Message for all teams!
Due to the increasing number of teams showing up late for games and in some instances not turning up at all, we have decided to input two new rules to overcome this problem and help the league run smoother.
There will now be a 48hr cancellation period, if your team is unable to gather enough players for a certain fixture you will have to do so 48hours before that specific game, you will not have the chance to re-schedule the fixture and it will incur a 5-0 loss to your team, however you will not be charged. If you cancel within 48 hours of your fixture you will also incur a 5-0 loss but you be billed for this via invoice, same penalty occurs if you do not turn up.
If your teams turns up 10 minutes late for a match you will begin the game 3-0 down and you will be liable for the full cost of that game, 15 minutes late is deemed a "no show" and a 5-0 loss will be issued to your team, for the game to still be played both managers must agree to play a reduced timed game.
All timings are down to the referee's discretion.
thank you for your co-operation and if you have any questions or comments on this matter i would be happy to hear them.
