5. TO READ:
3. A final national games tournament roster shall consist of a
minimum of eight (8) players and a maximum of ten (10) players. All
players listed on the final national games roster must have an
opportunity to play during each match of the tournament, unless
otherwise indicated by the national games medical personnel.
A final game roster (dressed to play athletes) consists of a minimum
of five (5) players and a maximum of ten (10) players must be
submitted to the head referee 15 minutes prior to the start of each
game. No fewer than four (4) players and not more than five (5)

MOTIONED BY: Special Olympics Manitoba
RATIONALE: The existing rule imposes a "must have substitutes" rule
that does not exist in FIFA's Rules of the Game. FIFA only regulates
the minimum number of players to start a games and a maximum number
of players on the roster. In our case a team will be eliminated if
it
drops below the eight (8) players while it is still able to field a
minimum number of players required to compete
