Rules for all Sports

Please note that these rules are set out for guidance only – participating entrants/teams may agree to vary by
mutual consent. It is traditional for the home team to arrange a suitable venue for each match. But where the distances are large, please try and find a venue halfway. It is also traditional for the home team to provide a few snacks if possible.
