MINIMUM SQUAD SIZES
If a team fails to field a minimum squad size then the team forfeits the game and the opponents win by a 2:0 victory. Minimum squad sizes for 11-aside games are 8 players and for 7-aside games 5 players.
DOUBLE BANKERS
If we are unable to play a game due to the weather it may be necessary to play a ‘double banker’ in order to complete the season.
This is where each 25 minute period counts as a game in its own right thereby producing two separate results. At half time (12.5 minutes) the teams will swap sides and continue with no break/team talk from the Managers (Managers should not enter the field of play except to take over refereeing if applicable). Substitutions must be done at half time (12.5 minutes) for those leagues that do not have roll on / roll off subs. Once the first game has completed (25 minutes) the teams can take a short break as per normal before commencing the second game.
WOODLAND CREATURES & BRAVES LEAGUES
In accordance with FA rules the Woodland Creatures and Braves Leagues will be non-competitive. This means that there will be no League tables or Cup competition. At the end of the season all players will be presented with a medal.
