GOVERNANCE

safeguarding the game

 

The BADSFL will adopt the procedure detailed in the Football Debt Recovery Memorandum

to collect debts apportioned against clubs and individuals in the event the club fails to pay.

 

SECTION ONE

NCFA & SCFA PLAYER SUSPENSIONS

 

The practice of publishing list of players registered with the BADSFL who are currently serving Sine Die and/or Match Based and Set Period suspensions imposed by the County Football Associations, which means they are not allowed to play in the Breckland and District Sunday Football League matches during the period shown, has been re-introduced. The League Registration Secretary regularly checks the updated suspension lists published weekly on the County FA’s website. You are strongly advised to access the NCFA/SCFA websites, via the home page, to view the suspension lists which are updated weekly during the, and until the end, of season. Period suspensions are not published in separate leagues but as one list in alphabetical order. You will note that this list includes players who received suspensions having been dismissed from the field of play in County Cup matches. You may also note that some players are suspended for a Period and Sine Die. The Sine Die suspension is mainly because the owe money to the County FA, a League or a Club.

 

Important Note

There may be players/officials suspended who are not included on the list. If you are in any doubt please contact the County FA Headquarters to check this information.

 

Remember

It is the responsibility of each club to check the County Lists prior to the start of, and during the season and ensure they do not register or play players under suspension.

 

SECTION TWO

BADSFL DISCIPLINE

 

The practice of publishing details of fines imposed on individual clubs, officials and players for breaches of rules is to cease. It will be replaced by publishing the total monthly amount imposed for breaches of rules following the monthly Management Committee Meeting on the NEWS page.

 

When a club, club official or player is dealt by the BADSFL Disciplinary Commission cases must be dealt with on their merits and a punishment awarded consistent with the overall nature and effect of the offence(s). Also the previous record of misconduct over the current and previous two seasons will be taken into account.
