1 2 SUSSEX CLUB CHARTER AND CODE OF CONDUCT

As a Club, we acknowledge that we shall use our best endeavours to conduct ourselves at all levels and at all times in a disciplined manner, observing fair play according to the Laws of the Game and a sporting spirit.

To maintain the ethos of the game this shall include but not limited by the following:

• A fair and equable treatment for all our rugby members which shall extend to all members of our opponent clubs.

• A fostering of excellence in our style of play, club relationships and integration into the local community

• To arrange to play both home and away fixtures in equivalent proportions

• By honouring all our fixtures, which may entail using our good relations with neighbouring clubs to arrange to pooling of players without enticement to leave their existing clubs.

• To be equitable in our arrangements with the clubs contributing to the pool, by providing players to and utilising players from the pool in equal proportion.

• In the eventuality of not being able to raise a full side even with the pooled players, to communicate with our opponents in good time and agree to play the game by sharing the available players.

• By ensuring that all our club members and associated spectators respect the roles of the officials appointed to the game. To be intolerant of any abuse or physical harm to the officials or their property. To extend to them a welcome to our club and an encouragement to be involved in the after match companionship in our game.

• To set an example to young players be refraining from dissent of decisions by the game officials and the use of language of a profane obscene or expletive nature.

• To communicate with the Member Clubs and the Management Committees of the Union in a prompt and efficient manner to ensure the effective and timely management of the organisation of Rugby Football within the Sussex Union

3 From the President: Ken Nichols It is a great honour to have been elected as Sussex President and to accept this prestigious position though this is tinged with sadness having taken over from Kenny before he had the opportunity to complete his official term in office. It will be big shoes to try to fill. Over the past two seasons Sussex Rugby has seen a wonderful resurgence on the pitch with both Worthing now playing in National 1 and East Grinstead reaching National League status. Brighton reached the RFU Intermediate Cup Final at Twickenham winning by 30-22 against Bridlington. Other Clubs have been promoted as winners of their respective Leagues and as a County we are in a strong position. This is due to the excellent coaching systems clubs have in place and put alongside the hard work from club committees and unsung heroes, the volunteers; it all seems to be falling into place. At Twickenham in February four ex-Sussex Schoolboys were playing for England against Scotland – Billy Twelvetrees was called as a late replacement for the British Lions in Australia. As a CB we are, with hard work from the County Executive, in a wonderful position for the World Cup and have been awarded 2 matches at the Brighton Amex Stadium in September 2015. This gives us a great opportunity to take the game of Rugby Union into Schools, Clubs and Universities to use as a vehicle for player recruitment in Sussex, along with sponsorship for your Clubs. I will try to get and see as many games as possible at as many venues as possible during the season. So enjoy your forthcoming season, train hard, play with fairness and enthusiasm, meet with old rivals in the bar always remembering to show total respect to the match officials and their decisions as they want to enjoy the game as much as you the players.

RULES FOR THE SUSSEX KNOCKOUT COMPETITIONS 2013 - 2014 1. The Competition shall be known as the Sussex Knock-out Competitions, and shall consist of two series, one of four levels, – Sussex Trophy, The Bob Rogers Cup, Sussex Shield, and Sussex Plate; and one of three levels - Sussex Bowl, Sussex Vase and Sussex Salver. Entry for Clubs allocated to Sussex RFU, or whose main affiliation is Sussex RFU, is voluntary. Applications for new entrants must be received by the Organiser by 1st June of the preceding season. 2. Eligibility is restricted to fully paid-up players registered to the Club, or, where registration is not required, regular paid-up playing members of the Club. Should a player be a bone fide regular playing member of two clubs, they will be ineligible to play for a lower League Club in a Sussex Knock-Out Competition if they have played 1st XV league rugby for the higher League Club in the same season. 3. Clubs entering teams in competitions below 1st XV level should only include players who regularly play at that level or below. A player who has played in a Sussex or RFU Knock Out Competition at a higher level (other than as a replacement) is deemed to be a player at that higher level and may not play subsequently at a lower level in the same season. Clubs fielding ineligible players will be withdrawn from the Competition. 4. The County Competitions Committee shall appoint an Organiser(s), who will arrange the Draws, collate the results, and deal with any disputes. Subject to the approval by the Competitions Committee, the Organiser shall determine the level at which Clubs enter the competitions, and any necessary byes, seeding or additional rounds. The Competitions Committee shall, at the request of the Organiser, or in its own right, suspend, apply a playing sanction, or withdraw a Club for misconduct or contravention of the rules. 5. A Club shall have the right to appeal the outcome of a match to the Chairman of the Competitions Committee, in writing, within seven days from the date of the

41 match. A Club shall further have the right to appeal a decision of the Organiser to the Chairman of the Competitions Committee, in writing, within seven days from the date of the decision. In the event that an appeal to the County Competitions Committee is rejected, a Club shall have the further right of appeal to the County Executive Committee, in writing, within seven days and on payment of an administration charge of £50.00 that will be returned if the appeal is upheld. A Club shall have the right to be represented when its case is considered before the County Executive Committee. As this is an internal County Competition, there is no further right of appeal. 6. The draw for the first and preliminary rounds of each Competition will normally be made at the meeting following the AGM. The Draws will consist of all eligible Clubs, excluding those who have opted out, and suspended or seeded Clubs. If a Club subsequently withdraws, the Organiser may, at his discretion, award a bye to the remaining Club or arrange a match with another Club previously given a bye. A Club winning the Plate, Shield, Salver or Vase, shall in the following Season, be placed in the Draw for the next level up, if they do not automatically qualify under the arrangements then in force. 7. Clubs drawn at home shall be responsible for informing the Organiser of the result by 1800 hrs on the Sunday following the match, in a manner as determined by the Organiser. If a home side fails to notify the result in time, the match will be awarded to the away side. Both Clubs shall return results cards by first post, fax or e-mail, on the Wednesday following the match. Failure to return a Match Card will cause the offending side to be deemed to have lost the match. 8. If either team has objections about the ground or the way it is marked out, they must tell the Referee before the match starts. The Referee will attempt to resolve the issues, but must not start a match if any part of the ground is considered to be dangerous. If a Club has complaints about the state of the pitch before the day of the match, it is the Organiser’s duty to inspect (or appoint someone else to inspect) the pitch and notify both teams of its suitability. If a Club, drawn at home is unable to play at their ground on the appointed day due to ground or other conditions, they MUST: a) Contact the Organiser immediately b) Find another (neutral) venue c) If they cannot, the opposition must be invited to host the match d) If the opposition cannot host the match, the home side must, in conjunction with the Organiser, find another ground acceptable to both clubs. The side originally drawn AWAY will retain Away advantage at any NEUTRAL ground, but concede it if they play at HOME. 9. The rules of the RFU Cups (other than Senior Cup) Competitions shall apply in the following areas (except where specifically amended by these rules), - Eligibility, Replacements (see 9 below), Colours, Postponed or Abandoned matches, Kick-offs and Delayed arrivals, Grounds. (Note especially RFU rules relating to ground safety and keeping the touchline free of spectators, replacements and officials.) 10. (i) In rounds other than the Semi-finals and Final a maximum of 3, and in the Semi-finals and Final a maximum of 7 replacements are permitted, unless the Teams agree beforehand to vary this number, and so advise the Referee. (ii) These must include suitably trained and experienced players so that, on the first occasion in rounds other than Semi-finals and Finals, and on the first and second occasion in Semi-finals and finals, (whether due to injury, or consequent to a players(s) being temporarily suspended or ordered off) that a front row player is required to be replaced, the team can play safely with contested scrums. (iii) If any front row player requires to be replaced and his team cannot provide a replacement or other suitably trained and experienced player, at least 18

42 years old, from those who started the match, or from the nominated replacements to enable the match to continue safely with contested scrums, the Referee having made enquiry of the captain of the team, (or other such person nominated by the Club) the Referee will order uncontested scrums, and the team will be deemed to have lost the match. (iv) If on the second occasion in rounds other than Semi-finals and Finals, or the third occasion in Semi-finals and Finals, a front row player is required to be replaced, and a replacement cannot be provided, the game will go to uncontested scrums, and the final result will stand. (v) Rolling replacements are permissible in all Sussex Cup Matches. 11. The RFU KO rules shall apply relating to Drawn matches, except that where a result is not determined in a Final, a replay will be held as soon as possible. (see note 1 below) 12. The Sussex Society of Rugby Union Referees’ shall appoint Referees for all games. Applications should not be made by Clubs except to confirm re-playing of postponed or abandoned games. The home club must advise the Referee as soon as possible, if a match is postponed. Each club must provide a Touch Judge, except where they are provided by the Society and Law 6b shall apply. 13. Other than in exceptional circumstances, specifically permitted by the Organiser, the only acceptable reason for cancelling a game is for an unfit ground. Clubs not playing on the designated days (other than with the written permission of the Organiser), or withdrawing from the competition may be subject to sanctions, up to and including, omission from the Draw the following year. Inability to raise a team will not be considered a valid reason. 14. The finalists shall receive trophies and mementos determined by the Management Committee. 15. All Clubs entering the competitions shall be deemed to have accepted the Rules as Published. Note 1 – (rule 10) RFU regulations state that: In all rounds except the Final, if, after 40 minutes of play each way the scores are level, there shall be an immediate period of extra time between the teams of 10 minutes each way, with a one minute interval. If the scores are still equal, then the team that has scored the most tries shall go forward to the next round. If this does not produce a result, the team that has scored the most goals from tries goes forward to the next round. If the scores still be equal, the visiting team shall go forward to the next round. Please note that Rule 10 provides that in the Final of a Sussex CB Cup Competition, a replay is ordered.

SUSSEX MERIT LEAGUE REGULATIONS 2013 - 2014

1. DESCRIPTION AND FORM The Competition shall be called, “The Sussex Shepherd Neame Team Leagues” (hereinafter referred to as “The Leagues”) and shall be open to players of clubs affiliated to Sussex RFU. Players are not required to be registered in order to play in the Sussex Leagues below Sussex League One. All matches in the competition shall be played under the Laws of Rugby Union Football and shall comply with the Bye-laws, Rules and Regulations of the Rugby Football Union and Sussex RFU. Clubs outside the County may enter the Sussex Leagues by agreement with the League Organiser and must be affiliated to the Sussex RFU.

2. LEAGUE ADMINISTRATOR The Competition will be organised by the League Administrator appointed by the Sussex Management Committee. 3. LEAGUE STRUCTURE As determined by the Sussex RFU General Committee at the beginning of each season dependant upon the number of teams participating. 4. LEAGUE FIXTURES a. The Competition fixture list shall be prepared by the League Administrator having regard to the Sussex Structured Season. b. All Competition matches shall be played on the dates laid down by the League Administrator unless adverse weather intervenes and pitches at both Clubs are unplayable, or one/both team(s) have RFU/Sussex Cup Commitments. Matches may be played earlier than the designated date if both sides are agreed and the League Administrator has been duly informed. c. Any Club cancelling a fixture other than for unfit pitches at both sides’ grounds, or RFU/Sussex Cup commitments, will be deducted four League points. The non-cancelling club will be deemed to have won by 40 points to nil. d. The League Organiser and the host Club must be informed, in writing, of a Club’s intention to cancel a Match other than as provided for in Reg. 4b. A Club cancelling an Away fixture later than midday on the Friday prior to the match will be fined £50.00 to cover the expenses and loss of revenue by the hosting Club. Failure to pay outstanding dues will render a Club ineligible to enter the Sussex Leagues the following season. e. If pitch conditions or Cup commitments prevent a match being played or a match is abandoned with less than 80% of the appropriate time having been played, the match will be played or replayed on the next available date. The revised fixture date must be agreed with the League Administrator within 72 hours of the original date. f. If a match is abandoned because of weather conditions when 80% of allowed time has been played, the score at the moment of abandonment shall be deemed the final score in the match. The Referee’s decision as to the necessity of the abandonment and the number of minutes played at the moment of abandonment shall be final. 66 g. If the referee finds it necessary to abandon a match for any reason other than weather conditions, irrespective of the number of minutes played, the result of that match will be determined by the League Administrator or the League Administrator may order that match to be replayed, after considering the Referees report. h. In the event that a Club cancels a League Match, by whomsoever organised, other than for unfit pitches at both grounds, all XV’s of that Club below the level of the team cancelling, and playing League Matches on the same date, will be deemed to have lost their match. A score of 40-0 will be recorded against them and the points for the win will be awarded to their opposition. However, Lower XV’s will still be eligible for receiving a point for the loss and a bonus point for losing by seven or less points (or for actually winning) should their match take place (see below). Should the lower XV game(s) not take place the lower XV(‘s) will be deducted four League points. 5. DETERMINATION OF CLUB POSITIONS IN THE LEAGUE The position of a club in the League shall be established as a result of playing matches for which: a. Four points will be awarded for a Win. b. Three points will be awarded for a Draw. c. One point will be awarded for a Loss. d. One point will be awarded for playing an Away game. e. One point will be awarded for losing by seven or less points. In the case of equality positions will be determined on the basis of match points scored. A club with a larger difference in its favour shall be placed higher than a club with a smaller difference. Should two or more clubs have equality in both league points and match points difference, the club having scored more match points will be placed higher in the league than the club having scored less match points. No score greater than a 40 point differential shall be recorded in the League Tables (i.e. 0-40, 64-24). 6. NOTIFICATION OF RESULT The HOME team shall, within 24 hours of the game (i.e. by 18:00 on the Sunday following the fixture) notify the Sussex Results Service of the result, with the score. Notification shall be by email, telephone, fax or text as determined by the League Administrator. Failure to do so will result in an offending team being deducted one League point. It is the responsibility of the side cancelling a match to inform the Results Service. 7. REPLACEMENTS In all Sussex Team Leagues replacements shall be limited to seven players. A team unable to field a front row may play uncontested scrums with a ten game point penalty. Teams must have parity of numbers on the field at the commencement of the game, unless the opposition opts to lend a player(s) to the opposition, in which case it may field one more player. Sussex League Replacement Regulations shall apply. 8. REFEREES AND TOUCH JUDGES The Referee for each match shall be appointed by the Sussex Society of Rugby Football Union Referees. Clubs should request Referee appointments in the normal way ensuring that they inform the Society that a fixture is a Competition match. The home club shall be responsible for the referee’s expenses. If a Society Referee is unable to be appointed, then the onus is on the Home Club to appoint a qualified referee.

67 9. CLASH OF COLOURS / KICK OFF TIMES In the event of the club having similar or clashing colours the home club will be responsible for changing its colours subject to the satisfaction of the Referee. It is the responsibility of the home club to check the colours of the visiting team prior to the day of the match. 10. GROUND a) A home club is responsible for correctly and clearly marking its pitch and it must make proper provision to ensure that spectators are kept at a reasonable distance from the field of play. It would be preferable if the field of play was roped off. b) When a late decision as to the fitness of a ground for the playing of a match is necessary it shall be made by the Managers of the clubs involved but if they are unable to agree the decision shall be made by the appointed Referee. 11. DISPUTES AND TRANSGRESSIONS Any matters in dispute or any transgressions of these Regulations shall be referred immediately to the League Administrator. The League Administrator, after due consideration, will notify the interested parties of his decision. A Club shall have the right to appeal a decision of the Organiser to the Chairman of the County Competitions Committee, in writing, within seven days from the date of the decision. In the event that an appeal to the County Competitions Committee is rejected, a Club shall have the further right of appeal to the County Executive Committee, in writing, within seven days and on payment of an administration charge of £50.00 that will be returned if the appeal is upheld. A Club shall have the right to be represented when its case is considered before the County Executive Committee. As this is an internal County Competition, there is no further right of appeal. 13. ACCEPTANCE Other than provided within these rules the RFU Regulations will apply. All clubs entering the Competition accept these Regulations as published. These Regulations supersede all previous Sussex League Regulations. SUSSEX COMPETITIONS COMMITTEE June 2013

FRONT ROW REPLACEMENT REGULATIONS – SUSSEX LEAGUES 2013 - 2014 Sussex League Regulations state that teams playing in Sussex Intermediate Leagues and below can have no more than seven replacements. Amendments to RFU Regulations governing replacements, covering Sussex Lower Leagues - Sussex Intermediate League and below. In League Matches at Sussex Intermediate League and below, and in all Sussex Cup Matches – rolling replacements may be used, subject to the following conditions: (Sussex Regulation) a) The referee must be informed on each occasion that a player is replaced, specifically when a player is replaced because of injury. An injured player may take no further part in the match. b) Replacements may only be made at the following stoppages in play when the ball is dead: 1) Scrummage 2) Line Out, except where the throwing in side opts to take a quick throw-in. 3) Immediately following a successful kick at goal, i.e. penalty kick, drop goal. 4) 22m Drop-out, excepting where the kicking side opts to take a quick drop-out. 5) Half-time. c) There is no restriction on the number of times that a player may be used as a replacement or be replaced during the course of a match.

68 If a side has no replacements and a front row player is injured and leaves the field so that the game has to go to uncontested scrums, the game continues with no "game" points penalty to the side with the injured player, as they are now reduced to fourteen men, a penalty in itself. If the injured player remains on the field but uncontested scrums are called then the ten “game” points penalty applies. (Sussex Regulation) If a side has no replacements and a front row player is excluded from the game for a Yellow or Red card offence, so that the game has to go to uncontested scrums, the offending side must either remove a further player for the duration of the Yellow or Red Card offence, in which case the game continues with no "game" points penalty to the side with the excluded player; or if the “additional” player remains on the field but uncontested scrums are called then the ten “game” points penalty applies. (Sussex Regulation) A side having up to three replacements must be able, on the first occasion, to replace an injured front row player, or a player excluded from the game for a Yellow or Red card offence. If they are unable to do so they will incur a ten "game" point penalty at that time. (i.e. If the score is 10 - 15 and the away side have a front row injury or a player excluded from the game for a Yellow or Red card offence but are unable to replace the front row player, the score would become 20 - 15 at that time.) If they are able to replace the front row on the first occasion, but not on the second occasion should that arise, then the game would continue with uncontested scrums but with no "game" points penalty as they have fulfilled the RFU Regulation with regard to replacements and the front row. If a side has more than three replacements they must, under RFU Regulations governing front row replacements be able to replace an injured front row player, or a player excluded from the game for a Yellow or Red card offence, on the first and second occasion. If they are unable to do so they will incur a ten "game" point penalty at that time. (i.e. If the score is 10 - 15 and the away side have a front row injury or a player excluded from the game for a Yellow or Red card offence but are unable to replace the front row player on either the first or second occasion, the score would become 20 - 15 at that time.) If they are able to replace the front row on the first and second occasion, but not on the third occasion should that arise, then the game would continue with uncontested scrums but with no "game" points penalty as they have fulfilled the RFU Regulation with regard to replacements and the front row. Under the RFU Regulations the match would continue but the side causing the uncontested scrums would lose the game. Under Sussex Regulations the game would continue to its conclusion and the score at the end of the game would stand.

71 DISCIPLINE Chairman: Frank Edmonds 87, Wordsworth Drive, Eastbourne BN23 7QP 01323 763477 [email protected] Secretary: Roger Edmondson 1, Ryefield Close, Eastbourne BN21 2XJ 01323 501893 [email protected] SCHOOLS DISCIPLINARY OFFICER (CSUDS): Roger Edmondson YOUTH DISCIPLINARY OFFICER (CBYDS): Roger Edmondson RFU Head of Discipline: Gerard McEvilly [email protected] 0208 831 6667 07590 890722 Judicial Officer: Rebecca Morgan [email protected] 020 8831 6702 Administrator: Danny Rumble [email protected] 020 8831 7656 RFU Case Officer: Charlotte Mitchell-Dun [email protected] 020 8831 6702

DISCIPLINE JURISDICTION AND OVERRIDING OBJECTIVE (REGULATION 19) 19.1.4 Each Club is required to cooperate with a RFU (or an RFU Constituent Body) disciplinary investigation or disciplinary proceedings. Each Club is further required to appoint an internal disciplinary panel responsible for investigating and, subject to RFU Regulations 19.5.2 to 19.5.4, taking appropriate action in relation to disciplinary matters, and the conduct of its members, and for generally maintaining discipline within that Club. 19.1.5 The overriding objective of Regulation 19 is to maintain and promote fair play, protect the health and welfare of players (and others involved in the game), ensure that acts of Foul Play and Misconduct (on and off the field of play) are dealt with Expeditiously and fairly by independent means within the Game and that the image and reputation of the game is not adversely affected. Furthermore to achieve consistency in the way that discipline is administered and uniformity in the manner in which the assessment of seriousness of Foul Play is conducted and sanctions imposed. 19.1.6. Disciplinary hearings shall be conducted in a fair and just manner and in accordance with the fundamental principles of natural justice, whilst recognising that that neither a Discipline nor Appeal Panel is a court of law and as such panellists or those appearing before a panel may not be legally qualified and therefore, in their interests of achieving a just and fair result, procedural and technical considerations shall take second place to the overriding objective of being just and fair to the parties and is consistent with the duty to the Game. 19.5.3 Without in any way limiting the effect of paragraph 19.11.16. a Player that is subject to an ordering Off or citing by a commissioner in a domestic or any other match is not entitled to play the Game (or any for thereof) or be involved in any off-field match day activities anywhere in the world until his/her case has been finally resolved. For the avoidance of doubt, a player cited by an opposition team in matches Level 3 and below may play the game pending the resolution of his/her case. 19.5.4 A suspended player who elects to Appeal may not take part or be selected for any further match until his case has been dealt with by an Appeal Panel or the Single Judicial Officer has directed that he/she may play again, unless his/her suspension has already expired. 19.6.1 In all cases where the referee has Ordered off a player the Referee must as soon as practicable and in any event 48 hours after the end of the match, provide a completed copy of the referee’s report to:

72 (a) The Disciplinary Secretary of the the CB to which the Player’s Club is affiliated or allocated, or the RFU Head of Discipline. ([email protected]) (b) The referee’s own Referee Society or, if he is not a member of the Referee Society to the Constituent Body in whose area the match was played. ([email protected]) 19.6.3. Club Secretaries must report to the Secretary of Discipline within 48 hours after the match all relevant details relating to on field and off-field disciplinary matters and/or alleged breaches of any regulations arising out of or in relation to the match. DISCIPLINE HEARINGS - Notes 1. A match Official reporting abuse shall comply with the above requirements save that, where the player has not been sent off in relation to the alleged abuse, a Match Official Abuse Form shall be completed and submitted within seven days 2. Where a player has been sent off, the Disciplinary Committee Secretary, will complete and forward as soon as possible a Notice of Hearing that will include details of: 1. The Specific Charge 2. The date, time and place appointed for the hearing 3. Directions on case management, as appropriate The player will be asked in the Notice of Hearing: 4. Whether he accepts that he committed the offence specified in the Match Officials Report and wishes to plead guilty or 5. Whether he disputes the allegations and wishes the Referee or Assistant Referee in appropriate cases, to be invited to attend. 6. The player will be advised in the Notice of Hearing that if he wishes any of the match officials to be invited to attend, he may be called upon to pay their travelling expenses. 7. The Notice of Hearing will be accompanied by a copy of the Match Officials Report. It will also advise a player that he should have available any evidence he wishes to call and his attention will be specifically directed to the Disciplinary Regulations. 8. The Disciplinary Committee will endeavour to hear the case as quickly as possible and certainly within 11 days. 9. Clubs should hold their own Disciplinary Hearing within 48 hours and inform the Disciplinary Secretary whether the player pleads guilty or not guilty. The Chairman of Discipline, Frank Edmonds, will consider each on its merits and decide whether a postal plea is accepted if the player pleads guilty to the offence. 10. Sussex Disciplinary Hearings will be held every alternate Thursday (subject to there being any cases) starting on the 12th September. September 12 and 26 October 10 and 24 November 7 and 21 December 5 and 19 January 16 and 30 February 13 and 27 March 13 and 27 April 10 and 24 May 8

73 The Rugby Football Union has tried very hard to exclude the provision that when a player is subject to an Ordering off he/she is not entitled to play or be involved in any of the field match day activities until his/her case is finally resolved. We now have to accept this and to this end, the Disciplinary Panel has clearly set out above each parties responsibilities to bring to a minimum the loss of playing time for a player. Each Club must hold its own disciplinary hearing and if this is done within a few days of the ordering off, give a proper and reasonable judgement, then this will be taken into account when the Disciplinary Panel is making a decision on a sanction. The list of sanctions is quite clear. It beholds us to work together to ensure that the disciplinary process, as 19.5 states, is dealt with expeditiously and fairly. Frank Edmonds - Chairman Sussex RFU Disciplinary Panel.

SCHOOLBOYS SENT OFF IN SCHOOL MATCHES 3.1 It is accepted that Discipline in Schools' rugby belongs within the province of the Head Teacher 3.2 The completed sending off form shall be sent to the Head Teacher and Roger Edmondson within 48 hours. 3.3 The Head Teacher has three possible sanctions: a) Sending off is sufficient punishment b) A Caution is given, laying down expectations about future good conduct. c) A period of playing suspension from all rugby matches 3.4 The Head Teacher shall consult the CSUDS (Roger Edmondson) before coming to a decision and then writing a letter to the CSUDS informing him of the sanction.

* It is assumed that Schools and Clubs would apply other sanctions for serious breaches of conduct. If not, then higher match suspensions should be applied.

Notwithstanding the sanctions in the table above in cases where the player’s actions constitute mid range or top end offending for any type of offence which had the potential to result and , in fact, did result in serious gross consequences to the health of the victim, the Disciplinary may impose any period of suspension including suspension for life. If a School or Club imposes what appears to be an unduly lenient sentence, they will be asked to review this and justify to CBS/YDS. If a CBSYDS remains unconvinced that the matter will be considered further by the National Schools and Youth Disciplinary Secretary, who can by consent, reopen the case and request an independent panel sits to sentence: or he can refer the case to the RFU Disciplinary Officer to see RFU Regulation 14 applies.

SUSSEX YOUTH LEAGUE REGULATIONS 2013-2014

1. DESCRIPTION AND FORM The Competition shall be called, The Sussex Youth Leagues (hereinafter referred to as The Leagues) and shall be open to players of clubs affiliated to Sussex RFU (hereinafter called Sussex) under the appropriate year of age for each League at the agreed date. All matches in the competition shall be played under the laws of Rugby Union Football and shall comply with the Bye-laws, Rules and Regulations of the Rugby Football Union and Sussex. Clubs outside the County may enter the Sussex Youth Leagues by agreement with the League Organiser and must be affiliated to the Sussex RFU.

2. LEAGUE ADMINISTRATORS The Competition will be organised by League Administrators at each age group appointed by the Sussex Youth Management Committee. Their decision shall be binding and final on any matter not provided for in and on interpretation of these regulations.

3. LEAGUE STRUCTURE As determined by the League Administrators at the beginning of each season dependent upon the number of teams participating at each age group.

4. LEAGUE FIXTURES a. The Competition fixture list shall be prepared by the League Administrators having regard to the Sussex Youth Fixture Template/Structured Season. b. All Colts Competition matches shall be played on the dates identified by the League Administrators, unless adverse weather intervenes and pitches at both Clubs are unplayable. Clubs in the U13, U14, U15 and U16 Leagues may postpone one match without penalty, for a perfectly valid reason to be communicated to the League Organiser, and this match must be played on one of the next FOUR working Sundays. (Working Sundays are defined as all Sundays within the RFU Youth Structured season with the exception of designated League/Cup dates, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day, Easter Sunday and one County Sunday in any four week period.) Matches may be played earlier than the designated date if both sides are agreed and the League Administrator has been duly informed.

87 c. Any Club cancelling a fixture other than for unfit pitches at both sides’ grounds will be deducted three League points. The non-cancelling club will be deemed to have won by 50 points to nil and will also be deemed to have scored four tries thus gaining a bonus point. d. If pitch conditions prevent a match being played or a match is abandoned with less than 80% of the appropriate time having been played, the match will be played or replayed on one of the next FOUR working Sundays. The revised fixture date must be agreed with the League Administrator within 72 hours of the original date. In the event of a second postponement the match must be played on the next available non league Sunday or by agreement with the League organiser unless a club uses the permitted postponement as 4.b. e. If a match is abandoned because of weather conditions when 80% of allowed time has been played, the score at the moment of abandonment shall be deemed the final score in the match. The Referee’s decision as to the necessity of the abandonment and the number of minutes played at the moment of abandonment shall be final. f. If the referee finds it necessary to abandon a match for any reason other than weather conditions, irrespective of the number of minutes played, the League Administrator will determine the result of that match, or the League Administrator may order that match to be replayed, after considering the Referees report. g. Failure to play more than two league games within any season will result in that team being withdrawn from the league and all previous results will be deducted from the league table. If a club fails to fulfil either a semi-final or a final, the club able to fulfil the fixture will be awarded the match.

5. DETERMINATION OF CLUB POSITIONS IN THE LEAGUE The position of a club in the League shall be established as a result of playing matches for which: a. Four points will be awarded for a Win. b. Two points will be awarded for a Draw c. One point will be awarded for scoring four or more tries d. One point will be awarded to a team for losing by seven or less points In the case of equality positions will be determined on the basis of match points scored. A club with a larger difference in its favour shall be placed higher than a club with a smaller difference. Should two or more clubs have equality in both league points and match points difference, the club having scored more match points will be placed higher in the league than the club having scored less match points. In the event of this calculation not being able to establish the position of the clubs as winners and/or runners up of the League, the number of bonus points scored shall determine the final placement. Should these also be equal, the teams will play off to decide the League winner. No score greater than a 50 point differential (RFU Reg 15.5.3b) will be recorded in the League Tables (i.e. 0-50, 74-24). If any teams score reaches 50 points in excess of the opposition’s score, the league match will be terminated at that stage (unless the score is attributable to adverse weather conditions favouring a side in the first half) and that result will be deemed to be the final result. Both teams must agree to continue playing the match as a friendly. Youth fixtures will conform to RFU Regulation 15.5. That is:- Each Way Total Time U13/U14 25 minutes 50 minutes U15 30 minutes 60 minutes U16 plus 35 minutes 70 minutes

88 6. NOTIFICATION OF RESULT Both clubs shall, within 48 hours of the game (i.e. by 18:00 on the Tuesday following the fixture) notify the appropriate League Administrator of the result of each match played, with the score including the number of tries scored by each side. Postponements must be notified by both teams within the same timescale. Notification shall be by email, telephone, fax or text as determined by each League Administrator. Failure to do so will result in an offending team being deducted 1 league point. Both clubs shall, within 72 hours of the game (i.e. by 18:00 on the Wednesday following the fixture) submit to the appropriate League Administrator a Match Card with the score including the number of tries scored by each side, and the details of the team. Notification shall be by e-mail, post or fax as determined by each League Administrator. Failure to do so will result in an offending team being deducted 1 league point.

7. DETERMINATION OF WINNERS IN KNOCK OUT PHASE (if applicable) Where appropriate, the winners of each League will be at home and will play the runners-up in the other League to determine the League finalists. If in either of the semi-finals or the final, the scores should be equal at the end of the match, the team that has scored most tries, conversions, penalties, drop goals, in that order of priority, shall be deemed the winner. If in the semi-finals this calculation does not produce a result, the away team shall be deemed the winner. If in the final this same calculation does not produce a result, a Kicking Competition will decide the winner.

8. PLAYERS a) All clubs entering the Competition must ensure that their players are properly registered via Rugby First by their Club Youth Registration Officer before the first League fixture. Failure to register players prior to the match taking place will lead to the deduction of 2 league points in the league phase of the Competition. All players must be under the age as appropriate to their League on 1st September of the season in which they are registered, unless approved by the Youth Chairman as meeting the requirements of RFU Regulation 15. If any ineligible player, other than over-age is found to have participated in the Competition the offending team will be deducted two league points on each occasion that it occurs. If any over-age player is found to have participated in the competition then the offending club will be withdrawn from the competition. b) Each Club running both an A and B team in an age group must designate 10 players who will be deemed to be eligible for A team games only and who may not be selected for the B team during that season. The League Administrator must be advised the names of these players prior to the first League Match of the season. If any designated player is found to have participated in a ‘B’ team match the offending team will be deducted two league points on each occasion that it occurs. A and B teams from the same club cannot play in the same League. c) A youth player can only play in one league game per day (RFU Reg 15.5.1). If a player is named on a match card but does not play in the game, then the name should be crossed out before the referee and opposition sign the Match Card. d) No player may represent a club in the Competition unless he is a bona fide member of that club i.e. he has paid a subscription and is registered through Rugby First.

89 e) A player who terminates his membership with one club and becomes a bone fide member of another club may not play within the League until his transfer has been notified and completed via Rugby First. It should be noted that the transfer of players between clubs is regulated in accordance with rules laid down by Sussex RFU and detailed in the County Handbook. f) On new players joining a club, the club must complete the player registration process on Rugby First for that player to be eligible to represent the club in the Leagues. For the purposes of the Competition should a player be a bone fide regular playing member of two clubs, he must elect at the start of the season which is his club for the Competition except where joint club sides are formed to create a team for the Competition. (It should be noted that appropriate insurance cover will be required in the name of that team.) Any club with any doubt concerning the eligibility of a player must apply to the appropriate League Administrator for a decision. The decision of the League Administrator in writing will be final.

9. REPLACEMENTS a) Replacements shall be allowed in accordance with the RFU laws on replacements. A maximum of seven replacements are permitted unless by prior agreement and having regard to Regulation 9(c). b) Please note that Rolling Replacements are permissible at all youth age groups. c) There can be no more than one player difference between sides i.e. 13 players against 14 is acceptable but 13 against 15 is not. Note, if by having a player sent off the difference exceeds 1 then the team having the player sent off will forfeit the game and the winning team will be deemed to have won by 50 points to nil. A minimum number of 12 players (A League) and 10 players (B/C Leagues) on each side must contest the game for it to be played as a League match. There must be equity in the scrum with a minimum of five players from each side forming the scrum. d) Available front-row replacements must be indicated on the Match Card. If a team has to play uncontested scrums from the outset of the game, then they will start the match with a 10 games point penalty, i.e. 0-10 at kick-off. If a side has no replacements and a front row player is injured and leaves the field so that the game has to go to uncontested scrums, the game continues with no game point penalty to the side with the injured player, as they are now reduced to fourteen men, a penalty in itself. If the injured player remains on the field but uncontested scrums are called then the 10 game points penalty applies. If a side has up to three replacements they must be able, on the first occasion, to replace an injured front row player. If they are unable to do so they will incur a 10 game point penalty at that time. (I.e. if the score is 10 - 15 and the away side have a front row injury but are unable to replace the front row player, the score would become 20 - 15 at that time.) If they are able to replace the front row on the first occasion, but not on the second occasion should that arise, then the game would continue with uncontested scrums but with no game point penalty as they have fulfilled the RFU Regulation with regard to replacements and the front row. If a side has more than three replacements they must, under RFU Regulations governing front row replacements be able to replace an injured front row player on the first and second occasion. If they are unable to do so they will incur a 10 game point penalty at that time. (I.e. if the score is 10 - 15 and the away side have a front row injury but are unable to replace the front row player on either the first or second occasion, the score would become 20 - 15 at that time.) If they are able to replace the front row on the first and second occasion, but not on the third occasion should that arise, then the game would continue with uncontested scrums but with no game point penalty as they have fulfilled the RFU Regulation with regard to replacements and the front row.

90 10. REFEREES AND TOUCH JUDGES The Referee for each match shall be appointed by the Sussex Society of Rugby Union Referees. Clubs should request Referees appointments in the normal way for the League phase and the semi-final stage of the Competition ensuring that they inform the Society that a fixture is a Competition match. The request for a referee must be made at least 72 hours before the game, and any variations to kick-off times and subsequent changes notified. The home club shall be responsible for the referee expenses. If a Society Referee is unable to be appointed, then the Home Club must appoint a qualified referee, ideally not from that age group. The League Administrators shall be responsible for arranging the appointment of Referees from the Society for the Finals of each Competition. Wherever possible, touch judges should not be members of teams or their management and coaching staff.

11. CLASH OF COLOURS/KICK OFF TIMES In the event of the club having similar or clashing colours the Home club will be responsible for changing its colours subject to the satisfaction of the Referee. It is the responsibility of the Home club to check the colours of the visiting team prior to the day of the match. Kick off times will be 11:00 – 12:30 (u13-u16) and 14:00 (Colts), unless agreed otherwise by both teams and the league organiser. Kick-off time will be determined by the Home side based on pitch / changing availability.

12. GROUND a) A Home club is responsible for correctly and clearly marking its pitch and it must make proper provision to ensure that spectators are kept at a reasonable distance from the field of play. It is preferable if the field of play was roped off. b) When a late decision as to the fitness of a ground for the playing of a match is necessary it shall be made by the Managers of the clubs involved but if they are unable to agree the decision shall be made by the appointed Referee.

13. DISPUTES AND TRANSGRESSIONS Any matters in dispute or any transgressions of these regulations shall be referred immediately to the appropriate League Administrator and be confirmed in writing within 24 hours. The League Administrator, after due consideration, will notify the interested parties of his decision within 72 hours. If the Club wishes to challenge the decision it must appeal to the Chairman of the Youth Competitions Committee within 24 hours who will then call an Appeals meeting within 72 hours – this meeting may be conducted by email.

14. MEDICAL SAFETY The home team shall ensure that a qualified first-aider is in attendance throughout the match together with a complete sports medical kit.

15. ACCEPTANCE Other than provided within these rules the RFU regulations will apply. All clubs entering the Competition accept these regulations as published. These Regulations supersede all previous Sussex Youth League Regulations.

Clubs are reminded that the CB must approve all Youth Festivals The approval form is available on the Sussex RFU website.

98 YOUTH PLAYER REGISTRATION

The County Youth Registrar is Eddy Sears.

Each Club is responsible for the registration of their Youth players and entry of player details on Rugby First. Each Club must have a Youth Registrar who has current CRB clearance.

1. Clubs must ensure that an RFU Young Player Registration Form is completed and duly signed by the parent (or guardian) for each new Player, Re-Registered and Player Transfer). The form must be made available to the Sussex Youth Registrar or Officer of Sussex CB on request. All players must be registered via RFU Rugby First. Clubs must endeavour to get parents/guardians to complete the current version of the RFU Young Player Registration form copies of which are available on the RFU website. Any form dated prior to 2007 is no longer acceptable.

2. The RFU has ruled that Players can only be registered to play for one Club in competitive games i.e. Youth Leagues and KO Competitions but they can play friendly matches at other clubs. Mini players are treated in the same way.

3. When a Player transfer is registered in Rugby First, an email notification should be sent to the losing club Secretary and copied to the Sussex Youth Registrar.

4. It has been agreed that in Sussex, Club Registrars entering players into Rugby First must do so before midnight Saturday if the player is to play in a competitive game/festival on a Sunday (next day).

5. Past experience has shown that there is always a number of individual player transfer movements between clubs and these continue throughout the season. The Sussex Youth Committee wishes to support all clubs in providing Mini and Junior Rugby. They do not wish to see a migration of players away from their current club which may put them at risk. Multiple applications to transfer to a new club must be reported to the Sussex Youth Registrar giving reasons for this request before authorising or rejecting new registrations. For this purpose a multiple application is deemed to be 5 or more applications from a single age group received within a 4 week period. The registrar will consider whether the losing club has the continuing facility to allow these players to play rugby Should the Registrar deem that the transfers should not be allowed then appeals can be made to and heard by the Sussex Youth Appeals Committee.

6. Sussex Constituent Body has said that any person found to have incited, enticed or offered inducements to youth players, either singularly or collectively, to change clubs shall be deemed to have brought the game into disrepute and be subject to a disciplinary hearing of the Sussex RFU Disciplinary Hearing

133 THE APPOINTMENTS PROCESS The system is administered by David Beglan for weekend appointments and Stewart Goodwin for midweek appointments. A web-based system called Who’s The Ref (WTR) www.whostheref.com is being used to drive communication and keep records. Club officers responsible for booking referees will have been identified and briefed separately but contact details for David and Stewart are as follows: Weekend - David Beglan [email protected] Tel 07528 154465 Midweek - Stewart Goodwin [email protected] Tel 07805 111010

THE SOUTH EAST FEDERATION OF REFEREES SOCIETIES The Federation formed in 1999 by Sussex and Kent Referees Societies, is responsible for the appointment of referees to league matches at Level 6, Level 7 and Level 8. The Federation will also appoint to all National Cup games where the home side falls into the above category. For all of these clubs, the referee will be appointed by the Federation through its Appointments Secretary, as follows. Harry Leach [email protected] Tel 07710 196831

REFEREE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION It is a well known fact that you cannot have a game of rugby without a referee. Being part of the game as a referee can be hugely enjoyable and rewarding. It is highly likely that almost without exception a referee will perform at a level higher than he or she has ever played at. The training provided by the Sussex Society as part of a national RFU programme is comprehensive and of a very high standard. There are a number of opportunities for new referees and the Sussex Society is actively encouraging men and women to come forward and offer their services. Rugby people are members of rugby clubs and it is to the clubs particularly that we are appealing for new blood. So if you know someone who may be interested or who has a particular understanding or aptitude for the game, please do talk to us. There are no real guidelines as to who will make good referee material although the greatest is probably a love of the game. The chances are that if you are a recent first team player at your club, are young and fit, then you are likely to progress further. However, the beauty is that there can be a place for you whether you are long, tall, short, fat, thin, old, young, fast, slow, male, female, bald or ugly. Please do think about what you can do for the game and for yourself. You will find it great fun. Do talk to us.

SUSSEX COMMUNITY REFEREE GROUP In partnership with the Referee Department at The Rugby Football Union and The Sussex Society of Rugby Football Union Referees the Sussex Rugby Football Union Executive has instituted the Sussex Community Rugby Referee Group (SCRRG). This group is to cater for all those referees who mainly or exclusively officiate at their Clubs or Educational Establishments in Sussex and for what ever reason do not wish to join the Sussex Society. Members of the SCRRG after some experience may wish to transfer to the Society to broaden their operational areas. The SCRRG was initiated by the Sussex RFU Executive in May 2007 and formally inaugurated in September 2007. At the end of the 2011-2012 season it had nearly 130 members with 12 who also referee for The Sussex Society. To be a SCRRG Member you have to complete and pass the RFU Entry Level Referee Award (ELRA) and hold a current CRB Clearance with the RFU at Twickenham. Currently there is no membership fee and the only requirements are to continue refereeing at Sussex Clubs and Educational Establishments and attend professional development courses from time to time for updating.

MATCH CONFIRMATIONS 1. It is the responsibility of the HOME team to confirm the fixture. 2. As early in the week as possible (ideally Monday) the fixture should be confirmed with the opposition. This allows ample time to resolve any confusion over venue, date, and most importantly time of kick-off. 3. At the same time contact should be made with the appointed Referee to confirm venue, date and time of kick-off. In the event that no Referee is appointed to the match, you need to find a suitable "official". 4. Confirmations are not made (accomplished!) until you have a response from the opposition. 5. It may be old fashioned but the telephone is the best method of communicating. It is then ideal to follow up with a confirmation email to avoid any confusion. MATCH CANCELLATIONS 1. A Fixture Secretary should aim to get as many games played as possible. 2. Sussex League Regulations stipulate that cancellations MUST be confirmed with the opposition and the League Organiser no later than 12:00 on Friday. 3. If it is likely that a game is going to be cancelled you should contact your opposition AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE to let them know of any potential issues, and to give them the option of finding an alternative game. SHORT NOTICE FIXTURES The Competitions Committee organises an email list for Sussex Fixture Secretaries. This allows you to email every fixture secretary in the county. To do so you just send an email to the following email address: [email protected]

147 Updating RugbyFirst

http://club.rfu.com/club/portals/webmasters

RugbyFirst is the RFU's main source of information used by the County to keep in touch with Clubs and Officers.

If your Club data is not kept up to date, you run a real risk of being left out of latest developments and opportunities.

The RFU is again running free training courses around the County to give guidance on the three main applications.

Introduction/Refresher Basic elements and keeping your Clubs Membership and Officers data up to date. This is a must for Club Secretaries

Player Registration How to use the system to register and manage players. This is usually delivered as an add-on to the Introduction

Advanced Looking at how to use the free facilities for creating a comprehensive Club Website within RugbyFirst.

This requires some web knowledge and understanding of methods used in the Introduction course.
