There can be no exceptions to this rule by VICFA Executives unless approved by Majority Resolution.

Persons authorizes to verify a player are any current member of the VICFA executive, An Association President or a representative that is designated by the VICFA Executive, or a designate representative from each club (but subject to and conditional upon the prior express approval in writing from the VICFA Executive) may also verify.
