Card checks - What do we think

[de niro]

for those that can read-


What the competition operating guidelines say:

12.2 It is the responsibility of the club to ensure that all registered players have been issued a Player Registration Card.


What the competition operating guidelines say:
1. All players must have a Player Registration Card to compete in any FFSA Sanctioned
competitive game.
2. A team may request to view the Player Registration Cards of another team at least 15 minutes
prior to the commencement of a game, all cards must be presented. If a player’s registration
card cannot be provided, the player is not permitted to play.


One reason for clubs asking for a card check is that players who are playing up or down will have forgotten their card and won't be able to play, or they've raced from one ground to another to fill teams for their club and can't get to the ground by the 15minutes prior to kick-off when the card check occurs, thus making the team weaker. Nothing to do with development, sportsmanship or being age-appropriate.

Suggest you re-check your operating guidelines. Section 12 of the Junior Comp Rules updated Nov 2012 no longer includes that clause that gave the right to view Player Registration Cards.

Overseas in Bulgaria before every junior game the ref checks the cards. Both teams line up and every player holds his own card so I think here should be done the same way. If the player don't have a photo card he is not playing no excuses I forgot mine or anything else next time will remember to have one. I don't even know why they bother with cards here when they r useless.

Agreed

So basically any junior team can play any body they like? If it was suggested to play an overage player at our club there would be a mutiny it would never happen.

surprise no need to travel (unless you want a holiday ) E&D still do it as a surprise anytime the ref calls for the cards or coaches qualifications must be presented or no play and coaches can ask to see the opposition prior to game start.

You'd better check the December 2012 version on the ffsa website.
