Total Team Default

Rule Explanation:

• Majority of Positions: Teams are required to field the majority of positions in a match. This means that more than half of the positions must be filled by players.  

• Total Team Default: If the team fails to field the majority of positions, it results in a total team default. This means the team forfeits the match entirely.

• Grievance: In the event of a total team default, a grievance maybe filed against the Captain. This could lead to further disciplinary actions or penalties as determined by the governing body.

  • This rule ensures that teams make a genuine effort to compete and maintain the integrity of the match.
