2. Substitutes are allowed (not during the course of a match) but are restricted
to playing for just one team during the season.
3. Each team will play eight matches (maximum), which will be randomly drawn from the competition entrants.
No team will play the same team twice.
Fixture cards will be displayed on the club competition notice board when drawn.

play a fixture at any time earlier than the published date or up to forty-eight hours after the published

only, provided the request is made within the above period.
If a match cannot be played within the above period then the Competition Secretary can rule in favour of
a team, provided a request is made within the above period. A successful ruling will result in eight points
being awarded to the favoured team and one point to the un-favoured team.
