Introduction


The standards, rules and regulations governing conduct, discipline and expulsion for entry to and participation in any competition operated by the Rugby League Conference (?RLC?) shall apply to all clubs admitted to participate in RLC competitions.


The RLC Directors are charged with the formulation of policy for the RLC. Operational decisions may be taken by the RLC Administrator alone, or as a result of reference (by the RLC Administrator) to the RLC Strategy Board and/or RLC Directors. To reflect this operational process, throughout this document reference will only be made to ?RLC management? with respect to decision making authority etc.


References to the ?RLC Administrator? do not preclude any situation whereby tasks identified may be carried out by any other person or persons involved in RLC Administration and approved by the RLC Administrator. Clubs will be notified of any such individuals and of appropriate procedures etc.


The standard rules and regulations shall apply to participating clubs until varied by the RLC Management.


Clubs shall be admitted annually at the discretion of the RLC Management.


The Standards shall be the minimum required for admission to and participation in the RLC.


It is acknowledged that the facilities offered by clubs may vary, however, in the event a club being unable to fulfil the standards, that club must make written application to the RLC Administrator (on behalf of the RLC management) outlining the reasons for its inability to fulfil standards and must have the written approval of the RLC Management which may be withheld entirely at the RLC management?s discretion.


The Standards are divided into three sections:
i. Playing Standards
ii. Match Day Facilities Standards

10 Unfulfilled Fixtures

10.1 Should a fixture not be played because of one club?s inability to field a side, the following rules will apply with regard to the fixture outcome:
10.2 The ?non-offending? club shall be awarded a victory.
10.3 The score awarded to the ?non-offending? club will be in line with the previous league result(s) of both clubs.
10.3.1 The score awarded to the ?non-offending? club will be their average points scored per match (played during that season).
10.3.2 The score awarded to the ?offending club? will be the average points conceded by the ?non offending club?
10.3.4 In the event of this formula resulting in a ?win? for the ?offending club? then the result will be declared as 24-0.
10.3.5 Such an average points difference will be rounded up to the nearest whole number if necessary.
10.3.6 The minimum score awarded to the ?non-offending? club is therefore 24-0.
10.3.7 Should the first match of the season not be played because of one club?s inability to field a side, the ?non-offending? club shall be awarded a victory by the score-line of 24-0.
10.3.8 In the Play off stage an unfulfilled fixture will lead to the expulsion of the offending club.
10.3.9 The failure of a club to fulfil a scheduled fixture is a serious breach of the RLC Rules and that club will face disciplinary action.

12 Loaning of Players

12.1 Should one team be short of players to make up a side of 12 on the day but is still fulfilling the fixture, the ?loaning? of players by their opponents is acceptable.
12.2 Clubs are not compelled to ?loan? players. It is their discretion whether they do so or not.
12.3 ?Loaned? players are to be clearly endorsed on the Official Team Sheet - as ?LOAN?
12.4 If ?loaning? occurs, the game remains an official fixture. The score-line and result of the actual match stands officially. In other words, if team ?A? loans players to team ?B? to make up a side, and then team ?B? wins the game 10-0, the result stands as a 10-0 victory to team ?B?. This fact needs to be borne in mind by any club considering ?loaning? players on match day.

13 Abandoned Matches
If less than three quarters of the lain down playing time has elapsed when a game is abandoned, then the RLC management may order it to be replayed.

13.1.4 Should it not be feasible to re-arrange the game the result shall be recorded as a nil ? nil draw and both teams will take one point.
13.1.5 In the event of a dispute between teams with regard to the fitness for play of a ground, the final and binding decision will be with the Match Official. If a team still refuses to play they will be deemed to have defaulted on the game and the appropriate procedure will operate. Back to top

14 Player Registration

14.1 All club players shall be registered with the RLC before commencing training or playing in a match (whichever is the sooner).

This may include the granting of match points to the club not in default of this rule, whether that team wins the match or not coupled with a fine up to but not exceeding £50 per player imposed on the guilty party. Registration forms shall be available from the RLC Administrator and should be obtained by each club immediately the club is admitted to participate in the RLC competition.

That list must be returned to the RLC Administrator by the given date with those players retained clearly marked and those crossed off likewise.

Discipline action as enumerated under Rule 14.1 endorsed by the RLC Management shall be applied rigidly against clubs whose players are not registered in the prescribed manner.
14.2 A player is only registered with the RLC when the completed generic registration form (or a faxed copy of the completed registration form) (plus any other relevant documentation) is in the possession of the RLC Administrator (NB 14.2.1).

i Selection and completion of at least 2 games for that team.
i Registration criteria having been met implicitly.
A club shall face disqualification from the Championship Play Offs if having wilfully or knowingly fielded a player whose registration:
i Fails to meet without prejudice the standardised criteria as set out hitherto.

14.9.2 Clubs shall at least 24 hours before the first Championship Play Off game is scheduled verify by return email that entries recorded/held by the RLC Administrator are accurate and shall remove from the database listings those personnel no longer active or having left the club for whatever reason. No game ? without exception - shall be allowed to proceed until all parties complete the interactive administrative procedure.
14.10 Clubs may apply in writing to the RLC Administrator to include in the RLC Championship play-offs, semi-finals and finals etc personnel having not played two games in that season prior to the play offs, providing that any such player has been officially registered with the RLC to be eligible to play in the divisional games for that same club. All such applications must be made in writing to the RLC Administrator stating the reason(s) why players haven?t played two competition fixtures prior to the play offs. Supporting evidence may be required.
14.11 A player registered in National League 3 is eligible to represent his own club in the RLC competition at any time during the regular season. In order to play in the knock out phase, however, the player must satisfy the ?two games rules? or apply in writing for special dispensation, which may be withheld.
14.12 A non-contracted player fielded in an RFL Competition may likewise register for an RLC club of choice subject to rule 14.3.
14.13 It is the responsibility of the Club to check that the Registration process has been completed correctly to include checking before play that documents have been received and verified as correct by the RLC Administrator.

15 Transfer of Registration

15.1 A player may provided that all financial obligations have been fulfilled in advance transfer his registration from one RLC club to another at any point during the season until the 30th June of that season. After this date players transferring from one club to another may not represent their new club in that season.
15.2 In order to transfer internally a player must in the first instance obtain from his existing club a form of De-Registration ? commonly referred to as an Inter-Club Transfer - which on completion in full and signed by the existing club is subsequently handed to the new club. The transfer form should not be held for an unreasonable period nor refused unless the player owes monies to the club he intends to leave. (Refer to Rule 15.1) The transfer document together with a new RLC generic registration form must be sent to the RLC Administrator and becomes valid only when he duly acknowledges confirmation of its receipt.
15.3 Clubs should retain for their own records a copy of all forms released to the RLC
Administrator.
15.4 It will not be possible for transferred players to register for a new club on the day of a game.

If the scores are level at the end of normal time, then one extra time period of five minutes each way shall be played. Should the scores remain level at this juncture then a ?Golden Score?, i.e. a ?Sudden Death first score?, will determine the winner.

17 Insurance

17.1 All clubs participating in the RLC competition shall, as a minimum requirement, insure for Public Liability and all players under an agreed, approved or recognised player insurance policy in existence. The failure to do so will result in such clubs being entirely responsible for the consequences of their actions and the subsequent likely imposition by the RLC Management of disciplinary sanctions.

18.2 Clubs shall display in an appropriate place to be read by players, parents, club personnel etc details of the Personal Accident and Public Liability cover and should ensure that all such persons have access to these Insurance policies. Players should be encouraged by their club to arrange any additional insurance cover over and above that provided through the approved schemes. Back to top

It shall be the responsibility of the home club and visiting club during any match day to ensure that its players coaching staff and other members of the club, supporters and spectators operate standards of behaviour so as not to bring the game of Rugby League or the RLC in particular into disrepute. The RLC Management shall have the right to intervene in any matter concerning conduct of this kind and shall have the right entirely at its discretion to impose such penalty as the circumstances may require.

Clubs must ensure that referees are given the full name of any dismissed player. They must, at all times, assist the referee in identifying any person, official or spectator of whom the referee has cause to enquire.

A club which does not receive within three working days a written report alleging misconduct by a player, club official or other persons cited by a match official, must contact the RLC Administrator immediately however, the failure of a club to receive a report will not prevent a case from being dealt with by the League's discipline committee.

Videotaped evidence which when viewed by committee must show clearly and identify without question the alleged offence/s cited, shall be an accepted method through which to defend the alleged actions of an individual reported to the committee by a referee or touch judge.

Every player club or other persons shall have the right of appeal to the Rugby Football League in respect of adjudication by the Rugby League Conference discipline committee provided that, at the initial stage of the proceedings, representation was made either in writing or on production of an unedited videotaped recording of the alleged incident. An appeal shall be granted on two counts a) the finding of guilt or b) the severity of punishment

A player?s suspension will begin on the second Saturday following communication of the decision by the RLC Management unless it is one of six matches or more in which case the suspension becomes operational with immediate effect.
