Season 4 Rule Changes

  • Any player that gets sent off twice in one season will be disqualified from playing again that season. If either of those red cards were for violence or dangerous conduct, he will also be banned from ever playing again in the competition.
  • Season 4 is the first time that the league stages have been split into two groups. It is also the first time that one squad, Desperado, has been split into two teams, Desperado Black and Desperado White. Because of these new circumstances there are looser rules about who can play for each of those teams in rounds 1 – 5.
  • Because the league stages have been split into two groups, we have also had to change the criteria for qualifying for the final day. See the format section for details.
  • There is one game each week between teams from different leagues and there are new rules to describe how points are awarded for the results of these games. See the format section for details.
