- Referees are appointed by the respective county FAs - if you have any issues, these must be reported to them directly
- Teamsheets are required in both county cup competitions
- Extra time DOES take place in all Essex FA cup competitions but DOES NOT take place in London competitions until semi-final stage
- Different referee match fees apply including a travel expenses allowance in London competitions
- Results must be reported to both the county FA and to the league after the match, irrespective of being home or away
- No Essex Alliance League E-Card is required for external competition matches but you will have to send in your teamsheets to the respective county FAs
