Ah there in lies the problem then. I've never had to send in a team sheet after a game. They are only sent if Mainland requests them. So they'd never know someone was really playing unless someone had an issue. - Might be different for MPL
Yes there are fines if team card (teamsheets) are received late.
Here the regs from the MPL Handbook, and I have alsp pasted the Fines List as well. Interesting to see e) under Team Cards, which I have made blue font because if the are doing this then would highlight any unregistered players.
8.3 Team Cards
a) All team cards are to contain the full name, not initials, of each player, including substitutes, with
the number on the card corresponding to the individual player’s uniform. Team Cards must also
include goal scorer’s numbers. If not correctly filled in the Club may be liable to a fine as per
Schedule "B" attached hereto.
b) Each team card should be signed after the game to confirm that the result and any misconduct,
reported on the card, are correct.
c) Team cards for all games shall be sent by all participating Clubs, these to be in the hands of the
GDM within three (3) working days following the match. Clubs failing to comply shall be liable to a
fine, as pre Schedule "B" attached hereto.
d) In 2013 to assist Mainland Football with their end of season individual player awards, each coach
shall nominate one (1) opposition player as their Player of The Day, this has to be marked on the
team sheet POD beside players name.
e) In 2013 season Mainland Football will endeavour to update players statistics online, therefore
important that goal scorers and substitutions are marked on the team sheet.
