Rules

In the event of a forfeit due to extreme circumstances, such as weather conditions stopping a game, pitch damage, etc. There should be no costs to either team incurred, and the game will need to be rescheduled and agreed between both managers a suitable date with similar kick off time.

Where games are forfeited for avoidable reasons such as player numbers, a reschedule can be considered if agreed between both team managers and the league. However, the team being let down has the right to claim a 5-0 forfeit where rescheduling is not possible for them. Games agreed as forfeits can not be reversed the decision once agreed is final.

In the event a forfeit is put forward for an agreed fixture with more than 14 days' notice, no charges would be incurred. In the event less than 14 days' notice is given but more than 7 days, the cost would be split 50/50 for the pitch hire (In the event the away team is forfeiting). If 7 days or less notice is given the team having to forfeit is responsible for incurring 100% of the pitch costs if a refund cannot be retrieved from the venue.
