General Championship Information

The playing rules and policies for the State and Country Championships can be accessed under the Documents tab and all Associations must make themselves aware of these. Click on these links if you cannot open the tab. Playing Rules : Policies.

There is a Championship Information Sheet for Association Officials under the Documents tab which can also be accessed by clicking on this link. The main points are also re-iterated below.

Signed off team registration forms including the players' shirt numbers, names and FFA registration numbers must be lodged at the Administration Office 1 hour before a team's first game. The registration form will double as a master team sheet and individual team sheets do not have to be filled out for each game. Players must retain the same shirt number throughout the Championships and if a goalie is changed before or during a game the referee must be notified.

Each Association must nominate a person on the first morning to sit on a Disciplinary Tribunal if required.

Programs for the teams can be collected by the team manager at the Administrion Office on the first day. Each Association will be allocated a pitch to tidy up at the end of each day and to remove the flags and nets at the end of the games on day 3. An Association official must obtain this information from the Administration Office on the first morning.

Any complaint, query or request to the Administration must come through the Association delegate and not from team officials or parents.

The FFSA Referees Branch cannot guarantee that they will be able to supply assistant referees' for the Championships. Please ensure that each of your teams has a person available to act as a linesperson.

Could each team please ensure that your team manager or other nominated team official wears a coloured vest or bib to identify them as a team steward for the referee to approach if (s)he needs to relay requests or information during a game.
Each team and coach should remain within the designated technical areas during a game. If a technical area is not marked both teams should be on the same side of the pitch as directed by the referee and remain within an imaginary box 7m x 5m either side of the halfway line.

Special Notice

Approaches to players by Clubs or non FSA Talent ID representatives at Championship events

“All approaches to players and the promotion of Individual Clubs or State Representative Teams or other Development Activities or Clinics is banned at the State and Country Championships unless it is undertaken by accredited FSA Representatives. In the past these activities have caused confusion as to the bona fides of representatives and the purpose behind the approach. Allowing these activities could give arise to accusations of endorsement or bias or favouritism by the SAJSA. Approaches to players and the distribution of promotional material of any kind will only be allowed by the accredited FSA representatives at the Championships who will be clearly identified by their FSA  attire.”
