(ii) It is recommended, in order to reduce the possibility of sanctions that ALL player registrations are submitted (with accompanying documentation where stipulated) and those registrations have been accepted, before any player participates in any match. It is also recommended that no player born outside of the UK plays until their registration has been accepted by the Player Registrar, unless the club are in possession of documentation which shows the player’s entitlement to them being registered under Category 1, and this documentation is sent to the Player Registrar no later than midnight on the day of the match. Clubs should be aware that it may not be possible to contact the Player Registrar with any queries relating to player registration after 3 hours before the scheduled start time. If any club is unsure about the status of any player or has any queries, the player should not play.
