Hey I make the sharkty jokes/puns round here. But agreed, where is the sauce as they still have points according to the website.  Will be a real shame if they get docked points especially if after the silly 7 day rule...

Why would it be a real shame? They played an ineligible player and broke the rules.

Western PDL made a similar 'honest mistake' in the first game of the season and were docked 6 points. If Mainland stick by that rule then the uni will have a negative points total.


As per regulation 2.5 of the rules (which are so poorly written it isn't funny!)

"In the case of a team playing an unregistered or ineligible player. The offending team shall be fined and shall forfeit any points arising from any match in which an ineligible player participates. The match shall be awarded to the non-offending team, “goals against” shall stand for the offending team, “goals for” shall be cancelled, or a 3 (three) – 0 (nil) win awarded whichever is the greater. + 3 competition points
deducted"

Unless everyone missed the "honest mistake" out-clause, this means Universities will start round 2 on negative points.

It is a real shame, as don't think they set out to cover anything up - just highlights the lousy system in place which MF tried to band-aid over instead of addressing properly in the first place.  

So what's the 7 day rule everyone talks about?
