WHAT IS A WAITING LIST?
The waiting list is designed to allow existing and new teams an equal opportunity to participate in Sport For Fun. The waiting list is posted at the bottom of each sports draw and will indicate the start date for the team.
If the draw is full when you enter or reenter a team you will go on the wating list. Date payment of your new games determines your team's position onn the waiting list. To avoid going on a waiting list teams are encouraged to pay for as many games as possible when they enter.
THE ‘RULES’
Participation and FUN is the aim of the game.
Scores are taken for the teams interest only.
The referee's decision is final. Physical or verbal abuse to the referee and other players will result in the player/team being removed from the competition.
Alcohol is not permitted on any ground or facility. Intoxicated palyers are prohibited from playing.
No games are played over the exam and holiday period.
Drink plenty of water - you will need it!
SPECIFIC TO THE GAME
The game starts when the referee blows the whistle and players run up to grab the ball. Players must not throw the balls until the second whistle has been blown after 10 seconds. Games run for five minutes (i.e. five 5 min rounds).
You are out when a ball hits you in the air below the shoulders (no bouncing off the floor or walls), someone on the other team catches your throw, you pass the centre line at any time, you hit an opposition player in the head or you duck your head down to hit the ball.
You are not out when you get hit in the head, catch the ball (removing opposition player), you block a shot with the ball you have or someone in your team catches the ball that has hit you (without it touching anything else).
You can come back in when someone on your team catches the ball. The first player eliminated is the first to return.
You win by having the most players in the game at the end of the five minute period!
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR TEAM CAN’T PLAY?
DEFAULTS
At least 24 hours notice is required when your team wants to default. When defaulting you are forfeiting the game you have already paid for. Defaults made within 24 hours of the game are deemed a no show.
NO SHOWS
If your team does not show for your game, you will be charged for an additional game as well as the ‘no show’ game. Two ‘no shows’ will result in your team being removed from the competition. ‘No shows’ are incredibly frustrating for everyone so please be considerate and call Unipol (479-5888) or e-mail unipol@otago.ac.nz as soon as you find out your team can’t play.
CANCELLATIONS
For cancellations please check the Unipol Recreation Centre website (www.unipol.co.nz) or phone (479-5888). Unipol reserves the right to cancel, change or add to the programme at any stage.
