Fairplay League 2018 -2019

Fairplay measures Player, Supporter and Team Official behaviour as perceived and marked by the opposition. We tracked our 2,161 cup and League games played to date and processed 3,472 submissions received from Parents and Team Managers giving the League 10,416 pieces of data during the season. Based on this data we are pleased to announce the Age group winners for 2018/2019 season : -

• U12 Cookham Dean (runners up Aylesbury Utd Juniors)
• U13 Beaconsfield Town Colts (runners up Aylesbury Utd Juniors Colts)
• U14 Wendover Junior Colts (runners up Wycombe Saints)
• U15 Burnham Junior Panthers Yellow (runners up Haddenham Youth)
• U16 Boyne Hill Tigers (runners up Aylesbury Utd Juniors)

The return rate for fair play submissions this season stands at a new record high 80%, considerably better than the usual season average of 63%. Thanks to the teams for improved participation.

Aims

The aim is to give young players, managers and parents/supporters a goal to aim for during the season. The ethos behind the scheme is to encourage fair play throughout the age groups. Encouraging young sports people to behave in a sportsman like manner and play fairly is a step towards these players growing in maturity and showing good sportsmanship in the future. The increased pressures of the professional game do not always set the best examples, and we need to show, through the Fairplay League, how the game should be played and what behaviour is expected.

At the end of the season after all results have been tabulated, the winners of each age group will receive a certificate honouring their achievement.

How to submit Fairplay scores

After each match a Fairplay rating about the oposition team is required from your team. This applies to League, Cup, and Subsidiary games that have been played, including abandoned games (that actually started) and void games. We do not require Fairplay submissions for County Cup games.

You'll be able to submit Fairplay scores for games up to 30 days after the match date.

Expunged and Void games that were played

We dont need reports about postponed games that were not played. However if the game was played then we want to hear about the behaviour and your scores will count in the Fairplay tables. So when you sign in to Fairplay, expunged and void games will auto fill for you if a submission is expected.

Sometimes, the League may move a team to a different division shortly after the season has begun. Then some of the played League games become expunged from the League tables. However we still require Fairplay reports for these expunged games as we want to track a team's behaviour throughout its time with the League.

If your opposition team folds or withdraws from the League, we would still like a Fairplay submission about the behaviour during games that were played. We keep expunged games in the Fairplay system after teams have withdrawn so that submissions will count in the Fairplay tables.

Void games are rare but arise when games are played and we later find out both sides had players that were not registered in time (usually due to missing the player registration deadline for the start of the season).
