For Finals p14

For Finals 
For a player to be eligible to play in any fixture designated as a Championship final (e.g. semi-final, final, classification playoff) for a team in the Competition, that player must have participated in at least three non-final fixtures (e.g. round robin fixtures) for that team during the current season.  
For Porritt Cup finals, and finals played (if any) in any competition that is designated as grading games, a player must have played at least one non-final fixture for that team in the current season.  

Dispensation can be applied for in writing to the appropriate advisory committee for allowing registered players returning from injury or lower grade players from the same Member that have not achieved the three (3) fixture threshold to be declared eligible to play in Championships finals fixtures if the team otherwise will have insufficient players.  

Fixtures played in Championship finals do not count towards the fixture threshold that requires a player to automatically become a player of the higher ranked team and no longer eligible for the lower team within the Member.  
This allows players to potentially be eligible for two teams during the Championship finals fixtures.

Penalties for Using Ineligible Participants p 14

CHA requests that Club secretaries or Presidents submit these using the CHA dispensations form.  All CHA Dispensation results can be seen HERE
