LOCAL RULES

  1. All players must wear the official BJTA playing singlet – no player will be allowed to take the field if not properly attired.
  2. Forfeits – Teams forfeiting will be deemed to have lost 5-0 to team forfeited against. We would appreciate early notice of forfeit as a courtesy to opposition teams as we can often arrange a game for the other team when given enough notice.
  3. Boys/Mixed Competitions – there are no rules regarding number of males/females on field at any time.
  4. Squad size – it is recommended that you register at least 9 players to your team squad. This will hopefully reduce forfeits if players unavailable for some games. (This does not apply to U7s)
  5. Coaches/Managers allowed on field in U7 games ONLY
  6. Competition is six (6) players on the field at any time in all ages
  7. Unregistered Players – you cannot use a player who is not registered in your team.
