Player Points Category
Player Points Category
5.1
A player's category and the subsequent player points allocation will be determined by that player's player history and achievements and is structured in a way to promote player retention and loyalty.
5.2 Each player expected to play in the senior team of community club will be allocated a category and a player points allocation as follows -
5.2.1 Category
1 - Home Player - 1 Point
A a player who has played only at the community club and for no other community club; or
B a player who has not played competitive football in the previous 36 months.
5.3 If a player does not meet the Category 1 'home player' eligibility above, their points category will be assessed based on the highest playing level achieved in the following categories:
5.3.1 Category
6 - AFL Player - 5 Points
A player who has played a minimum of one AFL game in any of the previous three (3) seasons.
For all other ex AFL players if they are currently playing for another club and transfer to the DFA for games then they shall be assessed on their past three (3) seasons like any other player.
If they have not played in the past three (3) seasons, then clubs must apply to the PPSC for them to be rated.
5.3.2 Category
5 - State League Tier One - 4 Points
Player who has played a minimum of 5 senior games of VFL, WAFL, or SANFL in the current season or any of the previous three (3) seasons.
For example, a player would not qualify in this category for the 2016 season if that player has played as follows in the previous three (3) seasons:
Season 2015 - 4 games
Season 2014 - 3 games
Season 2013 - 2 games
However, a player would qualify in this category for the 2016 season if that player had played as follows in the previous three (3) seasons:
Season 2015 - 0 games
Season 2014 - 6 games
Season 2013 - 2 games; or
Season 2015 - 5 games
Season 2014 - 0 games
Season 2013 - 0 games
NOTE: where a category refers to "a minimum of 5 games in any of the previous 3 seasons", the above calculation example will apply.
5.3.3 Category
4 - TAC Cup or 2nd tier State Player - NWFL, NTFA, SFL player - 3 Points
5.3.4 Category
3 - Senior Community Player and Transferred Junior Player - 3 Points
A senior community player - who has played the same number or more senior games than reserves games in any of the previous three (3) seasons at community football level; this includes -
- TSL development league players who do not meet Category 4 eligibility (ie - who haven't played the minimum of 5 senior TSL games in any of the current or previous 3 seasons); or
- a player from any of the interstate community league competitions including the Northern Territory Football League.
B transferred Junior - a player who has recruited from an U18's competition and who does not meet Category 1 eligibility.
5.3.5 Category
2 - NWFL Reserves NWFA DFA CHFA Seniors - 2 Points
5.4 A community club that has a player that does not meet any of the above player categories will need to apply to the DFA PPSC to determine the appropriate Player Points Allocation. In determining the Player Points Allocation, the PPSC will have regard to all relevant factors so as not to unreasonably restrict the player's movement between community clubs or a player's opportunity to play football at a club of their choice.
5.5 For the purpose of a Player Points Allocation, a playing coach or playing assistant coach is classified as a player and will be assessed under the above categories.
5.6 A player playing on an Interchange Agreement as detailed at clause 3.9 of the National Player Transfer Regulations (ie - a permit player) will be assessed on the same basis as transferred players.
5.7 Where a player qualifies in more than one category based on their playing history in the current season or any of the previous 3 seasons, the category with the highest points will apply, hence the use of the flow chart in appendix 12.3 (Category 1 - Home Players are excluded).
