Hamkam could have avoided the two-point deduction if they had appealed the decision to show positive equity by June 30. It turns out that Hamkam was not aware that they had a right to appeal the decision.

What happened?

Hamkam was required to show positive equity by June 30, but the club had a negative equity of around 2.3 million kroner. The club therefore had to deduct two points.

Why is this important for Hamkam?

The point deduction can be crucial for Hamkam's chances in the 1. Division. The club is now in 12th place with 10 points, 41 points behind leaders Fortuna Ålesund W. | Category | Value | | League position | 12th | | Points | 10 | | Wins | 3 | | Draws | 1 | | Losses | 18 | | Goals scored | 13 | | Goals conceded | 47 |

What comes next?

Hamkam must now focus on ensuring that they have positive equity by October 31, which is the next key date for the club. Chairman Tor Rullestad is optimistic, but also realistic. He emphasizes that there is still a lot that needs to fall into place for things to go according to plan.

Positive spleiselag

The club has received around two million kroner from the «Spleiselaget», but is struggling with poor attendance figures. Other measures and grants have helped the chairman see the light and the possibility of achieving the goal. Hamkam wants to have the rent to Hamar municipality waived, based on the Idrettsmeldingen which states that the club pays 688,000 kroner too much per year.
