My original question was partially answered by "juggler-ga" on
02-27-03.

The reason "juggler-ga's" answer is only "partial", is because it does
not accurately address the situation; i.e., "That the original
15-player regular season varsity roster can be (is) augmented by 5-10
additional players from
junior varsity and even lower levels, who, for CIF Sectional and State
Championship games, don varsity uniforms, sit on the varsity bench and
enter games to play, and even score, despite the fact that all 15
regular-season varsity players have appeared in the same game and some
might even be on the floor in combination with lower-level players
during the game. Meaning, that as many as 20, or more, players from
one, or both teams may have been involved in the same game."

Will someone please address this situation in detail, citing any CIF
regualtion allowing the expansion beyond 15 players.

Thanks,

I'm sorry that my earlier answer did not meed your needs. However, I
must disagree with your assertion that my answer was "partial" or
somehow inaccurate.

Your earlier question was, and I quote:

"So, the question: What is the roster size for varsity teams in the
CIF Sectional and State Championship Playoffs?
http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=168114

The roster size for varsity teams in the CIF Sectional and State
Championship Playoffs is 15 players. This is fully documented on
cifstate.org

"Squad size is limited to 15 players in uniform, one head coach, two
assistant coaches, and one trainer."
