As of 28 March 2010, SWAFL will be using the Footyweb Platform for transfers within SWAFL and also from other leagues from/to SWAFL. This replaced the old paper-based system.
For Example.
Player X played in the ACT Competition in 2009 and transfers to Sydney to play for the Newtown Breakaways. Newtown Team Manager or designated person who has access to the Footyweb Administration side files an electronic transfer request to the original club. The original club has then 6 working days to approve the transfer/deny the transfer. If nothing happens after 6 working days, the transfer will automatically be cleared.
Transfers can only be denied if a player has kept club equipment or monies owing from the previous season.
Clubs that field a player that hasn't been cleared by match day can be deducted four competition points for each match that player has played.
