These new rule changes will be applied from our Preseason Tournament onwards, so we ask all Umpires, Players, Team Managers, and Coaches to review them before taking the pitch. Please also share with your spectators to raise their awareness.
For the full breakdown of every rule change, including the effect on play and which competitions they apply to, please read the complete guidance document:
