At an SEPF meeting over the weekend, it was decided that any player entering SPA events from Aberdeen will NOT be able to represent the SEPF Scotland team.

yup ridiculous doesnt even cover it, for all the years the SEPF consistently said they didnt have a choice policy up it rears his ugly head as soon as someone tries something, anything to get both codes working together for once.
THe meeting was Chaired by Mike Macdonald and George Harwood ???? Others at the meeting i am led to believe were Brad Wight R4 John Murray R3 Mike McHale R2 Kevin(Somebody) R3 Adam Macleod R4 Ian Moffat R2 John Hay R1 Les Anderson R1(Abstained) Derek Ahern R1(Abstained) Profile

One of the few things the SEPF had going for them was lack of choice / banning policy. Can't see where this leaves the SEPF now that is no longer the case.
What has Harwood got to do with running the SPEF? I thought Mike M had said in another thread that he'd told Harwood to keep out? Can someone from the SEPF clarify why this rule has been introduced? Can anyone from the current Scotland set-up let their opinion on this be known? [ This message was edited by: PaulS on 2011-10-10 12:40 ] Profile

Well for the vast majority of the adpl like myself that has diddly squat chance of getting near the sepf squad it gives us another set of comps to try out for a year and still enter the sepf singles events aswell.
It will however give the top 15-20 players in the league a major decision to make. ridiculous decision though, as it has always been said that the sepf would never have choice policy. Smells of serious sour grapes  Profile

smells of playground bollocks, adpl has decided they want to try and make friends with someone else and sepf has thrown toys out of pram and now refuse to be our friend anymore and join in with their game

I spoke to Patty/Daz/Martin/Philip/Ian about this yesterday. They didn't nessecarally agree with it but didn't seem that bothered.
But thats only the opinion I got. Maybe they will answer for themselves. Profile

any idea why it was brought up as a meeting agenda, there was no real need for it as we wouldnt have been breaking any rules as far a we were concerned, yet all of a sudden its part of a meeting agenda - ie who brought it up, is there a proposal for this rule change etc, again not directed at you Derek just anyone in the SEPF in general.

Wasn't Martin there were lots of things discussed at the meeting.
Selection Policy/Future Events/Interleague Regional and National finances etc,etc. The ADPL issue was just one of many things discussed. Also I am posting on here as I was at the meeting representing R1. I have no involvment with the SEPF other than that. So my posts on here will be based on my opinions and not the opinions of the SEPF. Profile

ok in your opinion why was the ADPL discussed, when no previosu known rules of the SEPF were broken and a few of the committee guys on the SEPF that i spoke to long before this meeting of the SEPF didnt have a problem with it.

Total joke - whoever voted for this at the meeting should hang their heads in shame based on the ethos of the SEPF and previous criticism of the SPA over the years.
Can I ask what rule in writing does this come from? You cant just make up rules as important as this. Would be interested to hear the opinions of the guys this will affect the most but personally feel the ADPL should carry on and dual affiliate and players can make their choice. If I was one of the players affected I would certainly be wanting to challenge this crazy decision. No respect for the guys who have spent thousands of pounds representing their country over the years from this area. By the way Spot no offence but you can offer my trial place to the next person in line. I don't want to be involved in a setup that is not supporting the development of the game. ----------------- CML Web Design Ltd Your complete web solution!

Sorry Martin I cant answer that one. Don't know who you have or haven't spoken to about it. And nobody said to my knowledge yesterday that any rules were or have been broken. Suggest you maybe email Brad to get the official response from the sepf. Profile

No offence taken mate , but I would ask you not to give up your trial place based on this forum discussion.The facts as discussed at yesterdays meeting will be issued by the SEPF in an official format , and any decisions really should be taken after that. cheers ----------------- John Hay Profile
