Postponements

There isa ‘postponement’ scheme where it can be prearranged to cancel a game to another date, if someone knows they will be away or on holiday etc.

Postponements will not come into play for any of the qualifying rounds, if you fail to post, then you would no score for whatever round you were in. However, once the group stage gets underway, then people may apply for postponements for whatever reason.

A thread will be set up ready to deal with postponements. When the draw for the group stage is made, then a complete fixture list will be brought out. Everyone will know the exact dates of when they are playing (basically every weekend for 6 consecutive weeks). You may request a postponement for a match 5 weekend in advance if you want, that’s not a problem.

On a more short term scale, the deadline to request a postponement before a weekend matchday is Thursday morning at 1AM BST. If you submit it before then, then there is no problem and your opponent will be notified as soon as possible.

For the knockout rounds, it is a little more complicated as we are unaware of the exact dates yet. However, there is ample time available and rescheduling wont be a problem.
