2014 Calgary Australian Football Club Exemption Request for Rob Medley

Player: 
Rob Medley
Exemption Type: 
Eligibility Points
Reason: 
My name is Rob Medley and I have been a member of the Calgary Kangaroos since moving from Australia to Canada in 2006. I am a permanent resident of Canada and have lived in Canada every year since 2006. I have attended 5 previous US Nationals tournaments, including winning Div 2 with Calgary in Austin in 2011. I have played 4 local games this season, and one against Edmonton, however I missed 10 weeks with a knee injury in the middle of the season. Due to the injury and work commitments I did not register for US Nationals until now, as I was unsure as to whether I would (a) be fit to play and (b) whether I would have work commitments. I am now fit and don’t have work commitments the weekend of Nationals. I have been registered with Calgary all season and would kindly request exemption from the points regulation on the basis outlined above.
League Ruling
Status: 
Granted
Reason: 
His history has him playing in 2013 so I believe he has been in Canada for an extended period. I approve, with consideration given to his knee injury as to why he did not register earlier
