The AIDKA has developed a new Penalty Handbook to replace Appendix B in the AIDKA Rule Book. This Handbook was prepared by the AIDKA Administration in consultation with the Officials Sub-Committee and experienced Chief Stewards from Title meetings.
The Handbook provides clear guidance on penalties for rule breaches, ensuring that Stewards, Officials, and Clubs can apply rules fairly and consistently. Its use will:
- Give Stewards greater confidence when applying penalties
- Make it easier to identify the appropriate penalty
- Ensure consistency across all meetings
- Support future integration into an electronic reporting system
The AIDKA Penalty Handbook will be compulsory for all Chief Stewards from 27th September 2025.
