3. Teams can not go inactive the last 2 weeks of the season.

3. When both teams need a reservist, no reservist should be used at all. E.g.: A team that was fortunate enough to get a reservist for their match (making it 4 total) cannot play their match against a team of 3 (missing a reservist). In such a case, the match should be played 3v3.
4. In all cases, a team will be ineligible to play its match if it has fewer than 3 rostered players present.
5. Teams are allowed to substitute rostered players in-between matches, or during timeouts in-between rounds.

   2nd timeout	5 minutes

2. Once the timeout expires, the match must proceed.
3. 2 timeouts cannot be called in succession and at least 1 round must be played between timeouts.
4. In the event a team has no more timeouts remaining and is facing another delay of more than 2 minutes, they must decide immediately to play the round with the players they have or forfeit the match.
5. Failure to abide by this rule can result in League Moderators reviewing and issuing a penalty to the offending team up to and including forfeiture of the match.

1. Where neither team made any arrangement efforts, the match will be considered cancelled;
2. A score of 18-15 may be awarded by default with the 'win' attributed to the team determined to have been available on the most days with a higher weighting given to weekend availability;
