Post-Match Regulations...

Issue 15 - 7th April 2019
Results...
...are updated on GMS every Sunday evening - by our willing Volunteers.
Late Results make additional work... and the volunteers a little less willing.
1. Reporting Results...
- It is good practice to check the score with the Referee.
- Also agree the score with your Opposite Number.
- You could even text in your result as you leave the field of play....
Many Managers do !!
2a. LEAGUE MATCH Results...
- Both Team Managers MUST report Results by TEXT.
- Text to your League Secretary, preferably immediately after the game.
- Text Results before 6pm Sunday latest.
- Results TEXT Numbers are detailed on your LeagueSecs page.
- NB: Do NOT send any other text messages to the Results Numbers.
- SEE THIS Example Text
Save your LeagueSec's RESULTS TEXT No. in your phone.
Send yourself a Test Text - This can then be used as a template for future weeks. Just forward and edit it when your game is over.
- Postponed games must also be reported back by TEXT...
before 6pm Sunday.
2b. LEAGUE CUP Results...
- TEXT to the League Hon Fixtures Secretary...
- State the Cup Competition (CUP / PLATE / SHIELD / BOWL)...

3. MATCH CARD Results...
- Match Cards must be completed in line with the Match Card Regs.
- Match Cards must be handed to the Referee before each match.
- Both Managers must send their own Match Card to the League by eMail - before Monday 6pm. per the Match Card Regs.
- NB: No need to copy your LeagueSec - they automatically receive a copy.
4. Failure To Report a Result...
...Causes extra work for your LeagueSecs and delays the production of the Results & League Tables.
Please therefore ensure your results are submitted on time.
Sanctionable offences include:
- Late / None Texted Match Results...
- Late / None Reported Postponements...
- Late Match Cards...
- Match Cards sent as .JPG's...
Repeat offenders will be dealt with as deemed appropriate by the League Committee...
5. Red Cards...
- Referees are obliged to submit a Sending off Report to the County Disciplinary Secretary when they have issued a Red Card.
- NB: Referees can issue Red Cards to miscreants before during or after a Colts League match.
- Managers must check Red Cards are marked on the Match Card.
- You should also notify Red Cards to your own Senior Club Secretary.
- The Disciplinary Regulations detail further information.
- Always look after your Referee, who is a guest of your Club... and you might meet him again !!
