Commissioner's Rulings
) |
2009-10 SeasonOctober 1, 2009 On September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2009 Michael Baxter competed as a member of the Lethbridge College men’s soccer team in losses against MHC and SAIT. Unfortunately, due to acknowledged administrative error on the part of LCK, Mr. Baxter was not listed on LCK’s supplemental eligibility form in time. He was not added to the form until September 24 and would not have been eligible to compete until September 28. Mr. Baxter otherwise met all eligibility requirements. RULING: Article I Section 5 Rule 10.2 of the ACAC Operating Code is worded as follows: As a result of errors by the administration of member institutions regarding student athlete eligibility the ACAC Commissioner has the authority to issue a fine of $1,500. Based on the above, LCK is assessed a $1,500 fine, payable forthwith to the ACAC Office. The results of the two matches referenced above shall stand. Sincerely, Bill Hendsbee |
