JOMA SUPA-LIGA
FINALS PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
Summer 2024/25 finals eligibility criteria for each category as taken from the Supa-Liga Rules
To be eligible to play in finals, players must meet the following criteria:
​
1. Minimum Game Requirement
-
A player must have participated in at least 20% of league matches in their main category during the regular season to qualify for finals.
-
A player is deemed to have played a match if they step onto the court at any time during the game. Their appearance must be recorded on the match sheet with a "P" (Played) notation by the match scorer.
​
2. Eligibility for Higher Categories
-
If a player qualifies for finals in their main category, they are also eligible to play in the finals for any category above their main category, provided they meet the age eligibility requirements.
-
For junior players, this means they may play one category up (e.g., a 7SL-qualified player may also play in the 9SL finals).
-
For seniors, a 15s player who qualifies for the 15s finals is also eligible for the 20s and senior category finals, if they meet the birth year requirements.
-
​
3. Lower Division Players in Higher Division Finals
-
A player who qualifies for the Supa-Liga C or Supa-Liga B finals is eligible to be called up to play in MSL or WSL finals, provided they meet all other requirements.
-
However, this rule does not work in reverse—a player qualifying for a higher division cannot play in the finals of a lower division.
​
4. Key Player List Restrictions
-
Players on the Key Player List from the previous season may only play a limited number of matches in the lower divisions during the regular season.
-
However, only one (1) Key Player List player per club is allowed to play in Supa-Liga B finals, provided they have played at least 20% of league matches in Supa-Liga B during the regular season.
​
5. General Registration & Compliance
-
Players must be properly registered and have met all financial obligations with their club to be eligible for finals.
-
Players who were not registered in the correct timeframe or did not meet match eligibility requirements will not be permitted to play in finals.
