What happens if our team arrives late or doesn't arrive?

Under NSL Handbook Rule 15, if a match is not played because a team arrives late or not at all:

• the club is charged with misconduct
• a vehicle breakdown, logistical problem or not finding the venue is no defence
• if found guilty, the opponent normally gets a walk-over (a 3-0 win), unless the Disciplinary Committee decides another sanction is more appropriate
• if both teams are guilty, both get 0 points and 3 goals against, unless the Committee decides otherwise
• in a case of force majeure, the Committee may order a replay
