Objective
Objective
The DFA Player Points System (PPS) Policy committee believes that equalisation of community football competition is vital for community football.
Even and fair competitions lead to interest, which leads to bigger crowds, which leads to stronger clubs and competitions. Even competitions allow supporters and club volunteers the chance to turn up on any given match day with the knowledge that the outcome of the game is uncertain, and that their team is a chance of winning. The mindset motivates people to become and remain engaged with their community club and provides rewards and recognition to all those that assist in putting a team out on the field.
The philosophy of competition equalisation is accepted in sports all around the world. Professional sporting bodies have accepted practices such as drafts, salary caps, FIFA Fair Play, and the like, in order to help competitions ensure competitiveness and club sustainability.
The objectives of the DFA PPS Policy are as follows, to -
1 support equalisation of community football competitions;
2 ensure teams fielded in the competitions are strong and as equally matched as possible;
3 provide the best opportunities for players to develop and display their skills;
4 provide opportunities to compete at a community level in an orderly and fair system;
5 enable team spirit and public support;
6 encourage community and corporate sponsorships of community clubs;
7 reduce the inflationary nature of player payments to assist clubs survive financially and reduce financial burden/stress on clubs;
8 promote player loyalty and junior development;
9 support the role if volunteers undertake in managing their clubs by:
- minimising the need to fundraise for player payments
- providing a more competitive environment on field, that encourages more volunteers to support at club level
- providing incentive to spend more time and effort in the development of football, a welcoming club environment and growing the game within the local community
