By-laws QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
These are the common questions and issues that typically arise throughout the year, summarised in dot point. For the full rulings please refer to the SCCF By-Laws
- Players must be registered before they take the field
- Register online, you will get a confirmation email when successful
- Playing unregistered will incur a 3-0 forfeit and monetary fine.
By-laws 1.A. (page 5) & 8.B (page 11)
Player Age Eligibility
- Minimum age: As of the 31st of December, the preceding year, men must be at least 15yo and women 13yo to play in the senior competitions and 35yo to play in Over 35s.
- Players may play in a higher division for the same club. Players may not play in another team in their own division. The Senior competition is considered higher than Over 35s, so a player registered in Over 35s may play in Seniors however a player registered in Seniors may not play in Over 35s even if they meet age eligibility.
By-law 1.B. (page 5)
Arriving Late
- Players must sign on the team sheet before entering the field of play. Failure to do so may result in a 3-0 forfeit and monetary fine. You may arrive at any time during the game.
By-laws 2.C. (page 7) & 8.B (page 11)
Catch Up Games & Washouts
- Any games that are washed out or cancelled will be replayed wherever possible however this will be dependent on a range of factors such as field/referee availability, number of weeks left in the season and structure of the competition. We plan for wet weather weeks and typically replay them all.
By-law 7.A. (page 10)
Fixture Alteration Requests
- A proposal to change times, dates or venues of any game must be received in writing by SCCSA administration at least 14 days prior to the original advertised time.
By-law 7.B. (page 10)
Forfeits
- If a team decides to forfeit but play a friendly they will be recorded as losing 3-0 and share the
match fees with the other team as normal.
- If a team forfeits but does not play they will be recorded as losing 10-0
- If a team notifies the office of a forfeit by 12 noon on match day no match fees will be charged, if
after 12noon they will be responsible for the match fees of both teams.
By-law 7.C. (page 10)
Sanction Appeals & Red Cards
- You cannot appeal a one game ban however not every red card attracts a suspension period.
- To appeal you must write to admin@sccsa.org.au within 48 hours (2 days) and pay appeal bond of $150.
- The committee will then arrange an appeals tribunal. If the appeal is successful, the $150 will be
refunded.
- A scheduled bye, washout or rescheduled match does not count as suspension served. A forfeit (either team) does count as suspension served.
By-Laws 10.B (page 13) & 9.B (page 12)
Complaints
- Minor grievances should be directed first to the club concerned. Refer the matter to the SCCF Committee if not satisfied with the club's response - contact details are on the webpage.
- Serious or formal complaints should follow the SCCSA complaints procedure outline on the webpage.
