5) Discipline (Ian)

Ian read the responses from BKA Disciplinary committee to the two complaints made about behaviour towards referees – see attached.

 

Discussion about the implementation of a system whereby the referees award marks for the behavior of the teams, coaches, spectators for example out of 10 for each category. If each team attains say 60% of the maximum points for the season then they will be award an extra 2 points. If they receive less than 40% then they are deducted 2 points. This  system would encourage good discipline by rewarding it and hopefully not place the referees in a difficult situation where one refs decision could influence the outcome of the leagues.

Ian to come up with a detailed, specific proposal for the next meeting

AOB:

Laura proposed that halls are booked for 1 hour and 15 minutes for
each league game to allow teams to have a full 10 minutes warm up and still be able to play a full hour game.

5 Minutes of warm up is already allowed and captains can ask the referee for this, if the referee doesn’t give it anyway.

 

Scott wants clubs to provide volunteers to help out with his new club Mercury’s training, Mondays 9-10 pm at Hills Road.

Scott to email club chairmen.

 

Howard asked Andy to send out an email to referees and players about the new Korfball rules.

Andy offered to come to the training sessions of clubs to demonstrate the
new rules.

Status Rules Proposal

Status Rules Criteria

The aim of status rules is to restrict players playing down into lower teams in order to influence match results and thus the outcome of the league divisions.

 

The criteria for any status rules are :-

 

Status Rules Proposal

Background

These proposed status rules are based on the former status rules that were replaced by the squad list rules, with come important modifications so that they meet the above criteria.

The former rules used matches played as the basis for mathematically calculating individual player status. 2nd and lower team selections were then restricted in their composition of players with particular status.

 

Player Status

 

Team Composition Rules

 

Possible extension

With clubs having more teams than when the original status rules were written, it may be desirable to have a 3rd level of status and restrictions on these players. This could be done with the following additional rules :-

Team Composition Rules
