OYFL League Rules 23 2023-2024 The manager/coaches should remain in the technical area whilst the match is in play unless asked on to the pitch by the referee, e.g. to treat an injury. The number of managers/coaches in a team’s technical area will be limited to three (3). Any other managers/coaches present will be treated as spectators and will have to stand in the designated spectator area. The substitutes should remain in the technical area unless warming up, which should be done away from the pitch, where possible, and substitutes must wear a jacket, top or bib that will distinguish them from players on the pitch. (B) Except by permission of the Management Committee all Competition Matches must be played on the dates originally fixed but priority shall be given to The FA and parent County Association Cup Competitions. All other matches must be considered secondary. Clubs may mutually agree to bring forward a Competition Match with the consent of the (Fixtures) Secretary. Failure to comply with this Rule will result in a fine in accordance with the Fines Tariff. In the case of a revised fixture date, the Clubs must be given by the Competition 5 clear days’ notice of the Competition Match (unless otherwise mutually agreed). COUNTY CUP RULE Teams competing in more than one County Cup should notify the Competition of their entry into two or more County Cup competitions. In all such cases, the team will not be entered into the League Cup to avoid the potential for delays to the League Cup competition. DOUBLE HEADER RULE In cases of fixture congestion and subject to compliance with maximum playing times, the Fixture Secretary can determine that ‘double headers’ shall be played. ‘Double headers’ are two League matches between the same opponents, played on the same date, at the same venue. The matches will be regarded as separate matches producing the season’s two League results between the teams involved. The pitch and Referee’s fee and expenses will be shared 50% each by the teams involved. The team whose home pitch is used shall collect the monies due and pay the Referee. The duration of the fixtures shall be: Under 12s: 2 separate matches of 40 minutes each (20 minutes per half) – maximum playing time of 80 minutes. Under 13s: 2 separate matches of 50 minutes each (25 minutes per half) – maximum playing time of 100 minutes. Under 14s: 2 separate matches of 50 minutes each (25 minutes per half) – maximum playing time of 100 minutes. Under 15s: 2 separate matches of 50 minutes each (25 minutes per half) – maximum playing time of 100 minutes. Under 16s: 2 separate matches of 50 minutes each (25 minutes per half) – maximum playing time of 100 minutes. Under 17s: 2 separate matches of 50 minutes each (25 minutes per half) – maximum playing time of 100 minutes. Under 18s: 2 separate matches of 50 minutes each (25 minutes per half) – maximum playing time of 100 minutes.

If not so provided, the away Club shall seek such details and report the circumstances to the Competition.
