The Solihull and District Oakbourne Football League deem that it is unsatisfactory and unacceptable for league titles or cup competition championships to be awarded by any form of default.

Whilst reserving the right to award matches and points throughout the season, when teams have not fulfilled fixtures or fallen into other categories that call for a council decision to take such action, the deciding of league titles and cup championships will be treated as a separate issue. In all cases, the league will insist that fixtures that effect the league titles or cup championships be played as specified by the fixtures secretary.

Teams that do not comply with this directive, and do not play such matches, will be deemed to have brought the league into disrepute. (See directive 41) Any such team will be dealt with in the severest manner open to the league council.

If all other options fail, the league council reserve the right to cancel any of the given competitions that are scheduled within the league structure for any particular season at any point in there actual progress. In the case of cup competitions, this could mean that the actual final would be cancelled and the trophies available would not be used. In the case of a league title, the title and individual awards for that particular season would not be presented.

The decision on what is actually recorded within the archived records of the league would be made by the league council. However, it would be normal for the council to request input from the member teams prior to any such decision being made.
