Timings
It is crucial that timings are strictly adhered to. If any game is running over time the siren will sound to end the half at the scheduled time, regardless of whether the full 15 minutes have been played or not. Ensure that your team is ready to go and warmed up to enter the field of play as soon as the umpires of the previous game have left the ground.
Competition Rules:
The Laws of Australian Football 2013 will be enforced throughout the carnival, except where described below.
Modified rules similar to those used in the NAB Cup will also apply, and are described as follows:
9 Point Super Goals will be paid for goals scored from outside the attacking 50 metre line.
A player awarded a 50m penalty outside of the 50m line will be given the option of attempting a 9 point Super Goal kicked from the 50m line, or a 6 point goal kicked from the mark set.
Where the ball goes "Out of Bounds", it is to be kicked in by the opposite team to that who last touched the football.
Where the umpire is unsure of the last player to touch the football prior to it going "Out of Bounds", it is to be "Thrown Up" by the umpire 10 metres toward the centre circle from the boundary line.
The rule relating to the
"rushed behind" will be enforced throughout the carnival, and through the 2014 Home and Away Season.
All players must be registered with their relevant Football League, with all interclub (Mackay League based) transfers being first cleared by their previous club.
any player wanting an intra-state or inter-state clearance is eligible to play providing a request for transfer has been submitted through Footyweb.
The normal Laws of Australian Football relating to the Reporting (Law 19) and Sending-Off (Law 20) of players will be strictly enforced.
Under Law 20.4, a player "ordered-off" (red card) shall not play for the remainder of the Carnival.

The player may be replaced in subsequent matches.
Under Law 20.5, a player "ordered-off" (yellow card) shall leave the playing surface for the remainder of the current quarter. During this time, the player may be replaced.

Any player serving a suspension is NOT permitted to enter on to any part of the playing arena at any time while the Carnival is being convened.
Games will commence at their scheduled starting time. If one of either team are not ready to start, a free kick shall be awarded to the first team ready to start after this time.
Each club captain shall ensure that their team is warmed up and ready to take the field
immediately following the umpires of the previous game leaving the playing surface.

Both club captains are to report to the Ground Marshal
10 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time of each game for the toss of the coin and selection of ends.
