It is the responsibility of team captains to make sure that all players know the time of their games and that team members arrive on time.
Team Cards
Players are responsible for recording their attendance on their team cards.
Officials
Umpires have the final say – if a player abuses or shows dissent from an umpire’s decision the offending player will be asked to leave the court and will not be allowed back on the court for the rest of the game. An offending player’s position may not be filled unless the offending player was centre.
Scorers
Each team must provide a scorer each week. This person will need to sit at the scorer’s bench placed at each court.
Offences
Swearing, bad language, racist or discriminatory comments, overt dissent from a referee’s or umpire’s decision, fighting and not playing within the spirit of the game will not be tolerated. Players will receive an official warning before being deregistered from the competition on a repeat offence.
Insurance
All players enter the centre at their own risk. They acknowledge that any leisure, sporting or function activity or any other purpose/use undertaken at Goonellabah Sports & Aquatic Centre (GSAC) may have some inherit risk and that this risk is to be assumed, therefore waiving any claim that may arise from any claim against GSAC. Personal Accident Insurance has been attained by GSAC and once registration is completed, that player is covered.
Forfeit
Teams are asked to contact the centre with a minimum of 24 hours’ notice if they wish to forfeit their match. However, it would be appreciated if as much notice as possible is given to minimise any inconvenience to other players and umpires. There is a $65 forfeit fee for notice given less than 24 hours before a game.
PLEASE NOTE: This netball comp is designed for fun. There is to be no slandering, pushing or rough play between teams or towards umpires.
