League Rules & Regulations

Official guidelines for Season II · 6‑a‑side

Important Notice

All teams and players must read and agree to these rules before participating in the Seeta Football League. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in penalties or disqualification.

Match Format & Play

1. Format & Duration

Matches are played 6 players a side (five outfield + a goalkeeper). Each game lasts 30 minutes — two halves of 15 minutes with a short half‑time break. Rolling substitutions are allowed from a team's registered squad.

2. Kick‑off & Scheduling

Matches officially start at 10:00 AM; teams should be ready 15 minutes before. League matchdays are held once every three (3) weeks, on a Sunday, and the fixture graphic is published the week before.

⏱️ Late / no‑show: a team more than 10 minutes late forfeits the match — a walkover (recorded 3–0) is awarded to the opponents.

3. Eligible Players

Only registered players may play — a player must appear on the team's official squad (with a passport photo) before taking the field. A squad may include a maximum of three (3) non‑Seetanian players; the rest must be Seetanians.

4. Financial Standing (50% Rule)

A team is only eligible to be fixtured and play once it has contributed at least 50% of its required dues. Teams below this threshold will not play until they comply.

5. Kit & Footwear

Every team must have a distinct jersey representing it (goalkeepers in a contrasting colour). Turf shoes are allowed; metal studs or footwear the referee deems dangerous are not permitted.

Discipline — Cards & Conduct

Yellow Card → 2‑Minute Sin‑Bin

A cautioned player leaves the pitch and serves two (2) minutes off. The team plays a player short for that time and may not replace them until the two minutes elapse.

Red Card → Out for the Match

A player shown a red card misses the remainder of that game and takes no further part. The team plays short for the rest of the match; serious offences may carry further sanctions from the Committee.

Respect the Referee

Interaction with or dissent toward the referee is punishable. The sanction (caution, sin‑bin, dismissal, or further suspension) is applied at the referee's discretion, based on the severity and impact of the conduct.
