    I'd love to be able to do that electronically via Foireann!!

    But the Foireann teamsheet is a good way to do it.  I.e. if the teamsheet that the opposing team presents to you is the teamsheet filled out by Foireann, then my experience is that there will be a warning symbol by the name of any player or mentor who is not a current registered member of the association (in my experience the check does not go down to club level at least in GAA - probably as Foireann would not know of cases where a player is playing with another club "on permission").

    Of course you could also have a case where a player (or his parent/guardian on his or her behalf) has not authentically registered with his or her club for the season, but a club admin has merely declared in Foireann that the player is registered.  Far be it from me to think that there could be a case where this might happen, but one does wonder at times.

    Yes but that still leaves open the possibility of an illegal player being put on the pitch with the name of a legal player on the team sheet. How does Foireann account for that?

    Niall Lucey you are right you can have a case where admin can set marked paid in club for players who don't intend to play and they will show up as registered on the team sheet. Marked paid in club should be not be an option in the tool. We are living in a cashless society so most people have cards and should be no reason why you have to mark paid in club.

    While our club is cashless for registrations. i.e. does registrations 100% online, and 100% via Foireann, colleting 100% of payments online, paid online directly by the member, their parent/guardian, or in extremely rare cases a person sitting beside them typing their answers, some clubs still wish to take cash and that's entirely reasonable.  There are still people who use only cash, and are not online.

    Wrt an opposing team playing players who are either unregistered or not authentically registered, I think our default position has to be to trust that the opposing club would not do such a thing.  After all, we're all in our associations together, and doing otherwise really benefits nobody.  If you have evidence that otherwise has been done, you can use it as grounds for an objection to the result of a match.

    From my own perspective, if I were constructing a priority list of enhancements I'd like to see in Foireann, then making changes to Foireann to address the situation mentioned in this discussion would be way down near the bottom of the list.  Not because I'm opposed to such enhancements, but because I think there are other enhancements we have a greater need for.  That said, I'm just one club registrar, and others may have different well founded views.
