SL Overseas Quota - To Clarify

[King Viking]

Just found this which might help answer some of the questions about the SL quota.

Quota rules

The new rules HAVE been agreed and as far as I understand is as follows:

2008
At least 5 "home grown" players
No more than 5 overseas quota players
No more than 10 "overseas trained" players inc 5 OQs
Rest of squad to be from players trained within same Federation

2009
At least 6 "home grown" players
No more than 5 overseas quota players
No more than 9 "overseas trained" players inc 5 OQs
Rest of squad to be from players trained within same Federation

2010
At least 7 "home grown" players
No more than 5 overseas quota players
No more than 8 "overseas trained" players inc 5 OQs
Rest of squad to be from players trained within same Federation

2011
At least 8 "home grown" players
No more than 5 overseas quota players
No more than 5 "overseas trained" players inc 5 OQs
Rest of squad to be from players trained within same Federation

Where...

"home grown" = any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with same club

same federation = any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with other clubs within UK for UK SL clubs or France for Catalans etc.

overseas quota = as per current rules i.e. anyone unable to prove origins within EU or Kolpak countries.

and

"overseas trained" = any other player.
