(1) What about wet weather.
Rain is not a problem with the synthetic surface. Please assume games are ALWAYS ON, regardless of how light or heavy that rain is.
Games are only cancelled if lightning is close by but these instances are pretty rare.
PLEASE NOTE: if games are cancelled due to lightning, an email will be sent to all team managers.
The weather often passes quickly and just because one timeslot is cancelled due to lightning, it does not mean that all later timeslots are also cancelled.
Basically, unless the team manager receives an email saying your game is off, then your game is on. !!

There is plenty of cover for spectators from rain at Cromer Park.
The Northern Beaches Council sporting grounds wet weather service does not normally apply to the synthetic fields at Cromer Park during our summer tournament.

(2) I don’t have enough players this week. Can I borrow players instead of forfeiting.
Yes of course.! Forfeiting should be your last resort.
Please, always consider your opponents, as they are affected the most if you forfeit.
If you cannot field at least 4 players (including any borrowed players) please give us as much advance notice as possible by calling the Tournament Manager  0410-501761
See Playing rule 4 about borrowed players, but briefly,
• Teams must field a minimum of 4 players (including any borrowed players)
• A team cannot borrow more than 2 players in a game.
• A team cannot borrow the same player for more than 2 games.
• Players cannot be borrowed from a higher division.
• Borrowed players must be identified to the referee and the opposition team manager before commencing the game.

(3) How do I register additional players in my team.
New players can be registered anytime with a maximum of 10 players per team.
Simply send us an updated team registration form and tell your new player to register on-line.

(4) Players Insurance
For all details about insurance go to the Competition Information page.

(5) Referees Card.
Referees will have the match card.  To eliminate any errors on the competition table, both team managers (or a player from each team) should confirm the final score with the referee after the game.

(6) Why do we want to know the U/6-10 scores if they have no competition table.
MWSF supports Football Federation Australia guidelines that there be no competition tables up to U/10. The priority for these younger players should be towards improving their ball skills and having fun, not just playing to win. By continuing to monitor the progress of the teams with no competition table it gives us the flexibility to amend the draw (if required) to try and minimise the number of one-sided high scoring games.
We want all teams, the strong, and the not so strong, to have competitive games and enjoy the tournament.

(7) Can I purchase food or refreshments at Cromer Park.
A BBQ will be running most nights selling drinks etc at a reasonable price.
The Far Post Bistro in the club house (adjacent to Field.1) will also be open for a meal and drinks until 9:30 pm.
