DNCG rulings

On 5 June 2012, following a preliminary review of each club's administrative and financial accounts in the Championnat de France amateur, the DNCG ruled that Pacy Vallée-d'Eure and Besançon would be excluded from participating in the CFA and would be relegated to the Division d'Honneur.^[5] Besançon later declared bankruptcy.^[6] The organization also confirmed its refusal to allow Montceau Bourgogne and Roye-Noyon promotion to the fourth division.^[7] All rulings were subject to appeal. On 26 June, the DNCG ruled that Agde would be relegated to the fifth division due to financial irregularities.^[8] A month later, Sénart-Moissy was excluded from participation in the CFA.

On 5 July, appeals for both Montceau Bourgogne and Roye-Noyon were heard. After deliberation, the DNCG ruled in favor of allowing each club promotion to the CFA.^[9] After failing in a similar appeal, Agde announced that it would appeal to the CNOSF, the National Sporting Committee of France, in order to remain in the CFA. Sénart-Moissy's appeal was also rejected by the DNCG resulting in the club falling to the fifth division.^[10]
