In the case of a broken or cut wristband, the Player and Team Manager are to report at the CCIC Officials desk with the broken wristband to be re-confirmed and re-registered at least 60mins prior to their next game. There will be a charge of $5 per re-registration as we need to ensure player eligibility.
Teams who field players who are not registered to their team/age category may lose all points for that game and be suspended from the competition.
The Registration of Players, including proof of age, is mandatory and must be undertaken in line with the timelines set by the tournament organisers. Players are allowed to play up to 2 years up at the discretion of the team's coach and player's parents in respect to the player's ability and physicality.
