Opponents must be given at least two reasonable dates for the playing of the game. The game must be played by the ‘round completion date’ shown on the draw sheet.

4. Should the Challenger fail to issue the challenge by the date shown on the draw sheet then their opponent/s will automatically become the Challenger and it will become their responsibility to immediately issue two reasonable alternative dates to play the round.
