Permitted exceptions
...
- Pre-approved back-to-back restrictions: The policy allows for back-to-back game restrictions based on factors like age, workload, or injury history, but these must be pre-approved.
Those two stars last played Saturday night. But. However. The team plays in Toronto manana. Musta been pre-approved.
