The manager or team captain is to also pay the match fee at least 10 minutes prior to kick-off. The game will not commence until the scoresheet has been completed and the match fee has been paid. It is essential that games run strictly to time. All teams must provide an approved FIFA Match Ball to the appointed referee 2 minutes before commencement of their game. Teams not able to provide a match ball for their game may forfeit that game.
Forfeits are unfair on the opposition who turn up expecting to play a game that they have paid for.
It is the team's responsibility to ensure that they have enough players to take the court. Teams will not be permitted to take the court unless the required match fee has been paid. A forfeit will be recorded against teams that do not meet this requirement. Players whose names appear on the team registration form submitted at the start of the competition are registered once all registration fees and insurance premiums have been paid. NEW players must pay the required registration fee and fill out an individual registration form before they can obtain an ID card to take the field of play in Autumn 00.
