SCHEDULING & POSTPONED MATCHES (continued)

5. Every effort should be made to avoid a postponement, for a team requesting a postponement they should notify the opposing team captain at least 4 hours prior to the match date and starting time. Giving less than 4 hours of advanced notice to the opposing team captain, can result in a forfeiture for that scheduled match.

Protests must be presented to the league representative, who will then set up a meeting for all the team captains (excluding the two teams involved in the protest) the team captains will decide the validity of the protest.
