Referees
The League Executive may be contacted, especially on League Nights, for Match Rulings, Rules Interpretation, Protests or issues of Sportsmanship. Any Ruling provided will be considered final. In a game where a judgement call is required, Players are encouraged to ask someone acceptable to both Players to act as a designated Referee, whose Ruling will be considered final.
Rules
Games will be played in accordance with the WPBA World Standardized Rules. They are available on the Home Page of the League website.
The League Executive has the authority to clarify and/or interpret Rules to the benefit of the League.
Match Start Times
The normal grace period to start a Match is 15 minutes. If your Team is going to be late, please extend the other Team the courtesy of giving them a call at the Match Location and letting them know. If 3 Players or more from each Team are present, the Match must start.
Each Player has 5 minutes to start an individual Game from the time their Game is called, after which it becomes a forfeited Game. A first round Game only may be delayed until the final Match Up in that Round, but may not be delayed any further.
'Make Up' Matches
There will be NO 'Make Up' Matches unless both Captains agree to same, prior to the original scheduled Match date.
If agreed to, then the 'Make Up' Match must be played within 2 weeks of the originally scheduled Match date. If the Match is not played within this time, then both Teams get no Match Points. Teams have the right of appeal to the League Executive should there be extenuating circumstances.
