FORFEIT FINES
FORFEIT FINES
Based on member feedback teams wanted a deterrent for forfeits as it was an inconvenience for teams and this deterrent was to apply fines at above the normal team sheet rate. The FDBA are often bound to pay referees; incur fixed cost expenses even when forfeits are pre-notified.
FDBA understands that unforeseen circumstances can arise whereby it may not be possible to play. With advanced warning (at least 1 week) the FDBA will endeavor to assist to help ensure the scheduled match can proceed.
Forfeit Fines :
- Notified = $130.00
- Un-notified = $170.00
TEAM REGISTRATIONS
Registrations open 6-8 weeks prior to the commencement of each season.
