c) Any player granted permission under rule 1.2.2(a) to play in a higher age category or open age competition is required to fulfil their obligations to their correct age category before playing in an older age category/open age competition. For example, if a player’s correct age category is under 10s, then that player shall not be permitted to play in any under 11s or under 12s Competition for his Club if that Club’s under 10s team has insufficient players to properly compete in the Competitions in which it participates.
