SAA Carding explanation

Senior Carding 2014/15

SAA Senior Carding Criteria for 2014/15 will be based on SEA Games 2013 results. If athlete meets the required marks during the period of 2013 SEA Games – 30 June 2014, athlete will be entitled to carding from the month of meeting the mark till 31 Dec 2014.

SAA Senior Carding 2014/15 will be reviewed on a half-yearly basis starting on 30 June 2014. The next review will be on 31 Dec 2014. If athlete meets the required marks during the period of 1 July 2014 – 31 Dec 2014, athlete will be entitled to carding from the month of meeting the mark till 30 June 2015.

After review: If any Athlete’s carding status changes within the carding category, both the Athlete and Coach will be paid accordingly. If an Athlete drops out of the carding status, both their carding allowances will cease until the Athlete meets the carding requirement again. Carding will then be reinstated and SAA will back pay the allowance for that Quarter. (January Quarter, April Quarter, July Quarter, October Quarter) If athlete is not able to maintain performance without valid reason/s, SAA’s Training and Selection Committee may recommend the stopping of funding.

Youth Carding 2015

Carding for Youth Athletes preparing for the SEA Youth Championships 2014 will be based on the 2013 SEA Youth Championship results. In order to qualify for Youth category carding, Athletes preparing for the SEA Youth Championships must be age-eligible to compete in the particular SEA Youth Championships. Otherwise they will not be carded under Youth Carding even though they meet the mark.

Carding allowance will only apply for the period of 3 months prior to SEA Youth 2014 Championships. Athletes will only qualify for the carding allowance if they are selected to be in the final team and having successfully competed in the championships.

Limit on carding allowance

There is no limit as to the number of events for which any coach or athlete can receive carding allowance. As long as the Athlete meets the requirement, both the Athlete and Coach will be paid. However, an Athlete/Coach will only be eligible for carding in his/her highest carding category, if he/she qualifies for carding for more than 2 categories in the same event.

Carding Review

SAA’s carding system will be under review yearly or as necessary. SAA reserves the right to review and amend the qualifying criteria for carding in any Category at any time. Athletes will be transferred from Youth to Junior or from Junior to Senior as they cross the age limit. This transfer will affect their carding status. They will have to meet the respective carding criteria for their new age category.
