PLAYING CONDITIONS CORRESPONDENCE PRODECURE
1. The Business Administrator where possible will issue a warning letter to the Club and Player when three infringements have occurred against a player.
2. When a player is suspended the Business Administrator will issue a letter to the Club. It is the Clubs reponsilbility to inform the player of the suspension.
3. The GSABA Bylaw covering this:
11. Correspondence
(b) GSABA Correspondence is to be communicated to the Clubs and the Clubs are responsible to ensure their Club Members fulfil their obligations.
These changes have been in place for a couple of years and now with changes in criteria for Unsportsmanlike Fouls it is much easier for a player to receive an Unsportsmanlike Foul under the rules.
These are the current rules and they have to be administered.
