As you are aware, the FA are experiencing several issues with the player registration system on the "Whole Game System", which has prevented Clubs being able to Register them on the portal. 

BCFA and the NDSFL will attempt everything in our power  to ensure players get the opportunity to play, which will mean that the league will offer a degree of flexibility to registrations, as agreed with the Birmingham FA. 

The FA have now issued the following updated guidance to achieve this. 

• The NDSFL will utilise an alternative registrations process to the FA Club Portal for players that their clubs have been genuinely unable to register due to system errors in the Portal . 
• The link below is a Simple "Registration Card" filled in "Online" and submitted to the League. 
• The link is https://form.jotform.com/212773163393054
• Clubs will have to pursue WGS Registration, which will have to be achieved by October 30^th 2021.
• The Leagues Registration Officer will monitor any discrepancies, if a Transfer is required, Secretary's should not use this method to Register a Player.  If a player is Suspended then the Club will be responsible in ensuring the player does not play whilst under Suspension.
• The Clubs will receive a Receipt of Registration for their records.
• Cut off for using this method will be 6.00pm on the Friday before the Sunday Game. 

The NDSFL have informed BCFA that we are using an alternative process.
