Cap Number Selection Process
The process for cap number selection is managed by the age group co-ordinator.
Once team selection has taken place all players are asked to complete an online survey detailing their top 3 number sections.
The age group co-ordinator then reviews these selections and follows the below criteria, in order, when allocating cap numbers.
Players of the age group get complete preference over players ‘playing up’ into the age group.
Length of time in the team. Including if an ‘of age’ player was previously in the team ‘playing up’. If there are two players with the same preference and same length of time in the team then;
Length of time as a WWPC club member, not including Flippaball. If there are two players with the same preference and same length of time in the team then;
Players age, with oldest receiving precedence.
Players playing up - once all ‘of age’ players are allocated, then criteria b-d will be applied to select caps numbers for players playing up.
