Points System

Purpose:

The purpose of the player points system in the CMFL is to promote an even competition.

 

Objectives:

  1. Encourage clubs to develop and promote their junior teams and players.

  2. Encourage clubs to recruit new players from outside the CMFL.

  3. Better manage increasing player payments and improve the financial stability of clubs.

 

The Board has determined the following:

The total points of each club should be reduced by 2 points in 2008 and a further one point in 2009.

A player (not deemed a reserves player) recruited from another CMFL Club becomes a 7 point player for all recruits after 2007.

The winner of the Grand Final is penalized 2 points for the following year, regaining 1 point each subsequent year until the penalty is removed - Starting with the 2007 Grand Final.

The Runner-Up of the Grand Final is penalized 1 point in the following year. Starting with the 2007 Grand Final.

Appealing the Board’s decision on the points allocated – the process where Clubs wish to challenge the points allocated to a player by the League has been adjusted to allow for appeals to the CMFL Independent Tribunal.

The Process is as follows:

Step 1: Player’s points rating is set by Points Review Panel consisting of 2 Board members, League Manager and League Clearance Secretary

Step 2: If a Club believes the points allocated are not correct, fair or reasonable it then asks for a review of the decision by the full CMFL Board.

Step 3: If the original decision is confirmed by the Board the Club can now appeal to the Independent Tribunal

 

The definition of what constitutes a one point player has been amended. From 2008 a player coming from the Juniors is a one point player for the CMFL Club at which he played his first season of U15s. For all other CMFL Clubs he will be a seven point player.

 

If a player comes to a CMFL Club from outside the Juniors and is eligible for Colts he is a one point player for the Club at which he played his first Colts game. For any other CMFL club he will be a seven point player.
