[4.1.2.2 Player restrictions for the first status period of the season are based upon the last 5 matches of the previous season excluding matches involving Development Teams, matches which do not take place e.g. walkovers due to late or non-attendance and matches which are abandoned and the score doesn't stand. Matches which are walkovers due to ineligible players are included.]

4.1.2.3 Player status is calculated over the last 6 SERL
{, last}[ and] 5 1st and{ last 5} 2nd team matches, excluding matches involving Development Teams, matches which do not take place (e.g. walkovers due to late or non-attendance) and matches which are abandoned and the score doesn't stand. {Player restrictions for the first status period of the season are based upon matches of the previous season. }Matches which are walkovers due to ineligible players are included. This may mean some matches are included in more than one status period.

4.1.2.5 A player is given 2 status points for every quarter of a
[first]{1st} team match played, and 1 status point for every quarter of a [second]{2nd} team match played. Therefore a player can get a maximum of 8 status points for playing a full [first]{1st} team match, or a maximum of 4 status points for playing a full [second]{2nd} team match.

{4.1.2.x For clubs with SERL teams, for the first status period of the season, male and female players who have started 4 or more SERL matches are separately ranked by the number of SERL matches started, followed by all other male and female players separately ranked by number of 1st team status points. The 4 highest ranking male players and 4 highest ranking female players from each club will have 1st team status. The next 3 male players and next 3 female players from each club separately ranked by 1st team status points plus 2nd team status points will have 2nd team status.}

4.1.2.7
{For clubs without SERL teams, for all status periods, and for clubs with SERL teams, for the second and third status periods, }the [three]{3} male players and [three]{3} female players from each club with the highest total of 1st team status points will have 1st team status. The next 3 male players and {next }3 female players from each club[,] with the highest total of 1st team [and]{plus} 2nd team status points will have 2nd team status.

4.1.2.8 Where
[two]{2} or more players are tied on the same number of status points{ or SERL matches started}, the club must decide which of the tied player(s) will have which team status. The club must choose and inform the results officer before their next match or within 2 weeks, whichever is sooner. This choice will be final. If a team does not choose within the time limit the the following 3 CKA Officers : Fixtures Officer, Results Officer and Chair (the 'league sub-committee') will agree upon a choice for the club.

4.1.2.9
[I]{For clubs with SERL teams for the second and third status periods i}f the player [starts]{has started} 4 or more SERL matches then that player will have SERL status. SERL status has the same effect as 1st team status. A player may have SERL status in addition to 1st team or 2nd team status. SERL status takes precedence over 1st team and 2nd team statuses.
