London League II Survey

Here is the current set of rules.

**Basic rules **

• Three games per fixture.
  
• Two weeks to play a fixture.
  
• No-show counts as a forfeit (unless you can rearrange before end of league; see further details below).
  
• A volunteer referee (preferably with 2 goal refs) should be present at all games.
  
• It is the responsibility of the ref to email the scores.
  
• League should not interfere with throw-ins, unless it happens during team night or at a designated league court.
  
• Home team to bear responsibility of making the fixture happen with other team.
  
• There will be a trophy that we can keep for eternity, which will bear the names of each year’s winner (beginning with “BAD Polo” 2009).
  
• Deadline for team registration is one week before league begins.
  
  
  
  

Additional rules that were individually voted on

1. We play according to EHBPC rules, with one change: goals are cone height and there is no net.
   
   1. Individual games are timed (to 15 minutes) or first to 5.
      
2. If there is a tie at the 15 minute mark, then the game goes into “golden goal” mode (game continues until the next goal).
   
3. Fixtures will be announced weekly but teams will be allowed two weeks to play them (i.e., two-week fixtures with one week overlap).
   
4. Every team can have postponed up to two fixtures at any given time, and they need to be played before the end of the league. When a fixture postponement is made up, that postponement is returned to the team and they are then able to postpone again.
   
5. In the case of the forfeit, the team present gets 3 points and 3 goals (this assumes 1-0 in three games).
   
6. Home team gets to pick the home court (league play can happen on any night).
   
7. Subs must be non-league players.5. Home team gets to pick the home court (league play can happen on any night).
   
8. League is independent of the Euros; league placement does not qualify for an automatic spot in the Euros.
   
9. Entry into the league is free.
   
10. There is no limit to number of teams who may register for the league.
    
11. Teams must be from London.
