Learning Objectives


After completing this help guide, you’ll be able to:

  • Access the Red Flag console.
  • Add a Red Flag to a player.
  • Remove a Red Flag from a player.

 

As per the New Zealand Football (NZF) Regulations on the Status & Transfer of Players (RSTP), the registration of a player to their club is terminated at the end of each winter season. This being 31 December of each calendar year.

 

Well what about players that owe money and/or gear? That’s where the red flagging of players come in handy! Players that are red flagged cannot register in the next season until the flag has been removed by the club that marked the player. 

 

To ensure that these players cannot register to a new club after player registrations terminate on December 31 of each calendar year, these players must be red flagged. With that in mind, lets go about adding a flag to one of your players.

 


Note: The red flagging console only becomes available after 30 June each season. A player must be CONFIRMED to your club before they can be Red Flagged.

 

  • Once logged in, select Players from the left hand menu.
  • Select Red Flag Player.

 

 

  • Select Search.


 

You will be presented with a list of all CONFIRMED players within your club, detailing who they are and their current red flag status.

 

 

  • Use the Player filter to find the relevant player(s)
  • Select the relevant Reason.
  • Tick the box to the right of the reason column.

 

 

  • Select Flag Marked Players.


 


At the conclusion of the season these players will not be terminated during the auto-termination process. A registration end date will be applied to show the registration for that season has finished but they will remain CONFIRMED at your club preventing their registration to any other club until you approve their termination. 

 

Removing Red Flags

Removing a red flag is done from the player’s profile and will also involve terminating the players registration. 

 

  • Once logged in, use the quick search bar to search and find the player.

 

 

  • Scroll down to the Active Registrations section.
  • Select Remove Red Flag.

 

 

  • Next you will need to navigate to the confirmed registrations and click edit.
  • Select a Termination Reason, then click Save as Terminated.



Note: The date to will be pre-filled to the end of the relevant season and does not need to be edited.


  •  Once the red flag is removed and the registration is terminated the player will be free to register for the new season.


Note: Even if the player is returning to your club you will need to terminate this registration so they can re-register to ensure they are eligible for the new season.


 

So how do you then see a list of red flag players? The red flagged players report. Lets have a look.

 

  • Once logged in, select Reports & Statistics from the left hand menu.
  • Select Clubs & Players.

 

 

  • Use the report search bar to search for and select the List of Red Flagged Players report.

 

 

  • Select Run Report.

 

 

You will be provided with a full list of all players that have been red flagged by your club, including the reason.
