High School Championships

EVENT CONDITIONS:
1.	Cost per team, ‘Team Fee’ is $200* (GST inclusive) plus player membership fees ($10pp for any non-registered on PlayHQ players). An umpire fee is applicable if you are unable to bring your own official for the Regional Carnival. 

2.	Schools can enter multiple teams in each gender division if they wish. However, if the cap of twelve (12) teams is reached, Netball Tasmania will only accept one team per school, per division.

3.	Where schools enter teams in both the 7/8 and 9/10  age groups, grade levels must be adhered to.  For example, 9/10 students cannot play down to make up numbers in the younger division and vice versa. If schools are entering only a 9/10 team, younger students may be granted an exemption to ensure that a team is filled upon request. This request will take the form of an email from the school coordinator to Netball Tasmania // Mackenzie Queen. 

4.	Teams will be split into Pools in each region, with the top two teams (in each gender division) from each region then progressing through to the State Final, to be held in the North West region in November.
