COMPETITION RULES: It is strongly advised that you first read and familiarise yourself with the rules which govern our competition.

GRADING: Where there are multiple grades for an age division the manager will be required to nominate a grade, the final decision regarding of each team will be at the discretion of the Executive Committee having regard to player experience and previous results. This year there will be a limit of 4 JSC rep players per team, if a team has more than this limit they will be graded into a higher age division. The final grading decision will be at the discretion of the Committee. It is important to enter into the proper division having regard to the experience of your team. We will review teams and players on registration and reserve the right to move into more appropriate divisions assessing from player experience and previous results before the competition commences. Our strong preference is to not have to move teams once the competition has commenced as it causes disruption and potential inequality to re-allocate teams in different divisions so it is important to choose correct division.

EQUIPMENT: Each team will be provided with a match ball. Only moulded boots are allowed, no metal studs. Singlets from previous seasons will be allowed to be worn, otherwise it's $25 a singlet.

TIMES: 25 minute games, touch down turnaround. Times will be announced once registrations are finalised and the draw prepared.

SCHEDULE: the draft schedule is to play the first three rounds from the last week of August, break for school holidays, return in October for rounds 4 to 10 and play finals in November. The schedule will be confirmed once registrations are completed.

MANAGERS: all teams must have an adult responsible (as Manager) for the team and set up the team registration in mysideline.com.au. The Manager will also be the contact point for Balmain Touch communications. Managers are able to now check their player registrations by accessing the Manager Portal on Mysideline. For further information on how to use the portal please refer to the TFA website. Managers are required to provide a Working with Children Check.

ACTIVE KIDS: There is an option to use the active kids voucher when registering.

SUBSEQUENT TEAM REGO: Those players registering in 2 teams should be aware of possible time clashes. Please also be aware that no fixture adjustments will be made to accommodate individual players. A Division 1 player must register in a Division 1 second team. Please also be aware that no fixture adjustments will be made to accommodate players when Semis & GFs are scheduled as we cannot cater for all circumstances. So please choose carefully when registering in a second team.
