The Summer League 2023 fixtures list is posted on the SCPA website. It gives the dates on which both home and away fixtures are expected to be played and all fixtures should be played within six weeks of the original fixture date or before the end of the season, whichever is the sooner. The guidance on arranging fixtures in the Captains Handbook makes it clear that as soon as any fixture is rearranged details of the change to the fixture list should be submitted to the Fixtures Officer.
Some teams have been rescheduling matches by reversing the home and away fixtures, but this will usually mean that the fixture listed to be played first on the website will fall outside the six-week window. Fixture reversal is often a sensible way to get around problems with the availability of a playing venue and this is the only reason that fixture reversal should be used. As soon as both teams agree on fixture reversal, the home captain must notify the Fixtures Officer, giving details of why the venue could not be used. If reversed fixture games are played without notifying the Fixtures Officer, the fixtures list can show games as not being completed within the six-week window and the teams involved may be referred to the Disputes Panel who will then request clarification.
