Late Commencement of Game
Should a team have insufficient numbers to play the game prior to the start of the match (minimum is 5), they have up to the end of the 1st quarter to get a team on crt. If by the end of the 1st quarter they cannot field a team – it will be considered a forfeit and the other team will win.
The opposing team will be awarded 1 goal for every minute the other team takes to commence the match.
Forfeits
Teams that forfeit on the night will still be liable for the game fee. This covers the cost of umpires attending on the night.
Forfeits that have 48 hours or more advanced notice, will not incur a forfeit fee.
Umpires
The umpires are there to help control the game and help players understand the rules.
If you have any questions – please ask them during the breaks with both umpires present.
Misconduct
Players whom are considered to not be playing within the Spirit of the Game, may be issues with a ‘Caution’ or ‘Warning’, or even ‘Sent Off’ court by the umpire.
These can be issued to players, for swearing, arguing with the umpires or general/deliberate rough play.
Complaints
All complaints are to be initially directed to the Co-ordinator/Office on the night/day. If necessary, this is to be followed up in writing if a solution cannot be found at the time.
Please do not wait until the end of the game to come and ask for help/assistance as we cannot do very much after the fact.
Injury Time / Blood Rule
Injury Time of up to 30 seconds per injury applies, however the clock will not be stopped as the matches are centrally timed. Teams are to make changes if required during this time and the injured player MUST leave the court.
If the position is left vacant, then the player can return to that position at the next centre pass. If the injury is serious – all care will be taken to ensure safety to the player first.
First Aid room supplies are available from the office as well as Ice available in the chest freezer in First Aid room.
If blood appears on a player (or their clothes), the equipment or surroundings, the game will be stopped on the Umpires whistle. The player bleeding must leave the court immediately and all other areas must be clean of blood before play can recommence.
