PLAYERS WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO PLAY IN RFU COMPETITIONS IF THE RE-REGISTRATION PROCESS IS NOT COMPLETED BEFORE AUGUST 1, 2010.

Important Notice
Player Registration is one of the most important elements of competition integrity. As such, it is essential that the Player Registration System not only maintains high quality and correct information but the maintenance of this information is also accurate.
Over the past few years however, it has become clear that a large number of clubs have not been removing those who have left the club, retired or become otherwise ineligible. As a result, the number of registered players has, in some cases, risen to over 500 in a single club making it very time consuming for the league administrators to manage and review. To address this issue for the coming season we are changing regulations to reduce this overhead on our overworked volunteers.
Previously, there was no limit for Clubs below Level 6. However, there will be a new limit of 100 adult Players which shall apply to all clubs below the Premiership looking to compete in RFU Leagues and Cup. For most clubs this means the First XV squad.
In order to achieve this 100 Player Limit ALL Clubs at Levels 5 and below will need to undertake the “re-registration” procedure between July 1, 2010 and August 1, 2010 where you will need to confirm those players you wish to retain on your Player Registration list as Effectvely Registered. If this process is not completed those players not “re-registered” shall become de-registered on August 2, 2010 and not be eligible to play in RFU competitions.
This process has been designed to be as easy as possible through either RugbyFirst (online) or by paper via the regional registrars and we are providing support for those who are struggling to make this happen by calling or emailing our support team (details shown at the bottom of each page).

If you are unable to complete the process online please contact your Regional Registrar who will send you your Club’s Adult Player Registration List. You can then respond back to your Regional Registrar in writing clearly stating who you wish to retain. This must also be done before August 1, 2010. Contact details below.
