A. It shall be the responsibility of each of the teams drawn together to arrange the fixture. The team drawn first shall be the home team who shall offer their opponents at least two dates for the fixture, except where a week is set aside, when only one date need be given, within seven days of the draw being notified. The onus shall rest with the away team to make contact with the home team if no date(s) have been offered on expiry of the specified period. The Fixture Secretary is to be notified, by the Home team, of the date agreed. In the event of the teams being unable to agree a date the matter is to be reported to the League Honorary Secretary for consultation with the Committee whose decision in respect of the fixture is final. Teams are reminded that Cup matches can be played on a neutral alley and as a last resort matches may take place on a Saturday or Sunday. Teams that lose in the first round proper (not the qualifying round, if held) shall automatically be entered into the Plate competition.
B. Matches are to be played to a conclusion with, in the event of a tie, extra hands being played until a result has been obtained.
