What happens if a team doesn't turn up?

Under NSL Handbook Rule 15, teams must be in the dressing rooms at least 70 minutes before kick-off. If a match isn't played because a team arrives late or doesn't arrive:

• the club is charged with misconduct, and a bus breakdown, logistical problem or getting lost is no defence
• if found guilty, the opponent is normally awarded a walk-over: a 3-0 win
• if both teams are at fault, both get 0 points with 3 goals against
• the Disciplinary Committee can choose a different sanction, and may order a replay in a case of force majeure
