Hi sharing with you guys the last relevant email we received on the upcoming league.
From Kamaljit (the liaison officer) himself,
"I am forwarding some information on our league that is coming up. Quickly some guidelines:
- Your league games will be played either at 3 or 5pm. They usually even off..as in the number of times a team plays at 3 or 5pm.
- Games are at $100 per game. We would require a deposit before the tournament starts. This deposit is not a registration fee, it is usually 2-3 game advance payments of the last few games.
- Our next Sunday league will kick off sometime first week/ 2nd week of April 2009, so if you can send in the forms by 15th of March will be good.
- Trophies / medals will be given to the top two teams for 20 players
- we do not require player registrations, however we need the indemnity form signed and returned.
- Please see below email that was sent to team managers just prior to the launch of our 2nd Sunday 9am league, which you may use as guideline and reference.>>
- if you require further information please do not hesitate to contact me @ 9xxxxxxx.
Thanks and Regards
Kamaljit Gill

Points noted from previous season**
There were many points noted during the first season.Teams and referees have given us their feedback and some changes were made.
1. Late comers/last minute cancellations/no shows for both referees & teams**.This is a very serious matter and the management will not tolerate or condone such behavior. Any teams found guilty of a no show will be deducted 1 point and fined $100. If a replacement team is not found to replace a last minute cancellation the same penalty will be imposed to cover the basic costs of field and referees.Three points will be awarded to other team involved.
2. Fights***.This will never be tolerated at all.Teams found guilty will be deducted 2 points after a fair assessment from the referee and the two managers. D2D will not hesitate to expel teams who are frequently involved in fights and causes trouble to the league.D2D`s will not compromise the integrity and the safety of the other teams and referees alike. D2D has in the past encouraged players and referees to make a police report and will cooperate with the police to give the information and particulars of the offenders.
3.Standard of refereeing*. Referee`s are always the center of controversy either in big BPL games or even social games. Sometimes if mistakes are made teams are too quick to abuse referee`s and sometimes man-handle them.They need to be protected and D2D will protect them if such incidences occur.However teams have every right to feedback if the referee is of a sub standard quality.D2D will investigate and if too many complains are made against him/her, D2D will not hesitate to fine or ban the referee to do future league games. Please note that D2D has implemented the Referee Assessment Grading for teams, to ensure that we maintain a good standard of referees in our league and weed off those who feel are not appropriate to officiate our league games. Managers/Captains are encouraged to SMS 1,2,3,4 or 5 (1-Bad to 5-V Good) with venue and time of the game immediately after their respective matches. We are not able to be at all pitches at the same time to assess the referees, the cooperation of the managers/captains will be much appreciated.
4. Match Reports If teams are maintaining their respective team sites/blogs, appreciate if the teams could email over their match
reports for us to put up also. D2D may amend the reports to suit our site after receiving them.
5.Postpone of Games: Each team are allow to postpone 2 games throughout the tournament.This to ensure that the league finishes promptly.
