Double Header Guidance

As we get closer to the end of the season and teams no longer have enough sunday's left in the season to complete their full league schedule you may be set to play a Double Header to enable all fixtures in the Division to be completed by the end of the season - 19th May 2024.   

This guidance is where a team has to play 2 League matches on the same day.  You cannot have a double header that covers a League and a Cup match.

A double header match will count as 2 matches and both results need to be reported separately to Full Time. Both Team Administrators will receive 2 texts on the day and should text back both results.  You will also need to complete 2 online team-sheets on the Full Time website.  

As there are 2 games to be played there will be 2 sets of referee fees to pay. The team hosting the double header pays the referee their full fee for the 1st game and the opposition pays the referee their full fee for the 2nd game.

When the double header fixture is created in Full Time by the Fixture Secretary this will show the home venue for the 2 games to be played back to back. If for any reason you need to change the double header fixture to the opposition Club home venue this must be agreed at least 7 days prior to the double header fixture being played and the Fixture Secretary must receive the email confirmation from the opposition agreeing to this venue change.
