LEAGUE TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
I hereby agree to and accept the terms and conditions below for the period of the above league session:
The Full Season
All teams are signed up to a full season which always consist of 20 games over 20 weeks (2 x 10 week block bookings) (Full Season), notwithstanding that the fixtures may continue beyond Week 20 to allow all teams in a league to play each other 2 or 3 times depending on the size of the league. For the avoidance of any doubt, your Team is not required to continue attending fixtures beyond Week 20 in circumstances where you have given notice (by email to the League Manager) within 2 weeks of the end of the Full Season (that is, on or before Week 18).
Notice Period
Any teams who wish to withdraw from their Soccersixes league before the end of the Full Season (that is, any week before Week 20) must contact the relevant League Manager. The League Manager will make reasonable efforts to find a replacement for your Team. However, it is not always possible to find a replacement. If a replacement team cannot be found, you are responsible for all Pitch Hire Fees up to and including Week 20. We therefore encourage teams to continue playing in fixtures until the end of the Full Season so that their fees are not wasted.
The League Manager
The League Manager is your primary contact throughout the Full Season. Their details can be found above the league table for your team on the Soccersixes website. Please confirm with your League Manager the exact dates of the Full Season, including the date for Week 18 (the date in which notice to withdraw from the league must be given).
Flexible Squad System
Soccersixes operate a flexible squad system so an unlimited amount of players can be used to enable all teams field a team weekly and fulfil each league fixture.
Cancellation
You will pay us the full Pitch Hire Fee (see below) for cancelling a match or failing to attend a fixture. If a match is cancelled on less than 48 hours’ notice and we are unable to arrange your opponents another game you will also pay us the opponent’s Pitch Hire Fee. As Team Organiser you agree to make full payment all fees charges and fines relating to your Team. These are payable to us by debit card or bank transfer within 48 hours of the relevant fixture date.
It is crucial for teams to get game time, so if an opponent team cancels, your Team is required to attend a 'friendly' fixture if an alternative team can be found by Soccersixes. Your team will still be awarded a 5-0 win. You must continue to pay the Pitch Hire Fee for these 'friendly' fixtures.
In the event of a major one-off football event (for example, the World Cup Final) that would prevent multiple teams from attending a fixture, in the best interest of the league and teams, Soccersixes may offer, entirely in its discretion, a reduced cancellation fee of £20, or, an alternative playing time on that day.
Misconduct and Fines
Any player receiving a red card will be fined £10. This is payable before the next fixture, or if your Team is not attending any future fixtures, within 7 days of that player receiving the red card. You as Team Organiser are responsible for this fine. Any unacceptable behaviour which the League Manager considers serious will be reported to the relevant County FA.
Your Deposit
Deposit System:
- Deposits must be paid prior to the team’s first fixture (as communicated to you by the League Manager)
- Teams will have their deposit returned within 14 days of their final game with Soccersixes subject to the following:
- Teams must not have Pitch Hire Fees (or fines) outstanding;
- Teams must attend all fixtures in the Full Season. Any teams which miss or cancel a fixture forfeit their deposit for that Full Season. As such, any teams continuing for an additional Full Season must pay a further deposit (as communicated to you by the League Manager).
- Teams must give 2 weeks' written notice (by email to the relevant League Manager) before the end of the Full Season (Week 18) if they wish to withdraw from the league and have their deposit returned. Any teams which continue for a further Full Season (provided this amount has not been forfeited as above) will have their deposit applied to the additional Full Season.
Soccersixes' Rights to Recover Unpaid Debts (please read this carefully)
If you leave the league at any time with outstanding charges (including any Pitch Hire Fees, fines, or other related charges described above), Soccersixes will take the following steps to recover monies owed:
- Within 24 hours of a missed fixture, cancelled match, or otherwise unpaid fee, your League Manager will contact the Team Organiser by any means to notify them of the outstanding balance owed.
- On day 7 of these amounts being outstanding, the League Manager will write to the Team Organiser by email requesting payment of any outstanding balances owed. During this time, your team will not be permitted to attend their fixtures, but will still be responsible for the Pitch Hire Fee (including for their opponent).
- On day 14 of these amounts being outstanding the League Manager will write to the Team Organiser by email again requesting payment of any outstanding balances owed. The Team Organiser is responsible for payment of the Pitch Hire Fee for the Full Season, up to and including Week 20. This includes the additional Full Season if the Team is automatically enrolled. This is payable immediately.
- On day 28 of these amounts being outstanding the League Manager will write to the Team Organiser by email to notify of any next steps to recover these amounts. This may include referring the amounts due to a third-party debt collection agency.
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS:
- I acknowledge that participation in the League is at the teams own risk.
- I agree for my team to receive texts of Soccersixes� updates relating to news, issues and promotions.
