Appendix “A” Introduction The League has adopted the State and Territory Tribunal Guidelines for the purposes of dealing with Reportable Offences. Section 5 of the State and Territory Tribunal Guidelines contains grading templates for various classifications of offences and outlines the prescribed penalties which can be offered to reported Players (where applicable). The system will not apply to Officials who are reported. Those reports will be heard by the Tribunal. Procedure Umpires shall report and charge Players in the usual manner. The reporting Umpire shall complete the Player Report Form template and forward to the League by 10.00 am on the Monday immediately following the Match (where reasonably practicable). Once the Player Report Form and Report Template has been received the League’s Football Operations Co-ordinator will process the report and decide whether: the offence by the Player is suitable for determination under the Prescribed Penalty System; or the report should be referred to the Tribunal for determination. If the offence and/or Player is suitable for determination under the Prescribed Penalty System, the prescribed penalty shall be offered to the Player (via the Club) on the Monday following the Match in which the Player was reported. The Player (either directly or via the Club) shall notify the League of the acceptance or refusal to accept the set penalty no later than 4.00pm on the Tuesday following the Match in which the Player was reported (or at a later date as reasonably prescribed by the League if the prescribed penalty was provided later than Monday). If accepted, the penalty shall be recorded against the player’s record kept by the league. If the prescribed penalty is rejected the report shall be referred to the Tribunal for hearing at a time to be advised the League.
