Amendments to By-Laws
At our recent AGM held on June 20th, all proposed amendments to our by-laws were passed:
- Teams will now have more time and venue options to complete a washed-out/heated-out final.
- Players who don’t belong to a club can now become a financial member of MEMRLTA so that they may join our Emergency Pool.
- The required time to wait before calling a washout has been reduced from one and a half hours to one hour.
- Section 1 matches will now have a tie-break at 7 games all.
- There is no longer a fine for forfeiting. Other fines have been updated.
- Starting with the Summer 2023/24 Season, scores awarded for forfeits will be: The winning team to receive no change in their percentage (score of 0-0 instead of 48-24) and the team giving the forfeit has a score 12-48 (instead of 24-48) recorded against them.
See more details about these amendments and the AGM.
