Scoring System - Our inclusive Every Point Counts scoring system provides the perfect platform for new players to the sport whilst creating a positive team spirit.
Format - The championships run across three stages. All teams are guaranteed to compete in two stages of the competition.
Teams - Each team consists of 5 male or 5 female players or 4 players (2 girls and 2 boys) for mixed teams.
Gender Policy - If a school does not enter a female team into the championships, but there is a female player/s at the school who wishes to participate, then that player may compete in the boy’s team, provided they play in merit order. In the event that a girl/s compete in the boys team, the ratio of merit order must 3/2 boys to girls in any given fixture.
