Guest play NPL / DPL

I'd be curious to see the reference for the assertion above. My understanding from my son's club's NPL team is that as long as someone has a player card registered with the club, they can guest on the NPL team, at least during the regular season (unsure about tournament or playoff rules). That is, I do not believe they need to be registered as an "NPL player" (whatever that means).
I couldn't find any NPL rules information online which has that restriction, so curious about the reference.

I meant registered, not restored.
I see Sigma has chimed in and the more the marrier. First off, fuck the rules. Rules are made to be broken, especially in youth soccer. The Docs & coaches always break their own rules. Good luck and always be real bro.
Let's keep this thread on topic Sigma. Don't go off the rails. If I make an example of a touchy subject like being forced to take the _ _ _ _ or face the consequences, don't respond. Skip over what I write or just ignore me man. I'm not a threat. I am unclean leper living in the hills, chained to a tree because I'm dirty and not worthy of being in your company or all the others just like you. It's your oyster, I sorry for being unclean and a danger to everyone. Don't respond or give me attention and all will go well for this OP. If you fail, Dom will have no choice but to take this into the kitchen.
"**NO players FROM Leagues OUTSIDE OF SOCAL MAY CLUB PASS TO SOCAL TEAMS
REGARDLESS OF THE League THEY ARE PLAYING IN. All players participating in SOCAL
games MUST have US Club SOCCER PLAYER CARDS indicating the player participates in the SOCAL
League. ECNL/ECRL player cards are NOT valid in the SOCAL League.
A player's PRIMARY team MUST be a SOCAL team. If a player plays on a few occasions (less
than 50% of outside league team’s games) on an outside league team they may, but the PRIMARY
team MUST be the SOCAL team."

Saw a F2 atlante team dress an encl player multiple times this season.
Sporting California actually got caught playing an ECNL player in NPL.
A couple years back SD Force played half of their DPL team in Socal at Flight 2, didn't get caught.

I’m curious if only Atlante would get in trouble or if rebels would also since it was their player
I'm certainly not well versed in the various league registrations, lol.
I know that there are clubs with ECNL teams and Socal League teams, and I believe ECNL players can guest on other teams, but unsure what the requirements are. For example, for tournaments, I don't know if there's a strong distinction. I don't know if players can be registered in multiple leagues, for example; the various sites seem to suggest this is normal. I think the above is saying that (for example) if a player was only registered in ECNL but not in Socal, then they could not guest for a Socal league match, and to guest they would need to present a Socal player card.
It looks like I'm going to be recruited to be a team manager for next season, so I'm sure I'll need to learn all about this soon, but I'm woefully uninformed at this point; sorry.
