10. Mercy Rule; the Victory League is an environment for children to develop through playing the game. Where playing levels will be mixed it’s important to challenge the stronger teams whilst not discouraging less experienced players and teams from continuing their football journey. With this in mind a ‘Mercy Rule’ shall be applied as follows;
U8, U10, U12 - where goals scored less goals conceded is 3 or greater:
The team losing may bring on an extra (8th) player until such time the defecit is 2 or less.

16. League Positions will be determined through accumulated points.
Win = 3 points
Draw = 1 point
Loss = 0 points
In the result of two or more teams accumulating the same amount of points the deciding factor shall be on highest goal difference (goals scored less goals conceded). If still level then the highest amount of goals scored shall determine.
For Play-off Games (where applicable) then a tied result shall be determined by the best of 3 penalty kicks, selected from the players who finished the game. If still tied then sudden-death applies using the remaining players who finished the game.
17. Forfeit of Games;
If a team is unable to play a scheduled game and does not provide the organisers with at least two weeks’ notice the match and the points will be forfeited.
3 points and 3 goals will be awarded to the opposing team
Where such a team cancels last minute the organisers will make its best efforts to ensure that the team affected by the late cancellation gets to play a friendly game against one of the other teams.
If a team fails to show up for 2 games in a season, including last minute cancellations, then they will be withdrawn from the Victory League.
18. Team Trophies & Medals;

The Committee shall have the power to deal with any matters arising, not provided for in these rules.
The Committee reserves the right to amend these rules.
21. The Committee regrets they cannot accept liability for Players or Spectators injuries, or loss or damage to property. The committee strongly recommends that parents enrolling their child to participate in the League should take out appropriate insurance protection.
22. The League Parent Code of Conduct
We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behavior in the game. Behavior is an increasing concern in the game. This includes both the abuse of match officials and the unacceptable behavior by over competitive parents, spectators and coaches on the side-lines.
By signing your child into the Victory League 2022/23 Season you agree to play your part and observe The League Code of Conduct;
Be your child’s best fan and support him/her unconditionally.
Support all the players in your child’s squad. Do not criticize anyone.
Help your child to focus on the performance and not the result. Remember winning is not as important as the performance.
Do not criticize the opponents, their parents or officials.
Display self-control in all situations. Never use foul or abusive language at any time.
Never audibly dispute a referee’s decision. They will make mistakes. We all do. If you abuse or shout at the referee you are breaking the rules of the game.
Parents must not coach from the touchline during matches and leave this to the coach or you will cause confusion and erode your child’s confidence.
Failure to comply will lead in a warning and potential disqualification from the league!

透過讓您的孩子加入第八屆 2022/2023勝利聯盟賽,意味著您同意成為一份子並閱讀以下的規範:
為您的孩子打氣並無條件的支持他。
支持您的孩子的所有隊友,不要評論任何人。
幫助您的孩子專注於場上的表現而非最後的比賽成績。比賽的結果並沒有場上的表現來得重要。
不要評論對手、對手的家長及官方人員。
在任何情況下都要自制。不要於任何時候使用攻擊性的言語。
嚴禁質疑裁判的判決。裁判們偶爾會出差錯,大家都會。若是攻擊或是對著裁判大吼都是違反比賽規則的。
家長嚴禁於比賽及訓練時指導小朋友,請將指導權留給教練以避免小朋友的困惑或是影響到小朋友的自信心。
如果未能夠遵守,大會將給予警告且有可能失去聯賽比賽資格.
