[3] Due to the preparation of the Mauritius national football team for the 2011 edition of the Indian Ocean Games, the season was shortened.
From this season onwards, clubs would have to declare a squad of no more than three players of foreign origin, in an attempt to encourage the growth of Mauritian footballers.
They must have a club house or a room equipped with telephone, fax, and/or internet connection with a full-time administrative secretary.
The MFA also required that teams hire a qualified coach, holding at least a C license, a doctor and a physio.
The MFA looked into the matter, and ruled in favor of ASRR, suspending Ernest for two weeks and forcing the game to be replayed in May.
This time, however, the punishment was much harsher, as they suspended Badul for six months (putting his chances of representing Mauritius in the 2011 IOG in the air) and fining Petite Rivière Noire 3000 rupees.
Petite Rivière Noire expressed outrage at how harsh was the penalty, as compared to the Ernest incident.
[16] On 22 June 2011, after a meeting was held by the National Managing Committee of the MFA, it was determined that Etoile de L'Ouest SC was unfit to compete in the Mauritian League after losing by wide margins in the previous few games and being very unprofessional, which included fielding only 8 players in a game.
