If a Pair has difficulty contacting the other Pair they must contact the Div Reps or Committee for assistance.
In general, if results are not received before the cut-off then neither Pair will go through to the next round.  However, the Committee may overturn this decision if a Pair proves they have made attempts to arrange the match and they have escalated to the Div Reps/Committee beforehand.

MATCH RULES
For All Matches - If BOTH Pairs (playing each other) have opted to play Black Ball Rules they will play Black Ball Rules.   ALL OTHER matches will be played using our League Rules.

In the event of a dispute during a match, Pairs must refer to the rules (available on our website) for clarification.  If the dispute is not covered by the rules contact the Div Reps/Committee.

NOTE – FOR ROUNDS 1-3, THE FIRST PAIR DRAWN WILL BE DESIGNATED THE HOME PAIR AND THE MATCH MUST TAKE PLACE AT THEIR TEAM VENUE UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED.

REFEREES CAN BE USED FROM THE QUARTER FINALS STAGE ONWARDS.
