Player clearances is a mechanism whereby clubs gain approval from their governing body to transfer a player from one club to another. Throughout the process, the affected clubs and the association are notified by email as to the actions that are required at any stage.

Note: Permits have a similar process to that described below for Clearances, except the application is between one club and the association. A player must be on a club's player list before a Permit can be requested.

More information about Permits

Below is an overview of the clearance process.

Requesting a clearance

Go to Mode: Competition Participation Menu: Players -> Permits & Clearances -> Apply for a Player Clearance

  1. Search for the player within ResultsVault by any of the ResultsVault ID, the Player Name, or the Player club
  2. A list of players is displayed. Click the Select link. Make sure that where a player is listed as belonging to more than one club, that the correct club is chosen.
  3. Select the season, and the association the clearance applies to.
  4. Fill in the Clearance reason and optionally the To club comment

Notes on the process

  • When a clearance application changes status an email is sent out to both clubs and the association notifying them of the change. Emails are sent to:
    • Any club administrative user that either creates the request, or responds to it
    • Any club administrative user that is subscribed to the Clearance/Permit request Notification
    • Any association administrative user that is subscribed to the Clearance/Permit request Notification
  • More information about Notifications
  • If a club denies a clearance, the association can override and grant the clearance.
  • If more information is requested by any party, the request essentially goes back to the prior status. For example, if a club has 'granted' a clearance, then the association requests more information, that club needs to provide the information, and grant the clearance again.
  • All changes to the clearance application will result in an "audit" record that is accessible by the association.
  • Personal details of a player being cleared from another club will be obscured from the applying club until that clearance is granted.
