5) Discipline (Ian) |
|
|
Ian read the responses from BKA Disciplinary committee to the two complaints made about behaviour towards referees – see attached.
Discussion about the implementation of a system whereby the referees award marks for the behavior of the teams, coaches, spectators for example out of 10 for each category. If each team attains say 60% of the maximum points for the season then they will be award an extra 2 points. If they receive less than 40% then they are deducted 2 points. This system would encourage good discipline by rewarding it and hopefully not place the referees in a difficult situation where one refs decision could influence the outcome of the leagues. Ian to come up with a detailed, specific proposal for the next meeting |

Status Rules Proposal |
Status Rules Criteria
The aim of status rules is to restrict players playing down into lower teams in order to influence match results and thus the outcome of the league divisions.
The criteria for any status rules are :-
- need to be objective and not subjective
- not require lots of work to implement i.e. no requirement for frequent emails, information processing, declarations etc.
- not require scorecards to be processed quickly very often i.e.
team
selections for a match generally don't depend on immediately preceding
league matches - be independent of the number of league matches per team and thus the league structure
- apply fairly and equally to all clubs, teams and players, for all league matches of the season
- should be no restrictions on a club’s 1st team selection
Status Rules Proposal
Background
These proposed status rules are based on the former status rules that were replaced by the squad list rules, with come important modifications so that they meet the above criteria.
The former rules used matches played as the basis for mathematically calculating individual player status. 2nd and lower team selections were then restricted in their composition of players with particular status.
Player Status
- The league season will be split into 3 equal parts – ‘status periods’. Player status will be calculated and may change on defined, publicised dates at the start/end of each part of the season.
- Players status is calculated over the last 6 1st team matches and the last 6 National League matches, this may mean some matches are included in more than one status period.
- At the start of the season, the last 6 1st team matches and the last 6 National League matches from the previous season are used.
- The number of 1st team matches played by each player (G1) and the number of National League matches played by each player (GNL) are counted. This information is already available on the CKA web site, on the ‘Goals over Season’ page.
- If GNL + G1 is greater than 3 i.e. the player has played more than half of the 6 matches in a period at 1st team level, then that player will have ‘1st team’ status.
- If GNL + G1 is greater than 2 i.e. the player has played some, but less than half of the 6 matches in a period at 1st team level, then that player will have ‘2nd team’ status.
Team Composition Rules
- 1st team status players will only be allowed to play for a club’s 1st or 2nd teams
- Up to 2 1st team status players will be allowed to play at once for a club’s 2nd team.
- 2nd team status players will only be allowed to play for a club’s 1st, 2nd or 3rd teams
- Up to 2 2nd team status players will be allowed to play at once for a club’s 3rd team.
Possible extension
With clubs having more teams than when the original status rules were written, it may be desirable to have a 3rd level of status and restrictions on these players. This could be done with the following additional rules :-
Player Status
- Players status is also calculated over the last 6 2nd team matches
- The number of 2nd team matches played by each player (G2) is counted. This information is already available on the CKA web site, on the ‘Goals over Season’ page.
- If GNL + G1 + G2 is greater than 3 i.e. the player has played more than half of the 6 matches in a period at 1st or 2nd team level, then that player will have 2nd team status, unless GNL + G1 is greater than 3 in which case they will have 1st team status.
- If GNL + G1 + G2 is greater than 2 i.e. the player has played some, but less than half of the 6 matches in a period at 1st or 2nd team level, then that player will have ‘3rd team’ status.
Team Composition Rules
- 3rd team status players will only be allowed to play for a club’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th teams
- Up to 2 3rd team status players will be allowed to play at once for a club’s 4th team.
