Midlands Division Administrative Instructions / Rules for 2012-13 Although the RFU Regulations and Midlands Division Administrative Instructions/Rules appear each year in the RFU Handbook, it is recommended that the RFU Regulations as they appear on the RFU Website are read and noted, in order to obtain the most up to date and correctly worded version of the Regulations and Rules. 1. Notification of Results 1.1 Club Secretaries are responsible for their Club s compliance with the rules regarding notification of results. 1.2 Home clubs must telephone Russell s News and Sports Agency. Tel: 0116 233 2200 as soon as possible after the game, before 5:00 p.m. on the day of the match. When a game is played at any time other than Saturday afternoon the result must be phoned through within 30 minutes of the end of the game. If an injury or extra time is likely - 74 -
to delay the result being reported on time, then a telephone call to notify Russell s before the deadline will help to prepare them for a late result, and probably keep your Club off the fines list. 1.3 Home clubs must not only comply with the rules and regulations, but must also, when telephoning in the result to Russells, give the bonus points won by both sides on the day of the match. [ Four points is awarded for a win. Two points is awarded for a draw. A bonus point is awarded to any side scoring four tries and a bonus point is awarded to any losing side that loses by seven points or fewer.] 2. Match Result Cards 2.1 The Official Match Result Cards are the responsibility of both clubs. The cards must be completed fully and legibly in capital letters and record the names of the squad showing surname first, followed by the first name. The names - 75 -
should be recorded as they appear on the official RFU Senior Player Registration Computer Listing (neither abbreviations nor nicknames should be used). The cards from both the Home and Away clubs, already countersigned by the opposition official, must be passed to the Referee before the match. 2.2 A club not passing the Official Match Result Card to the referee before the match may have 5 Championship points deducted. The sanction for failure to follow the instruction on the Official Match Result Card will be a fine of 25. 2.3 (a) It is recommended that fully completed, signed and checked Official Match Result Cards are scanned and forwarded by e-mail attachment to the League Secretary within two days of the game being played.
