Proposal 1 proposed JP Seconded FS
The Rules Committee will look closely at the way in which the Rules are set out and will simplify where possible and remove anomalies. This will be done without changing the Rules. Changes from the AGM will be applied.
|
|
Proposal 2 proposed JP Seconded FS
Remove Cup Rule 7
This we feel complicates things requiring teams to look at two sets of Rules.
To simplify, all Rules applying to the Cup Competition will now be added to the Cup Rules. Leaving League Rules only applying to the League.
Rules to be added to CUP Rules from League Rules are;-
Rule 13 Senior Team Concedes
Rule 22 Re Appeals
Rule 12 Results
Rule 14 Number of Players
Rule 15 Unable to play
The Cup Rules will be re-ordered by the Rules Committee. However no Rules will be changed unless accepted by voting on proposals at the AGM

Proposal 3 proposed JP Seconded FS
Rule 24: Double Headers Consideration will be given to any proposal sent to the Rules Committee regarding League games in the North West Leagues being used as Double Headers with another League game or Cup games.
Permission to do so must be sought from the Rules Committee and agreed by both sides

Proposal 4 proposed JP Seconded FS
CUP RULE 16 Concedes

Proposal 7 proposed JP Seconded FS
Change to this only for the CUP Competitions
CUP Rule 19: Number of Players
In all Cup Competitions each side shall supply a minimum of 12 players for a game to go ahead. There will be no more than ONE man advantage to any team at the start of the game. Failure to supply a minimum of 12 players will result in elimination from the Cup Competition.
Teams must have a full complement of Front Row to start a game.

Proposal 8 proposed JP Seconded FS
Cup RULE 2 Entry To Cup
All clubs who enter North West Leagues are expected to enter the Cups.
Cup RULE 16 Concedes

|
|
Proposal 9 proposed JP Seconded FS
Rule 5 and others relating to Premier / Championship League and Conferences
Commencing with season 2020/21 the Premier League and Championship will be reinstated as 14 team Leagues as is the case with all other Leagues.
Promotion and relegation in these Leagues and Division 1 in season 2019/2020 will reflect this.
The 14 will be made up of Conference A (6), Conference B (top 4 ), Conference C (Top 2) and Top 2 in Division 1.
The 6 other teams in the Conferences will be relegated to Division 1.
The Man-off Rule will apply in the Premier League
One bonus point for 4 tries will apply in the Premier League

Proposal 10 Proposed by Barry Allen Seconded by JP
Rule 7, 8, 9: Points allocation
I would like to propose that the points
allocation is :-
5 for a win or walkover,
3 for a draw,
1 for playing,
0 for a concede.
1 point for losing within 7 points.
A losing bonus point would give 2 points which is less than the points for a draw (3).
The differences between the points allocations would be the same as RFU points.
Difference between Win and Draw:- NOWIRUL 5 - 3 = 2, RFU 4 - 2 = 2
Difference between Draw and Loss:- NOWIRUL 3 - 1 = 2, RFU 2 - 0 = 2.
