I view "participants" as being the equivalent of "players."

I was quoting the NCAAW book, since that's what we use here in NYS for girl's basketball.

Is there a definition of "participant" in the NFHS rulebook?

"Participant" is not defined , but there are several cases where a team member has illegal equipment (e.g., jewelry) and the ruling is to the effect of "there is no T; A1 simply cannot participate until the illegal item is removed."
