Here you go. Full document is on the SFL website under documents/forms:
JUNIORS UNDER AGE COMPETITIONS
i) All Clubs participating in the Sunday competitions is to nominate their best top ten players of their Saturday under 14’s & under 16’s teams. Players nominated as the best top ten players in the Saturday under 14’s & under 16’s teams will be able to play in the Sunday Colts competition until the end of the minor round. Top ten nominations to be lodged at the League Office no later than 1st June in that year. The nominated best top ten players will be ineligible to play in the Sunday Colt finals series within their Sunday age group. (i.e. Under 14’s or Under 16’s)
ii) Players, to play in both Saturday and Sunday finals (but have not been nominate in the top ten players of the Saturday under age grade) must have played a minimum of 6 games in both competition to qualify to play. (i.e. players must have 6 qualifying games in the Saturday Under 14’s team, plus a further 6 qualifying games in the Sunday Under 14’s competition).
iii) This does not preclude players from playing in a higher age group, but that player must have a minimum of 6 qualifying club junior minor round matches.
If a player in the players age group qualifies with six matches only for the Sunday competition (i.e. Under 14’s) then that player can play in his age group (i.e. Under 14’s) of the Sunday Colt finals only, but that player would not be eligible to play in the players age group of the Saturday Colts finals, and vice versa Saturday to Sunday finals qualifications.
iv) The restriction, of 11 or more games played by players on Saturday making them ineligible to play in the Sunday Colts competition finals may not apply pending on Colts meeting held in March of each year, of Clubs participating in the Sunday Under 14 & Under 16 competitions.
v) Under 12’s Mini League players can play up in the under 14 finals series in either competition (providing permission has been given by parents & the player), and that the Under 12 players have qualified with (6) Under 12 games during the minor round.
vi) These Under 12 Mini League players must be currently registered with the League as a club player.
