All matches played within the competition follow the standard netball rules as per Netball Australia but can be modified or changed at Centre Management’s discretion in the best interest and safety of all participants. There can be one or two umpires per game depending on availability. If any individual is interested in umpiring, please contact Netball Organiser Rosemarie Britton at rosemarie.britton@lismore.nsw.gov.au

All matches will be four 10-minute quarters, with a three-minute break at half time and a 30-second changing of ends and positions at quarter and three-quarter time.

Points will be awarded to teams in the rounds as follows:

• 2 points – win and win by forfeit
• 1 points – tie
• 0 point – loss

• 0 points – forfeit

Time slots for games are 5.30pm, 6.15pm, 7pm, 7.45pm and 8.30pm. Late arrivals will not delay game commencement. Games will start on time. There will be no injury time given during the rounds. 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 captains are responsible for recording player attendance on their team cards.

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.

Each team must provide a scorer each week. This person will need to sit at the scorer’s bench placed at each court.

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.

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.
