The central issue of the tournament was the question of defectors. The competition was held up at almost every stage by alegations of ineligible players and improperly registered players taking part.
There was a protracted dispute between Birds of Pretoria and Lenasia-based Swaraj over registration of Birds' Mervyn Schaidy, who was said to have played for NSL team Witbank Black aces.
In Natal, Tongaat Crusaders and Jakes Autolot were involved in a fierce boardroom tussle tp blackball Real Taj for having fielded Michael Williams, who also said to have pleyed in NSL. Mervyn Schaidy was suspended
Michael Williams was cleard to play for Real Taj!
