Kick off

Please ensure that adequate light will be available should extra time be required.

 

Extra Time

10 minutes each way.

 

Touch Judges

IF the society appoints touch judges, it will be required to confirm in writing with both clubs that the touch judges have powers under law 6B(6). The Society Secretary(s) will be responsible for this , for the avoidance of any doubt. The team of three will be advised that they have powers under law 6B(6).

Referees MUST not ‘appoint’ themselves as arbiters of this requirement i.e. they will not be able to pick up touch judges and give them powers unilaterally.

- You are required to identify all Front Row players in your squad by marking "FR" after each players name on the Match Result Card.

- Clubs failing to fulfil a fixture in this season's competition will be disqualified from entering any Powergen RFU Knockout Cup competitions in Season 2005/06.

- Player Eligibility - Teams must only select players who are Effectively Registered to their club as shown on the official RFU Player Registration computer listing.

- Foreign Players - Please note that this season the limitation on the number of Foreign Players you may select has been removed. Clubs may select any number of Foreign Players, providing they meet all other Player Eligibility criteria.

- Replacements - Clubs may select no more than 4 replacements or substitutes. See Regulation 10 (Intermediate Cup) or Regulation 11 (Junior Vase).

The RFU has determined that, for all Powergen knockout cup matches, teams participating in these Competitions are required to have front row cover for all front row positions.

For the avoidance of doubt, teams must have cover for all 3 front row positions on the first and second occasion for all Powergen Intermediate Cup and Junior Vase matches.

Drawn Matches - See Regulation 8 (Intermediate Cup) or Regulation 9 (Junior Vase). Extra time should be considered when setting a kick-off time and possibly made earlier in case of bad light.

The draw for Round 3 will take place on 19 October at Twickenham. The draw will be available on the RFU website (http://www.rfu.com) from 19 October. Do not telephone Operations for information on the draw until 20 October.
