AFDA Fees

The AFDA (Australian Flying Disc Association) is the National body for disc (frisbee) sports, which provides us with insurance cover. As a result, each event that you play in includes AFDA fees to cover the costs of insurance, plus other benefits. The AFDA has recently (March 2006) increased the AFDA fees per game of league from 75 cents to $1, and these AFDA fees are included in the total league fee payable by each player in the table below.

Summer league costs and how to pay

The cost per player for the Manly Social League 2010 is as follows:

• In order to prove that an EFT payment has been made, players will need to email, or give to, their divisional commissioner, a copy of their receipt. Without a receipt, payment will be considered NOT to have occurred and players will need to repay before playing. The onus is strictly upon players and captains to ensure that documentation is provided.
• EFT Payments can be made over the Internet or at any St George Bank Branch. Players should ensure that the transactions they make have sufficient details attached to them that the payment can be easily located by the relevant divisional commissioner. An example of this would be: John Smith paying $55.00 for his individual league fees in Team Z - "JSmith-TeamZ". All Manly Frisbee League payments should be made to the Manly Ultimate Frisbee League account IMPORTANT: Include your AFDA number and last name in the EFT details
• Please note that any players who make payments into incorrect accounts (including AFDA held accounts) will need to seek refunds for themselves from the relevant account holders. The Manly Frisbee League will not be held responsible for player payments made to incorrect accounts.

Team compositions

No more than two worlds class players per team on the team roster, and/or five nationals level players (NB: A nationals level player is considered to be anyone who has played at nationals in the last two years. Worlds players count towards this five player limit.)

Any enquiries about a players 'status' can be directed to the commissioners

League rules

1. All teams are required to have a captain who is in charge of ensuring their players have paid before the start of league. Captains must also email their results to the League Commissioner at the end of each week. If the captain is not there, he/she must elect a replacement to do this.
2. All teams are required to play with a 3 women/4 men (3W/4M) split unless the captains previously agree otherwise. Teams may play with 4W/3M, but the opposing team is under no obligation to match.
3. Each team is responsible for keeping a scoresheet each week. Captains can print scoresheets from the web each week.
4. At the end of their game, each team must return their completed scoresheet to their division commissioner. If they forget to do so, they must email that commissioner the next day with their spirit and game scores by 5pm. Any team failing to do so is liable to forfeit that game.
5. If a team is found to have tampered with their score sheet for any reason, they will receive no points from that match. A second offence will see that team removed from the competition.
6. Pick up players are allowed, but they must sign on as would other members of that team. They must also have their name initialled by the opposing team captain to indicate that the pick up has been approved.
7. Once a player registers for a team, they are not a pick up and must pay before playing with that or any other team in that division.
8. A pick up player must be a registered AFDA member.
9. A pick up may play twice in a division with any team without paying. However, they must pay league fees before playing their third game in that division, otherwise the team they play with will forfeit. (Please see the Manly Frisbee League Rules page for "International Pick-Up Players). League Commissioners will do their best to advise team captains when players have played 2 matches in a division, but the onus rests strictly on captains to check with pick-ups how many games they have played.
10. Teams can be forfeited if less than five people are on the line five minutes after the whistle starting the game has been blown. This will be enforced at the commissioner's discretion.
11. When the time cap goes, teams are allowed to play out the point.
12. Players must play at least 3 games for a team to be eligible to play for that team in the finals.
13. "Commissioners' discretion" can be applied where extenuating circumstances can be shown.
