Terms Of Registration
Terms and Conditions
1. Registration and Insurance
All players must be registered with a State Association for insurance purposes before participating. Players who are not currently members may purchase a two-day membership for $30 via the VACT website (registration link provided). Only players recorded on the official scoresheet are eligible to play, and players must have participated in at least one round match to be eligible for finals.
2. Team Contact Details
Each registered team must provide accurate contact information, including full name, email address, mobile number, and correct team name. Teams are responsible for ensuring this information is kept up to date for the duration of the tournament.
3. Division Allocation
VACT reserves the right to cap or merge divisions depending on final registration numbers. Each team may enter one division only, unless otherwise approved by the Tournament Director. During registration, teams indicate whether they are willing to be moved to a higher or lower division if their nominated division is oversubscribed or does not meet the minimum team requirement. If a team has indicated they are willing to move, VACT will directly make the change without further consultation. Teams who select "No — do not move divisions" will only participate if placed in their nominated division.
4. Conduct, Fines and Forfeits
Alcohol consumption is prohibited in the playing venue, and any player deemed under the influence by the Venue Supervisor will not be permitted to play. Duty teams that are late or absent will incur a duty forfeit, a deduction of 4 competition points, and a $150 fine; absence from finals duty carries a $150 fine and may affect eligibility to re-enter the following year at the Tournament Director's discretion.
5. Protests and Disputes
All protests are overseen by the Chief Referee and must be resolved at the time of the match; no protests will be accepted after a match's conclusion. The Tournament Director will only intervene in exceptional circumstances, and decisions on behavioural issues rest with the Chief Referee based on the Venue Supervisor's assessment.
Thank you,
VACT
