Old Scholars and the Points System
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2015 1:19 pm
We had an interesting situation recently where a club was accused of adding a player to a team sheet whilst they were playing for their school at the same time. As I understand the SFL was refused information due to privacy when they asked for confirmation that the player was indeed participating for their school at the time, I think they were able to dismiss it through other means, however it raised the question of how transparent the schools are regarding games played.
How does this work for the SAAFL in regards to the Old Scholar teams and the APPS system?
6.3 of the APPS regulation says: “Junior Football” means a competition in which players must be over the age of 12 years and under the age of 18 years on a prescribed date in the calendar year in which that competition is conducted and includes the Sports Association for Adelaide Schools (SAAS) secondary school football competition.
6.4: “Junior Player” means a player under the age of 18 years who has played a minimum of 20 games from the year in which he turns 13 years of age with an Affiliated League Club or school affiliate of an Affiliated League Club, with which he is seeking registration.
Do the Old Scholar clubs provide proof that a former student played 20 games? How does the SAAFL gain access to SAAS records? Is there any auditing done to ensure honesty?
