2013 Fort Lauderdale Fighting Squids Exemption Request for Ronan Shaughnessy

Player: 
Ronan Shaughnessy
Exemption Type: 
Eligibility Points
Reason: 
Ronan is part of the Montreal Saints and joined us in the past 2 nationals as part of our Sister club arrangement that has been in place for the last 2 Nationals. In June he attended our Tournament and was to join our squad to play Tampa and Dallas; however due to Tampa reduced numbers (5) the 8 Montreal players played with them for the tournament. With 2 games in the USAFL at the tournament and a season with the Quebec League, please exempt him from the points needed
League Ruling
Status: 
Granted
Reason: 
Granted in consideration of the fact that the player played in a tournament in Fort Lauderdale in which he did not receive points as he was loaned to another club and in consideration of the long standing relationship the player has with this club. Additionally, Fort Lauderdale agreed this year to step up to D2 after previously playing D4 but made a request that they continue to be able to play two Montreal players who had played with them at nationals over several years in D4.
