Player list

 Fig. 17: Filled player list

One official of each team must complete his team's player list before the match. Both, the jersey number of each player and at least the surname must be noted. If there are two players in a team with the same surname, the first letter(s) of the first name must be added until a clear distinction is possible. All players who want to take part in the match must appear in the player list.

The team captain of each team is marked by circling his number.
