Wet Weather Policy

The Home team is responsible to assess the state of the ground and to advise the opposition by 6pm on the Saturday prior to the match, if the ground is unsuitable for play.

All games are to be played unless the Home team notifies the opposition that the ground is unsuitable for play.

It is acceptable for the Home team to source an alternative ground fit for play for the match and advise the opposition of the change of venue, without advising the NEJCA. If no advice is received, the opposition will be required to attend the listed ground and failure to do so will constitute a forfeit.

After the scheduled completion of the round, the NEJCA Executive will review the matches played and if less than 75% of the matches were played per division (red, blue, white) the complete round per division will be cancelled for premiership points.

All games washed out in the first week of a two-day game will become a one-day game on the second week.
