    (2) Once registered with the League a player shall remain a member of the Club for which he has signed for the remainder of  the current season, unless a transfer is effected in accordance with FA, BCFA and League Rules. 

    (3) A player shall be registered for only one club within the League at any one time. The Secretary of the Club shall ascertain   whether a player is registered with another Club, by contacting the Registration Secretary. 

(4) The Registration Form including the counterfoil shall be completed by the player, in full block capitals, and with all questions answered, by deleting as necessary.  The player shall record his FULL name and shall sign the form with his usual signature in the space provided. “Any player in breach of sections 1 – 3 of this rule shall be suspended until his case is dealt with by the NDSFL Management Committee”. 

   (5)     The Club Secretary shall check the completed players Registration Form and counterfoil, and after ensuring it has been completed correctly, shall sign it as witnessed and send it to the Registration Secretary, to reach him a minimum of 5 days before the player is eligible to play for the Club. Registration forms must be forwarded to the Registration Secretary in a sealed envelope, with the name of the Club and number of forms enclosed, clearly marked on the outside of the envelope.  Where a different number of forms to that marked are enclosed the  Registration Secretary shall notify the Club to remedy the situation.  The Registration Secretary will not accept registration Forms in any other way. 

    Upon receipt of the registration form, the Registration Secretary will register the player and return the tear off counterfoil (receipt) to the Club Secretary.  Clubs should not play any player until they are in possession of the returned processed counterfoil (receipt), or have checked with the Registration Secretary to ensure that the player’s registration has been processed.  Clubs playing players without compliance with the above may have played players who have not been registered with the League, and are therefore ineligible.

    These Clubs will be dealt with under (Rule 8n clause 5 & 6). 

    (6) Registration forms not correctly completed will not be accepted and, therefore, will invalidate the player's registration until such time as correctly completed, and re-submitted as per Rule 8.

    (9) Should a player's address change during the current season, the Registration Secretary shall be informed immediately by his Club Secretary.
