Playing unregistered players, overseas players who may not have been cleared. Beyond honest mistakes, it's all about gaining advantage to win. But what about the elephant in the 6 yard box - what, exactly, are the rules concerning player payments in an amateur league? Can anyone enlighten me?
Hope this help Regulation 5 should cover all the information you need. All comes down to the term "expenses".
