We play 1 or 2 seasons of a social / fun league - where the game can be almost any format - Triples - Doubles or another format designed by the teams .....

Then we play two seasons of the"Nationals" Format and have Monday / Sunday Training sessions.
(These sessions are closed to Nationals Players only - unless invited.)



RULES

The rules for the Nationals format are those of the Australian National Championships - linked below.

2011 Nationals Rules - PDF
(Right click and Save File as)

We do advise players that we do not run the same finals format - but instead we run a basic ascension method of , the last 3 teams play and the losing team is cut.

The winning team of the season is automatically in the finals with all other teams needing to play the basic ascension.

For all games including Finals - Points are awarded 3 for a win - 2 for second and 1 for last place.

In the event of any ties - the teams total score will be the decider.
If there is still a draw it will be the position the team finished at the end of the season.



NEW PLAYERS

New players are advised that joining the league - especially during the Nationals Training seasons - can be somewhat disheartening, as during these seasons players are playing at their top level ready for Nationals - so it is a little more "competitive" than usual.

For that reason we suggest that when you do play in this season it might be better to mix in with senior players that are not attending the Nationals. This will give you some direction and let you learn the best way to play at this level.



GENERAL GUIDELINES

Winning teams of any season are expected to break up for the next season, and share their experience.
Teams consisting of new players, that insist on playing as a team and not mixing may do so but are advised that this is not the "best" experience and should really consider mixing.
All players should make themselves aware of the current rules and are expected to adhere to them prior to actually playing.
