· Drop off rules will apply for all semi finals and finals games where a result is required.
DEFAULTS
· Defaults are taken seriously, as this is not fair on the opposition, Referees or Adminstrators.
· If your team is going to default a game you must give the Module Coordinator and the opposition at least 24 hours notice.
· A $20 default fee will be imposed on teams that do not give sufficient, or any notice.
· The team will not receive further competition points, until the default fee is paid.
· If your team is short of players, Touch Papamoa recommend that your team show up for a friendly game. No team likes showing up to find they have travelled to find no game at all, please be considerate. A referee may not be provided.
· Please note: A team will be considered to have defaulted should they not field a team within the first ten minute period of the game. For every two minutes that a team is late, one touchdown will be awarded against that team to a maximum of seven touchdowns.
DISPUTES/DISCIPLINE
· Due to the social and fun nature of our competitions, protests and appeals are a rarity. Most matters can usually be dealt with although we have a formal complaints procedure.
· An automatic two game suspension will be placed on any player who is ordered off the field by a Referee.
· Three sin bins on any one player will result in an automatic two game suspension.
· Touch Papamoa reserves the right to suspend any player whose conduct is in breach of the spirit of the game.
· Protests and appeals must be submitted in writing within 24 hours of the completion of the game or 30 minutes in events where 24 hours is not applicable i.e. finals.
· Important Note: Do not sign the scorecard if you have any disputes. Once the scorecard is signed decisions are final. Ask the referee to note your concerns on the score card.
