League Cases

When something goes wrong on or off the pitch, a league needs a fair, consistent and recorded way to deal with it. League Cases takes a disciplinary matter from first notice to ruling, with every step on the record.

What you can do

• Open a case with a title, a summary and a severity, and name one or more clubs in your league as respondents, complainants or witnesses.
• Serve it: each club's admins are notified and can open the case straight away.
• Collect evidence: clubs send statements, pleas, witness statements and other evidence in writing.
• Rule club by club, with an outcome, a sanction such as a warning, a fine, a points deduction or a suspension, and your reasoning.
• Bill fines: with League Billing on, a fine becomes a charge to the club automatically.
• Keep the record: a timeline shows each step, and every case has its own reference number.

Good to know

• Each club sees only its own evidence and its own ruling. When you are mediating, you can let clubs see each other's evidence.
• You can withdraw a case until you begin your review.
• Keep personal details out of the summary: the clubs involved can read it.
• Switching the power-up off locks the page; every case and its record is kept for when you switch it back on.
