Rules

1. All teams must be on the pitch and ready to play at the time the fixture has been scheduled for. All teams must bring along a pumped up ball. If either of these criteria are not met the offending team can be deducted one goal at the discretion of the referee. If a team is not ready to play after 10 minutes, then that team can be deducted two goals and if a team isnt ready to play after 15 minutes then a walkover can be claimed by the other team.
   
   
2. Each team is allowed seven(7 A-Side) or Five(5 A-Side) players on the pitch at any time. Substitutions can be made on a roll on - roll off manner where the players can come on and off as many times as they like. Substitutions must be made while the ball is out of play and may not be used to waste time. If any team is found to be abusing the substitution system intentionally (i.e. having more than seven players on the pitch), in the referees opinion, then the offending team can be reduced by one player for the remainder of the match.
   
   
3. Teams  cannot play players who have already played for another team in the same league. If this happens they will forfeit the match.
   
   
4. The primary purpose of these leagues is for everybody to enjoy them selves as much as possible. Even though these are competitive leagues, we would also like to keep them as sporting as possible. For this reason we have introduced a cap on the number of goals one team can defeat another by. Once one team goes ten goals ahead, the remaining goals scored by both teams will no longer be counted.
   
   
5. Sliding tackles are not allowed.
   
   
6. All players on each team must wear the same colour jerseys, failure to do this will result in the opposition being awarded a goal at the start of the match. Each team is also required to have a set of bibs in case of colour clashes.
   
   
7. In the event of a tie at the end of a league, positions will be decided on the following criteria:
   1. Points in the games involving the teams in the tie.
   2. Goal difference in the games involving the teams in the tie.
   3. Goals scored in the games involving the teams in the tie.
   4. Overall goal difference.
   5. Overall goals scored.
   
   
8. A yellow card offence means five minutes in the "sin bin". This means that the player in question must leave the pitch without being substituted and  that his team will be reduced by one player for five minutes. Two yellow cards constitute a red card. The player in question will then have to leave the pitch for the remainder of the match.
