Please note places are limited and this is first come, first served.
Rules
- A minimum of 3 females on court at all times

- Teams that do not have 6 of their registered players present may borrow a player from another team. They will however forfeit that set and each set after if they continue with another team’s player.
- In the event of a dispute the organisers decision is final.
- Substitutions can take place at any stage during matches and do not need to be recorded.

Referees
Teams when not playing will be scheduled to referee and keep the score for other matches.
The schedule for refereeing/officiating will be listed on the match schedule.
3 people will be required from each team for refereeing duties, 1st referee, 2nd referee and a scorekeeper. (Please try to allocate these to your members before the game day)
All teams are asked to show respect for match officials and participate in the matches with a sense of fair play and with a good sportsmanlike attitude.
