RAIN / WATERLOGGED PITCHES
In the event of rain, or any other factor which brings a stop to the original structure of the tournament, the organisers have the right to reschedule games or change the format of the tournament entirely.
In the event a game is called off (prior/during the fixture) due to bad weather and/or bad field conditions; and the game is unable to be replayed; the organisers reserve the right to consider the game as a “no-result” meaning that no points will be accumulated by either team.
The tournament organisers cannot be held responsible for the effects of mother nature and will do everything in their power to ensure the tournament goes ahead as scheduled and planned; entrants are reminded that their entry fee is non-refundable should the tournament – or team’s participation – be affected in any way whatsoever.
