The ALMC have decided that, in the last 4 weeks of the season, if a team wants to play a player down to a lower team, because of the 50% rule, and they are not sure if the player can play for a particular team, they have to submit an SXP. They can ask their ALDS for help on match numbers, but the SXP Committee has the final decision. SXPs must be submitted by 21:00 on the Tuesday prior to the match, to ensure every situation gets a fair assessment.
Selection Exemption Pass Instructions
Clubs wishing to submit a Special Exemption Player (SXP) request must do so via the following form:
https://forms.office.com/r/gSHtcp5xEZ
Before submitting a request, all team captains, managers, and club administrators are strongly advised to read Regulation 8 (Player Eligibility-Team Selection) and Appendix 4 (Player Selection Guidance) of the Adult League Regulations.
Deadlines:
Requests must be submitted by 21:00 on the Tuesday prior to the Saturday fixture they relate to.
Emergency or retrospective requests may be submitted after this deadline, but please note that the ALMC will not approve a retrospective SXP if the issue could reasonably have been raised on time.
Important Notes:
- Ensure the form is completed fully and accurately.
SXPs granted on the basis of inaccurate information will be deemed invalid. - Requests may be rejected if any required information is missing or incomplete.
- Do not field the player requiring an SXP until confirmation has been received.
Selecting the player without approval will result in them being treated as ineligible, in accordance with Adult League Regulations.
