Clubs are encouraged to communicate with each other (Club Chairs of Rugby) and if an agreement is reached around cup tied players, the county office MUST be informed in writing on what the agreement is and the players must be clearly identified.  If subsequently a complaint is received around that particular match, the matter investigated and the complaint upheld, the offending team will be removed from the competition. 

It should also be stated that if a complaint is received and investigated or if match card scrutiny identifies a breach of integrity around the rules, and it is found that players have been played who are cup tied, the offending team will be removed from the competition.

If in doubt contact Claire at the County Office who can advise. If Claire is not available, contact Craig Johnston or Ken Fraser.
