Rulings in relation to additional registrations and deregistrations

1. Additional Registrations can be lodged at any time. The “received” date of additional registrations is the date it has been emailed to the Chairman of the Match & Permit Committee. If additional registrations are received after the closing date, they will not be accepted.

2. Once received, additional registrations will be automatically accepted on the following conditions:
(a) An additional registration will not be considered if it will increase the total number of registered players in a Ladies/Mens team to more than 8 players, or more than 6 players of the same gender in a Mixed team. In such cases, a deregistration is required.
(b) They will be checked immediately by the Chairman of the Match & Permit Committee against records, and if any player is obviously too strong for the grade, registration will be refused and the Club notified immediately; or
(c) During the time that matches are played, if the player is deemed to be too strong, the Match & Permit Committee will revoke the registration and the Club will be immediately notified, with no penalty attached, unless the player is obviously too strong for the grade, in which case there will be a loss of games for the last match played.

3. If an additional registration is refused or revoked:
(a) The Club may apply to additionally register the player in a higher grade; and
(b) All matches already played count as emergency matches. Penalties will apply if a player plays for a fourth time as an emergency after the additional registration has been refused or revoked, even if the fourth match is in a higher grade.
(c) If a player plays again in the same team after an additional registration has been refused, the penalty will be loss of games.

4. Appeals
(a) An appeal against the refusal of an additional registration or a decision that a player is “too strong” for a particular team, must be lodged within 10 calendar days of the Club being advised of the decision. Appeals lodged outside this timeframe will not be considered.
(b) Once an appeal has been lodged, the player concerned cannot play again in any team without the permission of the Chairman of the Match and Permit Committee until the appeal has been decided by the Committee.
(c) If the player does play in a higher team:
(i) The “protest” will automatically lapse and the original decision upheld; and
(ii) Normal penalties will be imposed (if necessary) i.e. 4th time emergency etc.

5. If a player is deregistered once the season has commenced, he/she cannot play for the team for the remainder of the season.
(a) Once submitted, a deregistration cannot be cancelled. Penalty for playing in that particular team after deregistration is a loss of games.
(b) The player remains locked into the Club concerned for the remainder of the season and cannot play for another Club.
(c) The player concerned can, however, be additionally registered in a higher team or play in a higher team as an emergency player.

6. If a player is deregistered prior to the season commencing, the player is a "free agent", and if he/she wishes to play for the same Club in another team, or for a different Club, the Club must put in an additional registration form.
