Mentone Mustangs Club Policy – Forfeits and Walkovers

A forfeit shall be declared a notified forfeit when Mentone Mustangs notifies the forfeiting team to the Association in writing at least seven (7) days prior to match time. In this instance, no fines or penalties will be incurred. If less than seven (7) days notice is given, a penalty of $130.00 will apply.

The Club will honour the first fine on behalf of the forfeiting team on the understanding that there is a legitimate reason.

Thereafter, teams who have had a walkover declared against them will be fined $130. The fine must be paid within seven (7) days of the walkover match or prior to the next fixtured game (whichever is sooner). If the fine remains unpaid, no premiership points shall be awarded to that team and each subsequent game will be declared a 20-0 walkover.

Any team registering more than three (3) walkovers will be disqualified from the competition. Players in the disqualified team are ineligible to play with any other team affiliated with the Association until the outstanding walkover fines are paid.
