This year there is a
change to the player registration procedure. Every player will need to be
fully registered before playing. This requires the submission of a copy of
the players ID card/Passport and a Passport photo. Submission can either be
made electronically through the Team Admin section of this website by
sending scanned copies of the photo and ID, or by providing paper copies of
the ID and a passport photo.
All players will be issued with an official league ID card, and must produce
this card upon the referees or opposing teams request. It is suggested that
the team manager keep all the ID cards together for this purpose. New
players will need to be registered with the league by the Sunday preceding
the players first appearance for the team. Playing unregistered players will
result in the deduction of points for offending teams.
This is to stop some of the problems
we have had over the last couple of seasons with teams not only playing
unregistered players, but attributing goals scored to players that did not
score them. This practice is cheating and we are determined to make the
Bangkok Premier League a fair competition.
These measures are intended to make
the game fairer, not to create more red tape. It is unfortunate that the
actions of a couple of teams have made these measures necessary. The
referees have been instructed to monitor players ID cards regularly and
opposing managers are entitled to request ID cards at any time. This new
policy will be strictly enforced by the league to hopefully eradicate this
kind of behavior.
Please make sure your ID/Passport
copies and Passport photos are submitted by the 30th September 2006 to allow
for the production and delivery of the ID cards. This can be done very
easily electronically by clicking "Team Admin" on the menu
