Article 17 from the Northumberland Baseball Association Policies and Procedures Manual

ARTICLE 17 – RELEASES
 
The Northumberland Baseball Association is not mandated to release any player. The Northumberland Baseball Association encourages residents located within our organization’s boundaries to play for the Northumberland Baseball Association.
 
All release requests will be considered at the next scheduled board meeting of the Northumberland Baseball Association and will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
 
A. Appeal Process
 
If a player requests a release from the Northumberland Baseball Association and is denied the release, they can appeal that decision to our affiliate, the EOBA. If the EOBA upholds the decision of the NBA, the player may then appeal to Baseball Ontario.
