Sal’s NBL Rules Explained: Transfer Window

The Sal's NBL wants to ensure fans are kept up to date with the rules that govern the competition, hopefully helping fans to get closer to the game and gain a greater understanding of the rules and regulations all the teams have to abide by.

Season 2020 in the Sal's NBL will see the introduction of a Transfer Window.

While players have been able to move from one team to another during the season in past years, in 2020 the rules have become more defined and clearer.

Also, unlike previous years, no longer does a player have to 'stand down' from playing for a certain number of days if they do transfer to a new team.

Both the men's and women's competitions have a Transfer Window. Here's how it works;
