Kuwait Indian Football Federation
change of rules for Fair Play Award
|
Following the special EGM held at Royal Terrasse Restaurant on Friday 28th September 2012, the General Body decided to do away with the Season Championship Award which was given at the end of the season for regular tournament champions based on points system and decided to implement and promote the 'Fair Play' award program based on a new format.
Fair
Play is considered one of the most important elements in the game of
Football. It is included as a major rule in F.I.F.A.'s own code of
conduct. To Play Fair is to play with grace and dignity; it is to
promote the more encouraging points to the supporters and to the younger
generations so that the game is turned around into a more socially enjoyable
experience.
The existing KIFF Fair Play award at
the end of the season considered only cautions and sending off offences of
players on the field of play and in rare cases the off field behavior based on warning
letter issued by KIFF. The existing system
is as follows:-
The new Fair Play scoring system
will incorporate the above plus the team behavior from not only the players,
but also the team management and officials.
Referees , KIFF
Observers and Organizers are required to submit Fair Play scores
after every game. A maximum of 10 points can be scored for each of the categories.
Fair Play Score sheet should be hand
over in person or emailed to the Sports Secretary within 3 days of the game
being played.
