      • Rescheduling matches earlier – ok if both captains agree and results are in before the penalties kick in. The official match date doesn’t change.
      • Rescheduling matches later – ok if both captains and the league secretary agrees. Fixture date needs to be updated on the system.
      • What to do if the team points scores are the same at the end of the season
      • Need full team to qualify for bonus points
