ARRANGEMENTS
The home team should contact their opponents as soon as they are known and suggest 3 dates before the limit date. However both teams take responsibility to get the match played within the limit date, so if the visitors do not hear from the home team, then they should also make contact. Play as soon as possible so that if bad weather interferes then the match can be re-arranged within the prescribed time.
Teams failing to meet the deadlines could find themselves withdrawn from the competition. If you are experiencing problems playing the match then please contact me to inform me that the match will be played after the limit date
Neutral referees should be used whenever possible in rounds1 & 2 – however they must be used in the Semi Finals and Finals.
