NEW RULES IN EFFECT FOR PKL

The Premier League Kabaddi is concerned about the continued last minute postponements of matches by participating teams.

While the PLK allowed for some postponements in the interest of the development of the game, it is now felt that teams are beginning to abuse the process for trivial reasons.

As such the following rules would be in place immediately.

1. Any request for postponement of matches must be made in writing at least seven days before the start of the scheduled match.
2. No request for postponement would be entertained if it was made less than seven days before the scheduled match
3. The PLK deserves the right to reject any such application if it deems the request does not have strong valid reasons.
4. Teams that fail to play their scheduled matches in such cases would be penalised as follows:
4.1 A mandatory RM 100 fine
4.2 The scheduled match would be awarded to their opponents with a scoreline of 0-50
4.3 If any team fails to play two matches as scheduled they would be scratched from the PLK and a mandatory fine of RM 500 would be imposed.

Final warnings are also issued to the following teams:

MIG Sentosa and Segar Kabaddi

a. The team would be scratched from the league if they fail to turn up for their next match on June 21st 2009.
b. If the team is scratched, all their previous results in the competition would be also scratched.
c. If the team is scratched, they would be barred from taking part in any Kuala Lumpur Kabaddi Association (KAKL) sanctioned tournaments for a period of twelve (12) months.
d. A mandatory fine of RM 500 would be imposed on the team
