Fees & Charges  

Teams will be required to nominate a credit card prior to the commencement of the first game. Direct debits are processed the day before the game, on a week-by-week basis. The weekly game fee is $66 per team and there is NO registration fees.   

Failure to make the payment before 5pm on game day, will unfortunately result in a $10 late penalty, which will be added to your game fee.

Please note, all teams must pay prior to their game in order to play.  
 

Forfeiting a game

Any forfeits advised with a least 24 hours’ notice prior to the commencement of the game will be liable for just your standard game fee of $66.   

Teams forfeiting on the day of their game, will be required to pay a standard game fee ($66) plus the oppositions game fee of $66 ($132 in total).

Forfeit

Withdrawals  

Teams that choose to withdraw their team during the season will incur a $192 withdrawal fee (equivalent of three match fees).   

At the end of the season, teams can decide whether to re-register into the next season. Registrations do NOT roll over to the next season, so as a result, teams must register for each season during the registration period. This allows new teams the opportunity to engage with our local community at regular intervals.
