The Management
Committee will arrange the initial fixture list for each season if a
fixture is rearranged and advised to the Divisional Secretary before
25 April then the new fixture date will be regarded as the original.
Should a fixture rearranged after 25 April fail to be played for
whatever reason, the team originally cancelling the fixture will
forfeit the points, except when both teams confirm that the failure
to play is for wholly weather - related reasons, in which case the
points shall be shared.
If any cancellation takes place within 72 hours of the scheduled
fixture for reasons other than weather the game will be
automatically forfeit. However the fixture may be rearranged with
the consent of the opposition.
A Game in which a start is not possible or which is started but not
completed, due to the weather, shall be rearranged (not played)
within 7 days by mutual agreement. If a team is unable to fulfil a
fixture for whatever reason, the fixture can be rearranged with the
consent of the opposition. However, should the rearranged game fail
to be played for whatever reason, the team originally cancelling the
fixture will forfeit the points. The relevant Divisional Secretary
MUST be informed of any games cancelled and the rearranged date. All
league fixtures must be played in good time, to allow arrangements
to be put in place for the season’s divisional finals, usually
before 20th August. The relevant Divisional Secretary or if
necessary the full Management Committee will decide all
disputes.
