Rule Amendments
Peterborough & District Football League
The League rules have been divided into two sections: governance and match-day related rules, these are mandatory
changes made by The FA for Season 2018/19 rules.
The changes fall into three categories, the Rules have been divided into two main sections of Governance and Match
Related Rules. This has resulted in several Rules being moved;
a.
Changes to make the wording of equivalent rules in SCOR and SCORY consistent, where possible.
b.
Any inconsistencies between the wording of the equivalent Rules within SCOR and SCORY have
been addressed where possible. In addition, the correct use of Definitions has been made and
references to the Fees and Fines Tariffs have been added throughout. The majority of changes made fall
within this category.
c.
Substantive changes to the Rules from matters arising during the 2017/18 season.
The purpose of (i) and (ii) is to make SCOR more user friendly and easier to follow, particularly for Leagues and Clubs.
