GSFL works on a points system. Works OK
I understand there is a move to get a points system the same across all SANFL affiliated leagues in SA.

Chuck, can you explain why it doesn't help the struggling teams and how it works in practice?

The ones that i know of that don't are the Mallee League and I don't think they have a points system in the various South East leagues either.

APFL has an import rule. I think this works best out of the three systems.

Salary Cap: Too hard to monitor. Would almost be impossible actually.
Points : Confusion, Confusion confusion. From what I've read about there are no provisions for a bloke who has just moved into the district from another league (he may or may not be any good and still attracts the same points even though he is a local). Can only imagine the calculators out around selection table.
Import: Works best in our league. Everyone knows who is new and its not hard to go to electoral office to check address if in doubt. Easier to monitor for opposition clubs than the points system.

Knowing my luck though the league will no doubt change the rules just keep more confusion from within the clubs
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

Pinch, the reason it doesn't work for struggling clubs is it was introduced only a few seasons ago and the RFL drew a line in the sand that year and started all clubs on zero. Clubs that already had imports got them for nothing. Struggling clubs that had none got no advantage. It will even out with time but could take 5-10 years for all those original zero point players to retire or move on.

Our system basically works for guys who have come to the club attract a certain number of points depending on where they have played. You are allowed 14 points on the field each week. Players who played their first junior game at your club and return attract zero, ie Mark Ricciuto when back to waikerie last year and attracted no points. Players who move to the area for work can get an exemption down to sero but this needs to be applied for to the league and is open to opinion. Some players have been exempted (ie coppers, teachers, physios, bakers, bankies) others have not (ie, especially tradies). Guys who have stood out of foooty for a year attract one less point for each year they have not prviously played and if have not played for two consecutive season are exempted regardless of where they have played.

The only gripe I have with it is the exemptions for peoiple transferring for work is too open to opinion - the rest works well and will get better with time once all the original zero players have moved on or retired.

thanks slapper.

it doesn't appear too different in the end to the import system so long as the weightings for a particular type of player and the points allocation for clubs is sound may even be more beneficial to the competition such as the Ricuitio example.

not sure the clubs in the BLG will cope with it they struggle just ensuring players are eligible to play finals.

New WAFL system (130 points for 55 players) was received well and seen a bit move evenness. SF will lose Farmer and Bell soon to retirement and SUB have lost their power to flash the cash they get via Subi Oval and AFL game revenue through having to adhere to a points system. Pretty even outside the 'Four and I would suggest that within 2-3 seasons we will have a pretty even comp with crowds continuing to rise

There is a massive loop hole in the "Imports" way of doing things & that is why most leagues have gone the way of a points system which isn't confusing at all, very simple actually. Like all systems there are pro's & cons, but is it the best way.

Oh yeah, the loop hole- (hope this doesn't give the leagues that have this a heart attack)

A Player can simply purchase a PO Box @ the given teams town & wallah, he LEGALLY is of that address. If a league or opposition club wanted to dispute it, they dont have a leg to stand on if the players club took it further. Believe me have looked into it!!!

Points system the only way to go
