Rough or foul play including abuse of referees will not be tolerated. An automatic two week stand down will be put in place for any player who is sent off the field. This does not include player who are sin binned but players who are removed from the entire match.
Module management reserve the right to remove any team from the competition if compliance with the above rules is not adhered to.

We play rain, hail or shine! Touch will very rarely be cancelled. There will have to be severe weather conditions for us to consider cancelling. We keep an eye out on the rain radar rather than making a call when it is raining.
In the rare event we do have to cancel touch we shall update the draw to reflect cancelled games along with updating our Facebook page and sending an email out.
The call on cancellations will be made on the day around 4pm.
