole, even though they may only be considering the approval of one player.

Can I advance another team?

If the league advances/retreats me, do I still need to apply to RAB?

If the league you participate in advances/retreats you, and your team is content with the level you have been advanced/retreated to, then there is no need to apply to Ringette Alberta to maintain that level. As per 8.3.2. of 8.0 Team Advance/Retreat Policy, the team will be automatically moved to that level for the sake of Ringette Alberta competitions (Provincial Playdowns & Championships)

If your team is not content with the level advanced/retreated to, the team may apply to Ringette Alberta to remain at it’s previous level (as per 8.3.2)

What type of information should be included in the rationale?

When submitting an overage or male player request, any information that was utilized to allow the player to participate as such should be included in the RAB Request. This could include: personal information, medical information, team availability, etc. Any information that could be relevant to the decision to approve or deny the player should be included. There is rarely a second chance for the Competitions Committee to speak with those submitting the requests, so as much information as possible should be included right from the beginning.
