Coaches, Scorers and Umpires please read the tournament rules. The day runs very briskly and to stay on schedule, we need teams and umpires to be on the court on time, and the completed scoresheets to be returned to the office promptly.
The Courtside Café will be open for food and drinks (including coffee!) and the MENA Rep Program will be running a BBQ with hamburgers and sausages.
Thanks to the ongoing support of Michael Sukkar MP, Federal Member for Deakin, who has once again sponsored this event.
Although this is a tournament and the teams are playing for medals, it is also meant to be a fun day so play in the spirit of the game and enjoy yourselves.
Finally, if you have any issues during the day, please visit the competition office window.
