Proposed New rules for Season 2006/2007
Proposed changes to be introduced in Senior Men’s League Rules.
Please download and read 2005/2006 rule from IOHA web.
--ON Season Club to Club player transfer
Currently the only rule is "players are allowed to only one transfer per year". No forms need to be submitted.
Change to "A transfer form need to be submitted signed by the two club secretary and the player"
This in order to have a record or transfers and having all clubs to acknowledge the transfer
Obviously still only one transfer is possible.
--OFF season Club to Club player transfer
Currently no rules exist, and players can freely change team every year.
Change to "Players are owned by the club for the current season and the next".
A transfer form needs to be submitted signed by the two club secretary and the player
This rule will protect clubs. UCD saw three of its players changing team over summer, without any note from the other club or the players themselves.
--Teams are responsible to book hall time for their home matches (minimum of 2 hours per match)
I understand the having my self doing the booking for all matches fro the full year is "handy". But it start getting annoying when I have to chase teams and hall management. Also UCD got charged by St Columbas for matches UCD didn't play and considered responsible for people behaviour.
--Each Team must register two referees
Teams will be penalised of 1 point per referee not registered
Referee individual registration cost 25€...to be paid by the referee.
Referee courses will be organized ad-hoc if required
This is in accordance with the referee development plan
--Each Team must register a Coach (either L0 or L1, or enrolled in a coaching course to be attend before the end of the league)
Teams will be penalised of 2 point if coach is not registered
Over 18 coach individual registration cost 15€...to be paid by the coach.
Under 18 coach individual registration is free.
This is in accordance with the coaching development plan
--Teams will be entered only if not payment to the IOHA are pending. In case of new clubs a brief description of financial status should be submitted.
IOHA reserves to refuse entry if feels that clubs cannot fulfil payment commitment.
A few thousand Euro are still due to the IOHA form the past season. This is unacceptable, and IOHA need to protect itself.
Proposed changes to be introduced by season 2008/2009
--Club not registering a Junior team will have the senior Team penalised of 1 point per each category. (U17-U15-U13)
