DEFAULTS - Teams MUST submit an online Default Notification form. See form for Default notification timeframes and applicable fees.

CANCELLATIONS - The Satellite Controller is responsible for cancelling/postponing competition games and advising Netball Taranaki. Teams to be advised via the Netball Taranaki website and Facebook page as early as possible.
a) If games are cancelled due to bad weather or court conditions, they may be rescheduled if possible. In the event of deteriorating weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances developing during play, the Satellite Controller shall make any decisions required.

UMPIRES - Each team MUST supply a REGISTERED umpire and scorer for each game. Failure to supply a REGISTERED umpire will result in 1 player being removed from the court to umpire and that team plays a player short for the duration of the game.  This player may not be replaced as an umpire and take the court. Players cannot interchange umpiring and playing.  Failure to follow this rule will result in winning points being forfeited. 

REGISTERED PLAYERS - Players may only register for one team within the same competition (e.g. NPL Women's or STR Mixed). 

Any new players must be registered by 1.00pm each game day to ensure they can be loaded to the system and are available for selection in the game day app.  New Registrations after this on each game day will be deemed unregistered until the following week.

Teams may have unlimited registrations but may only select up to 12 players for each game.

If teams play unregistered players, your game will result in forfeiture of competition points.

GAME DAY TEAM LIST SUBMISSION & SCORING
We will be using Live Scoring via the Netball Taranaki App to submit team lists and to score the games.

Team contacts must submit a final team list of up to 12 players to participate in each game, prior to the start of the game. 
Failure to submit a team list in the app BEFORE your game will result in forfeiture of competition points.
Each team must supply one scorer, who will keep score using the scoring app. These designated persons stand in line with the centre circle together on the side line of the court. The scored must be agreed upon BEFORE submitting. Any discrepancies must be taken to the Satellite Controller on the day. 
Your scorer code can be found at the bottom of the Team Builder box where your players are registered OR you can collect the scorer code at the Tower prior to your first game.
BEFORE submitting the final scoring result, please enter YOUR UMPIRE’S FULL NAME in the comment box.

Failure to supply a scorer means your team must accept the score as presented by the opposing team.  If neither team provides a scorer, no competition points will be awarded to either team.

RULES - Governing of the game and conduct will be those applied by Netball Taranaki and Netball New Zealand.
