Wash Out/ Rescheduling of Fixtures

Within SSMG Anderson Competitions, as a general rule the first two weather cancellation rounds in a given season will be classified as a ‘Wash Out’, therefore will not be rescheduled or postponed. However, when wet weather cancellations exceed two weeks in any given season, all following weather cancellations will be rescheduled and played at a later date. However, there are two exceptions:

1. When competition length is 8 weeks or less (Only applied to Social Evening Competitions)

2. When byes are included within your competition (Only applied to Social Evening Competitions)

In these circumstances, to guarantee number of games for our teams, only the first weather cancellation round in a given season will be classified as a ‘Wash Out. All following weather cancellations will be rescheduled and played at a later date.

Please note, in the event where Grand Final week, is cancelled, these fixtures will always be postponed to a later date. Finally, when games are ‘Washed Out’, all games will be scored as a draw (10-10), and any forfeits received prior to the ‘Wash Out’ classification, will be nullified.

Disclaimer – Within SSMG Anderson Competitions, we will make every effort to ensure games will be rescheduled in some form, however we are at times limited by Venue regulations & availability, whereby in the circumstance where fixtures cannot feasibility played, such policy will be null & void.
