8 NEUTRAL REFEREE’S ASSISTANTS
The assistance referred to below is best given by NEUTRAL REFEREE’S ASSISTANTS. A limitation is placed upon CLUB REFEREE’S ASSISTANTS, because points (2), (3) and (4) are not usually referred to Referee’s Assistants who are not neutral. In the case of Neutral Referee’s Assistants, they must be used as ASSISTANT REFEREES. It is appreciated that there must be a different attitude adopted by the referees in this case, because in effect, there are THREE officials supervising play. The Referee remains as principal official, but the Referee’s Assistants are there to assist him to control the game in a proper manner.
The Assistance
1. Signalling when the WHOLE of the ball is out of play. 2. Indicating WHICH side is entitled to the corner kick, the goal kick, or the throw-in. 3. Calling the attention of the Referee to rough play or unsporting behaviour. 4. Giving an opinion on any point on which the Referee may consult him. 5. Substitution. When a substitution is to be made, the Referee’s Assistant nearest to the point of substitution shall attract the attention of the Referee by raising his flag, as shown in the illustration included in “Signals by the Referee’s Assistant”.
CLUB REFEREE’S ASSISTANTS
To get the most effective co-operation from CLUB REFEREE’S ASSISTANTS, the following procedure should be adopted: 1. BOTH Club Referee’s Assistants should report to the Referee before the start of the match and receive instructions and be informed that, no matter what may be their personal opinion, the decision of the Referee is final and must not be questioned. 2. The work allocated to them as Club Referee’s Assistants is to signal when the ball is ENTIRELY over the touch line and to indicate which side is entitled to the throw-in, subject always to the decision of the Referee. Keeping in mind their distinctive duties outlined above, Referees should decide beforehand exactly what they want their Club Referee’s Assistants to do and be able to tell them distinctly how they can best help him. It is essential that there should be some conference between these three officials before the match. As the chief of this trio, the Referee must be able to indicate clearly to his assistants how they may best help him. His instructions must be specific, in order to avoid confusion. On their side, the Linesmen must fully appreciate the Referee’s prior authority and accept his rulings without question, should there be any difference of opinion amongst them. Their relationship to him must be one of assistance and neither under intervention nor opposition.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY The Football Association has ruled that Remembrance Sunday must be observed. All matches under the jurisdiction of this competition, as a mark of respect, are to observe a TWO MINUTE SILENCE immediately prior to the kick-off. Co-operation for this requirement would be anticipated and appreciated.
SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD Marks are awarded by Referees to Clubs during the season which are totalled and averaged. When deciding the Winner, the Committee will also consider the conduct record of all teams.

37 1. NOMENCLATURE AND CONSTITUTION
(A) “This Competition shall be designated “The Woolwich & Eltham Sunday Football Alliance” and shall consist of not more than eighty (80) Clubs, approved by the sanctioning authority.
MEMBERSHIP OF THE ALLIANCE IS BY INVITATION, WHICH WILL BE REVIEWED EVERY SEASON FOR EXISITING TEAMS (see Rule 5t).
All such Member Clubs must be affiliated to an affiliated County Football Association and their names and particulars shall be returned annually by the appointed date on the Form “D”, to the London County Football Association. The area covered by the Competition Membership shall be an area within a 10- mile radius of the league’s headquarters (The Meridian Sports and Social Club Ltd, Charlton Park Lane, London SE7 8QS). All teams shall have home venues situated within this radius and south of the River Thames. The Management Committee will rule on distance, where there is a dispute. The Competition shall apply annually for sanction to the London Football Association and the constituent teams of Member Clubs may be grouped in Divisions, not exceeding fourteen (14) in number”. Member Teams shall not enter any of their teams playing in the Competition in any other Competitions (with the exception of F.A. and County F.A. Competitions), except with the written consent of the Management Committee of the Competition. No more than one team from a Club can participate in the same Division.
(B) At the Annual General Meeting or a Special General Meeting called for the purpose, a majority of the delegates present shall have power to decide or adjust the compilation of the divisions. If necessary, this Rule shall take precedence over Rule 12.
(C) “This Competition shall only permit one team from a Club to participate in the same Division, unless there is no viable alternative, because of logistical issues and/or reasons linked to participation and geographical boundaries. The Competition will obtain prior approval of the sanctioning Association in the event of a Division comprising more than one team from the same Club. The Competition will ensure that, where permission is given, teams from a Club operating in the same Division are run as separate entities, with no interchange of players, other than via transfers of registration, in accordance with Competition Rules”. The Alliance and its Clubs shall support the FA’s “Respect” programme. As such, it recognises that everyone in football has a collective responsibility to create a fair, safe and enjoyable environment in which the game can take place. A “Respect” League values the contribution of match officials, players and spectators and ensures that they are treated with courtesy and fairness by opposing players, Club officials and spectators. The Alliance and its Clubs will seek to play fixtures in a fair, competitive, but non-antagonistic environment.
(D) Inclusivity and non-discrimination: (i) The Competition and each Member Club must be committed to promoting inclusivity and to eliminating all forms of discrimination. (ii) The Competition and each Member Club does not and must not (by its Rules or regulations) or in any name whatsoever, unlawfully discriminate against any person within the meaning and scope of the Equality Act 2010, or any law, enactment, order or regulation relating to discrimination (whether by age, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marital status, race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion or belief, ability or disability or otherwise). (iii) The Competition and each Member Club must make every effort to promote equality, by treating people fairly and with respect, by recognising that inequalities may exist, by taking steps to address them and by providing access and opportunities for all members of the community, irrespective of age, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marital status, race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion or belief, ability or disability or otherwise). (iv) Any alleged breach of the Equality Act 2010 legislation must be referred to the appropriate sanctioning Association for investigation.
38 (E) “This Competition wishes to become a designated Charter Standard League. Existing Member Clubs have two (2) years (until the end of the 2014-15 season) to achieve the Charter Standard Club award, or face expulsion from the Alliance. New Member Clubs have one (1) year to achieve the Charter Standard Club award. The Alliance has the right to refuse membership to a Club, if it fails to demonstrate commitment to achieving the award”.
2. ENTRY FEE, SUBSCRIPTION, DEPOSIT
(A) Applications to this Alliance, whether from newly-applying teams, or from existing Clubs who wish to enter an additional team, shall be accompanied by a £20 application fee. This shall be returned to the applicant in the event of non-election. If the application is successful, upon election to membership, the £20 application fee will form part of the goodwill fee. The Management Committee shall recommend or reject applicant(s), but a majority vote of two-thirds (2 to 1) of the accredited voting Members shall decide the inclusion into/exclusion from membership of recommended applicants. Applications may be received but not restricted to the AGM. The Management Committee will have the power to accept late applications, if the team meets the criteria and the Constitution permits inclusion.
(B) The Annual Subscription for continuing teams shall be £50.00 per team. For newly elected teams, the subscription shall be £ 60.00 - this for the first season of membership only, payable on or before the August General Meeting. This fee includes entrance fee for the season, two League Handbooks, entry fee for two Cup competitions and the registration of a team’s first 30 players. All existing Member Clubs and newly-elected Clubs who are recognised as Charter Standard Clubs will pay no Annual Subscription as long as their Charter Standard status is ongoing. Non Charter Standard Clubs will have until 31st December each season to complete their application and achieve CS qualification. Clubs qualifying by this date will have their Annual subscription credited to their account. This arrangement shall continue, so the same applies for each subsequent season.
(C) Teams shall not participate in this Competition until the Entry Fee, Annual Subscription and Deposit have been paid.
(D) Each Team must advise the League Secretary in writing, by the August General Meeting, their County Football Association affiliation number for the forthcoming season, failing which they shall be fined £10. Any affiliation NOT received by the League Secretary by the 15th August each year would result in that team being considered for exclusion from the constitution. Teams must advise the League Secretary in writing, or on the prescribed form, details of their Headquarters, Officers, and any other information required. Any changes to the above details are to be sent to the League Secretary and the Parent County FA within seven (7) days.
Note: Affiliations received after 15th August may render the Team liable to expulsion because FA and LFA regulations do not permit this Alliance to cast fixtures for an unaffiliated Club

Opposing teams who accept a late notification and play the match will not be permitted to claim.
(F) Every Team shall play its best available qualified team or teams in all matches in the Competition. (Note: The intention of this Rule is not to interfere with normal team selection by Teams, but to prevent them deliberately fielding a weakened team in order to unreasonably preserve players for another game or boost the strength of another or lower team. If, in the opinion of the Management Committee, the substance or the spirit of the Rule is obviously being disregarded, the team or teams concerned may be called to account for its/their actions and shall be subject to such decisions as the Management Committee may determine, despite the fact that Rule 8 has not been infringed.)

If a team fields only 6 players, a match cannot start. Similarly, if during a match, a team is reduced to 6 players by either injury, disciplinary action or other circumstances, the match should not continue and should be abandoned immediately. The circumstances should be reported by both Teams and the referee, where appointed by the League, to the Management Committee.

ii) If you are the HOME TEAM and withdraw after noon on the Thursday prior to the match (or Sunday 8pm for a midweek fixture) = the away team is awarded the match, 0-0 scoreline (walkover in a cup tie), HOME team charged £10 for non-fulfilment of fixture, an additional charge of £50 for loss of revenue by the away team, plus any referee costs dependent on when notification of the fixture was given (See Rule 13(F)
iii) If you are the AWAY TEAM and withdraw before noon on the Thursday prior to the match (or Sunday 8pm for a midweek fixture) = the home team is awarded the match, 0-0 scoreline (walkover in a cup tie); the AWAY team charged £10 for non-fulfilment of fixture and an additional charge of £50 for loss of revenue by the home team.
Note: Cancellation of the permit is the sole responsibility of the home team as no permit costs will be awarded in this scenario.
iv) If you are the AWAY TEAM and withdraw after noon on the Thursday prior to the match (or Sunday 8pm for a midweek fixture) = the home team is awarded the match, 0-0 scoreline (walkover in a cup tie); the AWAY team charged £10 for non-fulfilment of fixture, an additional charge of £50 for loss of revenue by the home team, any referee costs dependent on when notification of the withdrawal was given (See Rule 13F) plus the permit costs if the home team is unable to cancel their pitch due to the late notification up to the maximum of £90.
50 Note: Rule 10G(d): A receipt of the permit invoice for that specific date will be required within seven (7) days for re-imbursement of the permit costs otherwise the claim will be void

vi) A Club with more than one team in the Competition shall always fulfil its fixture, within the Competition in the following order of precedence: First (A) Team, Reserve (B) team. Teams in breach of this requirement shall be fined a sum decided by the Management Committee, or otherwise dealt with by the Management Committee. Any Team unable to fulfil a fixture must, without delay, give notice to the Fixtures Secretary, The Referees Secretary, the Secretary of the opposing Team and match officials. Any Team failing to comply shall be dealt with by the Management Committee who will inflict a financial penalty.
vii) In the event of a match not being played or abandoned owing to causes over which neither Team has control, it shall be played in its entirety on a date to be approved by the Management Committee. Notice of the abandonment must be given to the Fixtures Secretary by both Teams on the day of the match and also to the Results Secretary by phoning in, stating that the game has been abandoned and giving the score at the time of the abandonment (or postponed as the case may be). Both teams shall write to the League General Secretary within four (4) days explaining the reason for this postponement/abandonment (e-mail is acceptable).
viii) The Management Committee shall review all abandoned matches in cases where it is consequent upon the conduct of either or both teams. Where it is to the advantage of the Competition and does no injustice to either Team, they shall be empowered to order the score at the time of the abandonment to stand.
ix) In all cases where the Management Committee is satisfied that a match was abandoned owing to the conduct of one team or its Club member(s), they shall be empowered to award the points for the match to the opponents.
x) In cases where a match has been abandoned owing to the conduct of both teams, or their Club member(s), the Management Committee shall rule all the points for the match as void. No fines can be applied by the Management Committee.
xi) The Management Committee shall review any match that has taken place where either or both teams were under a suspension imposed upon them by the Association or affiliated Association. In each case, the team that was under suspension would be dealt with in the same manner as if they had participated with ineligible players, in accordance with Rule 8 (I) above. Where both teams were under suspension, the game must be declared null and void.Such action is subject to appeal under League Rule 16 and/or any other action taken by the appropriate County Football Association. In addition, written reports must be submitted to the League General Secretary within 4 days of the match - failure to report in writing will also attract a fine of £5.
ALL MATCH RESULTS MUST BE REPORTED TO THE RESULTS SECRETARY, INCLUDING ABANDONMENTS/POSTPONEMENTS ON THE DAY AND CUP FINALS.
51 (H) A Team may, at its discretion (and in accordance with the Laws of Association Football) use substitute players, a maximum of three, in any match in this Competition. All such substitute players, a maximum of three, must be selected from 5 substitute players whose names must have been notified to the referee before the start of the match. No player shall be accepted as a substitute unless his name has been supplied to the referee before the match commences. A player who has been selected, appointed or named as a substitute before the start of the match but does not actually play in the game shall not be considered to have been a player in that game within the meaning of ‘eligibility’ in Rule 8 of that particular competition
(I) If fixtures are arranged late, or altered, or any other problems concerning match arrangements, the Teams must keep the Fixtures Secretary, match official(s) and opponents fully informed of the situation. They must contact all parties no later than the Tuesday prior to the match and any further details must be confirmed to all parties by the Thursday preceding the match. If the kick off time of a scheduled match is different from a 10:30am kick off (except for Cup Finals) then the Fixtures Secretary must obtain written confirmation from both affected teams of their acceptance of this change with a copy of such records sent to the League Secretary. No fixture can be cast without the member team’s acceptance of this change. Member clubs are advised that due to inclement weather, pitch availability and exceptional circumstances, the kick off time may be moved on a pro-rata basis but verbal communication (email sent is not accepted in this case as confirmed notice) will be the primary contact method.
(J) No team shall be compelled to play on Easter Sunday, unless they are notified 7 days before of the potential fixture and give their agreement to it. Any Team not wishing to play on a specific date must make a written application (a “no-game request”) to the Fixtures Secretary at least 28 days before the date they wish not to play. (This does not apply to Cup Finals, where no dispensation will be granted). Applications within this limit will not be considered. Teams may submit only two such requests per season, unless evidence of extraordinary circumstances can be provided (bereavement, etc). (Note: Wedding parties, “stag” weekends or other pre-arranged social arrangements will NOT be permitted as a reason for not playing without due notice – all such events are inevitably subject to planning and such dates should be well-known to a Club, therefore allowing ample time to submit a “no-match” request).
(K) When the home team plays on the away Club’s Permit, the cost of the permit must be paid for on the day. Teams in default will be fined £10. The defaulting team will have until noon on Thursday to settle the outstanding permit cost. Failure to do so will result in immediate suspension in line with rule 5(M) plus levied with any additional costs incurred borne from the awarded match.
(L) The Competition shall require all players and Club Officials to have signed the FA’s “Respect” Codes of Conduct and produce these if so requested by the Management Committee. The participating clubs taking part in the fixture shall identify a team captain designated with a captain’s armband who has a responsibility to offer support in the management of the on-field discipline of his/her team mates. Prior to each match, the participating teams and officials shall conduct the “Respect” handshake.
11. RESULTS, REPORT FORMS
(A) The Registrations Secretary must receive a fully completed Team Sheet within 4 days of the date of a fixture being played. Each team will also be required to complete their team sheet on the Alliance’s website within 4 days of the match (Mitoo): http://football.mitoo.co/News.cfm?LeagueCode=WESAL2014&NB=0 The hard copy must still be sent to the Registrations Secretary to verify an accurate input on the website. Failure to do so will attract a fine of £20. A fully completed Team sheet for each Competition match (including Cup Finals) should be received from both participating teams. Failure to provide a fully completed Team sheet will incur a fine of £5. In the absence of an original, a duplicate must be provided and forwarded to the Registrations Secretary. In this case, the original fine will stand – there will be no reduction in fine for the supply of a duplicate team sheet.
52 Team sheets must include the initial(s) and surname of the team players (in BLOCK LETTERS), registration number of ALL players to be shown in the space provided, AND ALL Misconduct. (player names should be PRINTED). The Referee’s marks as required by Rule 13 and any other information required by the Competition on the team sheet.
(B) Home Teams shall telephone/text/email, the Results Secretary before 5pm on the day of the match, or as directed by the Management Committee from time to time. For midweek games, results shall be communicated by 9.00pm on the day of the match. Teams failing to do so may be fined £5. Subsequent offences will be fined at a rate of £10.
(C) Team officials should sign their opponents’ Team sheet to confirm they have checked their opponents’ players’ photo-registration counterfoils. Any team not able to produce their players’ registrations on request will immediately forfeit the fixture and may be liable to any costs incurred.
NO PHOTO CARDS - NO GAME - THIS IS THE RULE FOR EVERY MATCH
In the event of a dispute, the signed Team sheet will be the definitive item and will nullify any protest regarding the qualification of a player. (However, this will not necessarily prevent the Officers investigating a claim or protest). If a Team has elected to sign the team sheet as confirmation when their opposition’s photo-registrations were not available, then they have waived their right to protest.
12. DETERMINING CHAMPIONSHIP
(A) Team rankings will be decided by points, with 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. The teams gaining the highest number of points in their respective Divisions at the conclusion shall be adjudged the winners. Matches must not be played for double points. In the event of two or more teams having an equal points total in the same division, rankings shall be decided in the following order:- (1) Goal difference (2) Goals scored. (3) Team that has won most matches. (4) Results between the teams during the league season. (5) A deciding match, played under conditions determined by the Management Committee.

Where a team has completed 75% of its fixtures, points of any un-played game(s) may be awarded to the non–defaulting opponents. The definition of a completed fixture is one that has been cast, published on Mitoo, and where the original fixed date for that fixture has passed, other than where a fixture is not completed due to adverse weather conditions.

An individual thus agreed upon, shall for that game, have the full powers, status and authority of a registered referee. Individuals under the age of 16 must not participate either as a referee of assistant referee in any open age Competition. In all Cup matches, where an officially appointed Referee fails to appear, teams may mutually agree on a referee. If agreement is not reached, then the teams shall share the cost of the pitch.

(Note: Parts of this Rule may be subject to ratification/legislation)
(C) The Management Committee may, if considered appropriate, or if requested by the two competing Teams, appoint Assistant Referees to any match. When Assistant Referees are not appointed, each Team shall provide a Team Assistant. Failure to do so will incur a fine of £5 to the defaulting team.

If the Club provides such assistance, this MUST be accepted by the Referee and cannot be declined. If the Referee does not accept such assistance then the club will have the right to refuse to play the fixture and must report such circumstances to the League Secretary and Fixtures Secretary within the allotted time period for such correspondence.
(D) The appointed Referee shall have power to decide as to the fitness of the ground in all matches and the Referees decision shall be final. (The referee’s decision shall be subject to the decisions of the pitch provider or their representative(s). Their decision not to play must be accepted).
(E) Subject to any limits/provisions laid down by the sanctioning Association, match Officials appointed under this Rule shall be paid a match fee (as shown below), inclusive of travel expenses.

Where a match is not played owing to one Team being in default, that Team shall be ordered to pay the Official(s), (if they attend the ground), the full fee(s).
(G) A Referee arriving late or failing to keep their engagement and failing to give a satisfactory explanation as to their late or non-appearance, or whose conduct brings the Alliance and/or the game into disrepute should be reported to the Referees’ Secretary, who will investigate and take action as necessary. The referee may be denied appointments to Alliance matches for a period to be determined by the Management Committee. The referee may have his/her name removed from the list of Referees and the fact reported to the Association with which he is registered.
54 (H) Each Team shall, as required by The Football Association, award marks to the Referee for each match. The Referees’ Secretary is authorised to obtain a written explanation from teams, if this is 60 (sixty) or less. Teams failing to comply with this Rule will be fined (see Rule 11A), or dealt with as the Management Committee decide. The Competition shall keep a record of the markings. The marks awarded will be submitted annually to the County Association on the Form they provide.
(I) The referee must submit a report Form, supplied by the Competition, giving the result of the match, the number of players in each team, the time of kick-off, together with any disciplinary measures taken and any other such details that may be determined by the officers, to the Referees’ Secretary within TWO DAYS OF THE MATCH. (This brings the reporting of misconduct in line with that of County Associations) Regular dispatch of these cards after each match is essential for League records.
(J) A referee MUST report all cautions and/or sendings off to the appropriate County Association within the statutory periods. Any referee failing to do so will be reported to his County of Affiliation for appropriate action.
(K) All referees will be supplied with a copy of the Competition Handbook / Rules. Referees and Assistant Referees shall have undertaken a Respect briefing offered by the FA/County FA or the League.

(M) GUIDELINES TO MARKING OF A REFEREE TO F.A. SCALES
100-86: The Referee demonstrated very accurate decision-making and controlled the game very well using management and communication skills effectively to add value to the game.
85-76: The Referee demonstrated very accurate decision-making and controlled the game very well using management and communication skills to contribute positively to the game
75-61: The Referee demonstrated reasonably accurate decision-making and despite some shortcomings, generally controlled the game well.
60 or less: The Referee demonstrated shortcomings in the accuracy of decision-making and control which affected the game.
When marking a referee, emphasis should be given to the complete performance, not one or two isolated or controversial incidents, even if you feel you lost the game because of a particular decision. Where marks are seriously inconsistent between two teams in the same match, the Referees’ Secretary may call the teams to explain their marking(s).
Remember - win with dignity, lose with grace and always display a sporting attitude.
If a Team marks a referee 60 or less, a written report of explanation for the low mark, either by letter or email, should be sent to the Referees’ Secretary and Assistant Referee Secretary, within 4 days of the match. Failing to submit this report will be deemed as failing to deal with League business.
(N) All Referees must acknowledge appointments to the Home Secretary upon receipt, by the Thursday prior to the game. This can be done, if possible, by email. Referees should notify the Referees’ Secretary by Thursday prior to the game, if they have NOT been contacted by the Home Club. In such circumstances, the referee may be withdrawn and reallocated to another fixture.
55 (O) The Referees’ Secretary shall have the option to appoint assistant referees in cases where it is judged that it would benefit the Competition. When appointing assistants, the Referees’ Secretary shall advise the two Clubs in writing, at least 48 hours before the match, of his reason(s)/justification for placing assistants on their match. A request by one Club for Assistants to be appointed will be sufficient to place 2 additional officials on a match (if available), irrespective of the view of their opponents. In this case, normal Rules will apply (each team pays for 1 assistant). Match fees for appointed assistants shall be paid by the Clubs on match day and will be: i) Reimbursed to the Club’s account, if appointed by the Referees’ Secretary. ii) Paid for by the Clubs on the day, if requested by the Club(s), with no reimbursement. iii) Paid for by the Clubs on the day in cases where they were placed there by the Referees’ Secretary as a safeguard to the reputation of the Alliance and the game itself, with no reimbursement.
Separate conditions apply in Cup Competitions - please refer to Rule 24 and PCC Rules.

(H) The draw for this Competition will be made at the September League General Meeting. Each member will be provided with a copy of the draw. All ties must be played on the date notified and according to the draw, save for weather conditions, when a tie must be re-scheduled. If convenient and mutually agreed, the team’s tie may be played mid-week. Precedence of other competitions scheduled for the same date as a tie in this competition will only involve a re-scheduling of the tie in this competition, if deemed convenient, by the Officers of the Competition. Otherwise, a member team failing to fulfil a scheduled tie will be excluded from further participation, the tie being awarded to their scheduled opponents. Any such decision taken in the interests of the competition will not incur any financial penalty.
(I) Officers of the competition will determine the venue, date and kick-off time for final ties, bearing all expenses for the Finals. The final tie apart, expenses for all ties will be shared equally between the competing teams; the home team will be considered to be the first-named of the member teams in all ties, including the final tie, irrespective of the venue concerned, and subject to the rules of competition and the ground authority.
(J) Any team failing to compete in a scheduled tie must provide written explanation of default to the League General Secretary within four days of the scheduled event. Upon investigation by Officers, defaulting teams will be liable to a fine of £10 plus any other costs listed under Rule 10(G)(a)(b)(c)(d).
(K) Officers of the competition may call a special meeting at any time it may be considered necessary, and will give seven days notice of such meetings with details of the agenda. Notice may be dispensed with upon approval of 66% of accredited member delegates present (a minimum of 30 delegates must be in attendance and able to vote) in the interests of the competition.
(L) Officers of the competition will be trustees of the funds and property of the competition. As allowed by the accumulated funds of the competition from time to time a donation will be made to various charities. Where any of the foregoing rules is at variance with the rules of the Woolwich & Eltham Sunday Football Alliance, the rules under this section will take precedence for the purposes of the Plumstead Challenge Cup in accordance with paragraph (B) above.
(M) The Teams qualifying for the Final will be required to purchase 18 Cup Final programmes at a discounted price, the cost of which will be reviewed from time to time.
