One needs to read the "regrading rule�
It applies to player/s coming from a higher grade to a lower grade ONLY.
So if a club was to drop player/s to a lower grade ie capital 3 then at a later �time� take such player/s to a �higher grade (even for a PLAY-OFF� game) this is within the regrading rule.
The RG rule as of November 2005 was �Once a TEAM had completed it�s season, no players could be �regraded�.
At this meeting it was explained what the ramifications would be it the rule was changed to it�s current wording however the clubs went for the change.
The RG rule has been amended at least 6-10 times in the last 15 years, I was the one that re-wrote the current rule with Graeme Sole.
Before the beginning of the 2009 season I asked the manager (KP) to amend it as it has a major loophole, the odd club has picked up on it but thank the games lucky stars they have not enforced.
So Olympic Can drop 1st team players to div 2 and below and at a later date/time play them in a play-off match.

Better than putting up with the crap administration that I hear that is coming out of CF.
Why is the old problem of the RG rule is coming up again.
It is up to the clubs to read it, make a call to CF and if they don�t like the response, play the game then protest to NZF.
In the 11 years that I was involve in making the calls, CF was only taken to NZF once.

Correct, the catch was, as long as the �grade/division� was not completed, teams in such grade then could �re-grade� from such to a lower grade.
That's a bit cheeky. Not really what the rule says.

Smithy, The idea, was that players who play in higher �grade� can not be used to "stack" a team once their grade has finished, problem is clubs have found a way to beat the system.
It was this loophole and also the problem listed below that I tried to close before I left.
Look at Reg 3 (page 11) and the part at the end of 3.1 where it reads
�If a Club has a team in a higher COMPITITION, the following shall apply:�
(Only the clubs that play in the CL have a team in a higher Comp).
This part was added to stop the then National League clubs who also had a team in the Federation Leagues from �stacking�.
therefore reg 3. 1 (a-d) only applies to the clubs who have a team in the CL. All others do not have a �regrading rule� to adhere to.
The word Competition� is the one that now needs to be worked on.
Fuck this stupid game
