Team playing category

Teams will categorized based on selected playing category and division when registering and on previous comp performance and/or grading. We may re-categorize, if a team is under or over performing in the allocated category. 

If team category numbers are low we may combine age and genders categories. Some examples:

  • u10 girls with u9 mixed
  • u11 girls with u10 boys
  • u9 mixed with u8 boys
  • u12 boys with u13 boys 

Team organisers will be kept updated regarding team numbers from 4 weeks prior to start of comp.

Comp playing categories will only go ahead once we have a min of 4 teams.

If we do not have enough teams to combine into a min of 4 teams we will notify teams and provide a full refund.- see  Refund Policy

Byes

There may be a number of comp categories that have an odd number of teams in them.

Depending on the number of teams in your comp or playing category you may get 1 or 2 byes. 

Our policy here is to schedule friendly games to the teams affected by the bye i.e. when there is no other team to play against due to the odd number of teams.

In some instances we may even schedule a game against another similar category that also has a bye or an odd number of teams,.

We normally randomly allocate a team in the same category to play a second game against the Bye team or the team that does not have any opposition for that round. 

The Bye team get 3 points for the Bye regardless if they play a friendly or not. The friendly game result is not reflected in the results or tables. 

Team may elect not to play their bye game at the start of the comp and take a break. We need to know as soon as the comp categories are confirmed, normally 2-3 weeks before the start of the comp.
