All teams must provide a non-player for each game to assist with scoring and timekeeping. Fulfilling this duty with bench/sideline players is not sufficient. Please add this person to your roster as Team Admin.

The team fees will cover player injury insurance, first aid services, tournament staff, event photography and hygiene measures.

Food is not provided as part of the team fee due to COVID-19 hygiene measures. Casey Netball Association will be running a canteen and a BBQ during the event using appropriate food handling and COVID-19 hygiene protocols.

Tournament Rules:

VIUC will be played under WFDF Rules, with the following adjustments.

• Courts are 30.5m long and 15.25m wide, with 4.5m endzones.
• Teams play with 5 players on the court, with at least 2 male and 2 female players on the court at all times.
• Games will be played to 20-25 minutes (time cap to be advised closer to the event) with no points cap.
• No half time and no time outs.
• Game finishes at time cap. If the disc is mid-air at time cap, the outcome of the throw stands. If the score is level at time cap, play continues until the next goal is scored.
• Maximum stall count is 8.
  • Contested stall comes in at 6. Offensive fouls come in at max 7. All other calls come in at max 5.
• When a goal is scored, the player must signal the goal by extending both arms directly up, then place the disc on the ground at the point the goal was scored. Opposition then plays the disc from there without a disc check.
• Teams attacking/defending endzones remain static for the duration of the game (they do not swap after every goal).
• Substitutions can be made at any time, with the player coming off tagging with the player coming on in front of the scorer's desk (except in the case of an injury stoppage). The player coming on cannot enter the court until the player coming off has crossed the sideline. All players are to keep the space in front of the scorer's desk clear at all other times.
• Goals cannot be scored from the defensive "third" of the court (as marked by lines running across). This rule is in place as a safety precaution because of insufficient run-off space at the back of the endzones to allow players to safely slow down after entering the endzone at full pace.
