Player Registration - 2011-12 Season

Changes for 2011-12 - From the 2003-04 season onwards the Football Association and the Amateur Football Alliance have required that all leagues hold a register of players, and we are now required to monitor and ensure that clubs report players for each game played within the league.

Full-Time League Administration - The Amateur Football Combination uses Full-Time for its League Administration, and this will include Player Registration. Clubs will be required to register all players on Full-Time (emergency registrations are permitted, as long as players are logged within 48 hours of matches being played) and log their team details on Full-Time. All clubs should have team administrators with login details for Full-Time.

Player Information - we need name, address and date of birth for each player. Phone numbers and email addresses are optional, though may help clubs. If you have an FA Player Pass, or know your FA Number (the numbers are the same), please give this as well.

Registering Players with the League - For 2011-12 we are providing clubs with two options for loading players onto Full-Time:-

Please check that players have not been registered already, so we do not create duplicates. Lists of registered players can be found on every fixture page for the team concerned.

Recording Team Details - For each match played, clubs are required within 48 hours of games being played to record the player details on Full-Time. Users will need to log in, click on Results/Stats and Statistics for the team concerned. Most people will find the "Quick Stat Entry" option easiest.

Note that emergency registrations of players may take 48 hours for us to load, so may not be immediately available for match detail recording.

Clubs are required to record details of who started the game, and who was on the bench (used and unused). All other statistics are optional, so if clubs want to record goalscorers, discipline, etc, they may do so. Full details of the stats available is given below.

AFC Rules - failing to register players and log team sheets will leave clubs in breach of rule 8, which leaves clubs liable to fines and/or points deductions, but we are aware of the need for clubs to get used to the system.

Data Protection Act - This information is being collected by the Amateur Football Combination for the purposes of Player Registration and will be made available to the Amateur Football Alliance. It may also be made available to other County Football Associations and to the Football Association. It will not be made available to any external organisations for Commerical Purposes.

Questions? - If you have any questions, please send these initially to Danny McConnell.

Comprehensive Result Sheet - all of this information is in addition to the Comprehensive Result Sheet - this still needs to be submitted in the usual manner (though in the future, we hope Full-Time will be developed so all of that can be recorded directly online as well).

Match Statistics - For those who wish to use the full range of match statistics, the following are all available, and in most cases can be recorded along with the time in the game when they occurred (if required).
