League Officers may be contactable outside of this on mobile phone numbers or via email. If any club details change (ie Manager, Kit, Ground) you must inform the League Secretary immediately and this will be forwarded on to all clubs. Referee Appointments (Bedfordshire Teams) - These will be made for the Age Groups U16 - U12 through the Central Appointments Scheme managed by Mike Desborough. All referee appointment enquiries should be directed to Mike - [email protected] or 07803 623374 Referee Appointments (Other CFA Teams) - Clubs will be required to make their own referee appointments in line with Bucks Girls League Rules. These can be qualified or unqualified depending on availability. Changing facilities & toilets should be available at all age groups – if this is not provided please ensure that you inform your opponents when confirming the game. If clubs have concerns over any venue being used then they should inform the League Secretary immediately. Kick Off for all games will be between 9:30am-11:15am with the default time of 10:30am. This can only be altered with the agreement of both clubs and any change notified to the League Secretary. Where there is no agreement the Home Club must provide a ground for a kick off between 9:30am-11:15am. Player Registrations must have been submitted to the league by 5pm on Friday via the WGS, have been approved and the player showing on full-time to be eligible to play on the Saturday (for mid-week matches by 5pm on the day before). Teams shall provide their registration sheet to their opposition on request, this could be a hard copy or an electronic version. Any eligibility queries should be raised pre- match with your opposition and then advised to the League immediately following the match. Teams may request 3 Free Weeks during the season giving at least 14 days notice of such. Where teams have any issues fulfilling a match due to players school commitments (Trips or school sports) they should give notice to the league at the earliest opportunity and the league will make a decision on whether a postponement can be granted which will not count as a free week. Short Teams & Large Scorelines Teams are reminded that Goal Difference is not a deciding factor in Youth Football and therefore in all games managers should not be attempting to inflict large scorelines on their opposition. If a Team is not going to be able to raise enough players they should advise their opponents as soon as possible so that they are aware. Where a team starts short of the usual number of players it is expected that their opponents will also drop to match that number. Teams must at least play with the minimum number of players. Age Group(s) Usual No. Min. No. of Players Of Players U8 & U9 5 4 U10 & U11 7 5 U12 & U13 9 6 U14 - U16 11 7 Should a team drop below the usual number of players during the game then depending on the scoreline at the time it is also expected that opponents would drop to that number (except if the reason for the reduction in players is down to a player being sent off). It is not the intention to disadvantage the team with more players. Should they go a goal down then they will be allowed to add an additional player to the field, after each goal they can add players until such time as they reach the usual no. of players for the game, should they take the lead in the game then all additional players should be removed. During the second half if the scores are level or the team only has a 1 goal advantage then they will be able to add,
