TEAM APP CUP 2017 – ROUND ONE - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Dear Clubs,
Player Registration - Reminder
Clubs must ensure that all players are registered and made active by the Club online through MyFootballClub
prior to participating in their first Team App Cup (TA Cup) fixture. If a player is not registered through MFC
(and made active by the Club) she will be deemed ineligible to participate in any TA Cup Fixtures. Any Club
fielding an ineligible player will forfeit the TA Cup fixture in which the ineligible player participates and will be
excluded from the TA Cup competition in 2017.
Notwithstanding registration of players in accordance with the previous paragraph, the due date for the
payment of all Women’s State League player’s registration fees is 5:00PM Wednesday 19th April 2017.
Players whose registration fees have not been paid by this date will be considered ineligible for further
competitions, including TA Cup, irrespective of whether or not they have registered with the club.
Please note that should a player who registered for a Club move to another Club, the applicable FFA and FFV
fee will remain the responsibility of the first registered Club of the player. Therefore, please ensure that
registered players are committed to the Club or alternatively have paid a deposit to the Club to cover any
fees incurred by the Club.

FFV will be aiming to appoint a Centre referee and two Assistant Referees to all Round One
Fixtures, please ensure your club has reviewed the Match Official Fees prior to the fixture.
Suspended Players - Reminder
Players with carry over suspensions must serve their ‘Remaining Suspension’ in the next applicable fixture(s)
including the TA Cup regardless of the competition in which the suspension was received.
To avoid doubt this does not apply to suspensions received as a result of accumulations of five yellow cards.
Y5, Y10 etc suspensions must be served in the league/competition in which they were received. Any Club
fielding a suspended player will forfeit that TA Cup fixture and be excluded from the competition in 2017.
