The committee will always consist of 10 members.
The committee will always consist of 8 regular members, a Chairman and a Co-Chairman.

The Chairman seat is always reserved for the SBL League Commissioner
The Co-Chairman seat is reserved for a second SBL Administrator
If there is no second SBL Administrator to fill the Co-Chairman seat, the seat will become available for regular committee members

There will be a committee vote to decide which current serving committee member fills the Co-Chairman seat
If a non-SBL Administrator is serving in the Co-Chairman seat and a second SBL Administrator is available, the current Co-Chairman will be required to step down from his seat and fill a normal Committee seat

The above rule is invalid if the second SBL Administrator has been dismissed from the committee, or is indefinatly disallowed from joining the committee.

If this situation causes for the committee to surpass the 10 person limit, the committee will vote on which member to dismiss

Each member of the committee has an equal right to vote and each members vote is considered equal
At no point may there be more than three (3) committee members from the same squad

If this situation arises, committee members breaking the rule must resign until the rule is held true
If no committee member resigns or the rule is not held true, the Chairman will be charged with dissmissing members until the rule is held true

Members of the committee may be dismissed from the committee if a vote is passed requesting their dismissal
1. The Chairman can not be dismissed. This rule will be modified as the committee gains more power.
2. To dismiss the co-chairman, the committee must reach a unanimous decision (excluding the co-chairman).
Members of the committee are free to resign at any point

If a seat becomes available for the committee, non-committee players will be given adequate time to apply to join the committee
1. To apply to join the committee you must have a sponsor from any member currently on the committee, or the out-going committee member who is leaving his seat.
2. Each committee member may sponsor only one individual to join the committee
3. Committee members are free to sponsor the same player as another committee member
After the applications have been fully received, the committee will vote to decide which applicant fills the vacant seat
At any point during the season a player is able to apply to join the committee even if no seat is available
1. To apply to join the committee you must have a sponsor from any member currently on the committee
If an applicant successfully apply's to join the committee when no seat is vacant, the committee will hold a vote on the applicant

If the applicant receives a majority vote, the committee will hold a further vote to decide which member of the committee must be dismissed
If the applicant does not receive a majority vote he/she is unable to re-apply for at least 60 (60) days.
If no member receives a majority vote to be dismissed, the applicant is refused and no committee member is dismissed.

When a player breaks a rule, the committee will decide how and for how long to punish them.
The committee will have pre-produced guidelines for punishment depending on the crime and the offenders history
The guidelines of the committee will not be made public
The guidelines are simply guidelines, the committee has the power (with a majority vote) to punish a player in any way they wish

Any player punished may appeal their punishment along with providing additional information or reason as to why they're appealing
Appeals will be held and discussed by the committee, and a majority vote will be taken to assess the decision
If the committee agrees with the appeal, a revised punishment will be issued by the committee

The committee will have full and complete power over the setting, modification and deletion of rules.

Specifically, rules that effect punishment and are considered to be league offenses.

Example of these rules include Racism, Double squadding, Spamming, Bug-abuse etc.

When there is no majority, the vote with the highest percentage is considered the winning vote.

Any vote involving a committee member dismissal can not be accepted unless there is a winning majority vote of at least 50%.

Any member of the committee agrees to secrecy on topics discussed, information shared, and any committee related documents
If a current or past committee member is found to be leaking any information that is not currently public knowledge, they will be punished

Additional punishments to follow will be at the discretion of the remaining committee members and will come down to a majority-wins vote

The Chairman will communicate all committee rulings to the public
Only the Chairman is authorized to issue official committee decisions
