Rule Change

Thursday 20 June 2024, 08:33
This season has seen an unusually high mount of games being postponed, therefore the committee reviewed
rule 3.d and have made the following amendment to be applicable from June 1st.
(The wording in this rule is very ambiguous and needed amending regardless)

- Any team cancelling a game will be subject to minus 4 points. The game can will be re-arranged.

- If a team cancels on the day of the game then that team will be subject to minus 8 points and the game awarded 15-0 to the opposing team. POS stats will be added to opposing team.

Only games that have been postponed after June 1st will be subject to the above.
