Premier Senior Competitions
To reduce disruption to the match, each team will have a maximum of 3 opportunities to make substitutions during the game; substitutions may also be made at half-time, which does not count towards the maximum of 3 opportunities. If both teams make a substitution at the same time, this will count as 1 of the 3 opportunities for each team.
For finals series matches where extra time is required, each team will have 1 additional opportunity to make a substitution.
Premier Youth Competitions
A team is permitted to name a maximum of 5 interchange players on the team sheet. A team will be permitted to make unlimited interchanges during each half and the half-time interval.
