Season Permit & Transfers - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a Season Permit? 

• The Season Permits feature allows a player to participate for additional clubs in a competition season over a date range. If initiated by a club admin, it can also allow players to play for an additional competition season without needing to register.

What is the eligibility criteria for a season permit request? 

• Participants can also create a season permit request and also requires approval from the destination club, source club, source association and destination association before the player is able to participate.

What happens when a season permit is created?

• Once approved, a season permit creates a participation record in the destination club’s season participant list, giving them and their association access to the participant’s profile.

  This allows them to add the player to a game within the Admin Portal and Electronic Scoring applications and view and update custom fields for the season participation record.

  Permitted players will also show up in the destination organisation participation report.

See below Transfers FAQs. 

What is a transfer request?

• A transfer request is a request for a player to register to a new club. Transfers can be initiated by:

  • A player, during registration to their intended new club or
  • A club administrator, from the Administration Portal.

  Transfers require the approval of the player’s current and new club, and their association before the player can complete their registration to their new club.

When is a transfer required?

• A transfer request is only required if all of the following conditions are met:

  • A player is registering to a club, or a club administrator has initiated the player transfer.
  • The player’s last club registration within the competition being registered to was to a different club; and
  • The competition being registered to has transfers enabled.

  Transfer requests are never required for coach or team manager registrations, for independent (non-club) registrations, for the first registration within a competition, for subsequent registrations to the same club within a competition, for registrations to a different competition run by the same association, or for registrations to a different association.

Who approves a transfer request?

• Transfer requests must be approved by the following organisations in order for the player to register to their new club:

  1. The player’s current club
  2. The association running the competition that the player is transferring within
  3. The player’s new club
