Wildcard Rules

[naby]

Please report your use of wildcards with the previous date and new date of the game in a new thread in this forum.

Rules regarding wildcards (PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING):

Code: Select all

Each team has 3 league wildcards they can use at any time during the season. It will be up to the captain wanting to use the wildcard and the captain of their opponents to discuss a suitable date to replay the game. Once a suitable date is arranged the captain must report the date change in the same thread.

Each team will be granted 1 additional wildcard for use in the cup only. You can not use a wildcard on the last game of the season. All final day games can not be postponed. All games that have been wildcarded must be played before the final day of your division.

Failure to play a fixture will result in the game being voided and both teams having -3 added to their goal difference.

All fixture changes must be reported the day before the game(midnight, British time will be the cut off). Failure to report a fixture change in time will result in the fixture going ahead anyway.

Wild carded games will have to be played two weeks after the scheduled date at the latest. If it is close to the two week limit and the game has not been rescheduled, admins will intervene to sort out a new date and time. If a game is wild carded near the end of the season, the game must be played before the final games of the season.

''All games that have been wildcarded must be played before the final day of your division.''

Some wildcarded games were played ON the final day last season, so can we get some clarification on whether it needs to be before the last day (i.e last day being sunday, all games having to be played before the saturday) or do they just have to be played on the final day (the sunday)

Yes, its very petty but there were some arguments last season iirc.

We allowed it last season because we'd let things go before that. This season, we'll stick to the rules as much as possible. After all, they're there for a reason.

Clarification is that no wildcarded fixtures will be allowed to be played on the final day. Failure to complete fixtures before the final day will result in both teams being awarded a 0:3 defloss.
