In the event of washouts in the Finals Series the following rules shall apply:-

1. The season shall be put back one week if this is possible.

If it is not possible to put the season back one week the following rules shall apply:-

 

2. In the event of a washout of the Semi-Finals round, team 1 will play team 4

and team 2 will play team 3 (team positions on competition point score) as a

replacement of the Finals round; winners proceed directly to Grand Final.

 

3. In the event of a washout of the Finals round, team 1 will play team 2 (team

positions on competition point score) as a replacement of the Grand Finals

round; winner to be Grand Final Winner, loser to be Grand Final Runner-Up.

 

4. In the event of a washout of the Grand Finals, the competition Finals Series shall be declared null and void for the season - there shall be no Grand Final Winner or Grand Final Runner-Up - because no game has been played.
