1. All games will be four x eight minutes with a two-minute break at the end of each quarter.
2. Each court will be provided with the game ball – Gilbert netball. This must be used for all games. Teams are to provide their own warmup balls.
3. Teams are to provide their own first aid kit, timekeeper and scorer.
4. All games will be stopwatch timed courtside but will start on the central bell. Team officials shall agree prior to start of the game who is responsible for timekeeping.
5. Official score shall be recorded on the official scorecard – to avoid discrepancies the timekeeper and scorer will sit together (table provided courtside).
6. Points – four for a win, two for a draw, one for a loss by five goals or less. If teams are equal on points after round-robin play, placings will be decided by goal ratio.
7. Sections with 7 teams cross over and play each other, there is no bye so that all teams have had an equal number of games / court time. The score does not count for the cross over game but the game MUST be played.
8. In quarters, semifinals and final – if there is a draw at full time, play must continue until one team has a two goal advantage.
9. Injury time – As per international rules. The umpire is the sole official of the injury time taken.
10. Teams will be defaulted if they are not on court ready to play within two minutes of the scheduled start.
