See 6. Dispensations2.5 Unregistered Players
Casual unregistered players must pay $5.00. Unregistered players are unable to play finals.
They can only play 3 games before joining the team and paying full sub.
2.6 Draw Requests
Any special requests for the draw (weeks teams cannot play, requested time slots etc) must be
advised in writing upon entry to secretary@esba.org.nz. We will do our best to meet requests
however this may not always be possible.
Note: Once the draw is finalised no changes will be made. So if there are dates your team may not be
able to play it is important that you notify ESBA before competition starts.
2.7 Referee Duty
Each team may be rostered on to referee approximately every second week. Please let us know who
your allocated referee/s will be so that we can include their name in the draw when they are
required. If the named person is unable to referee it is up to them to find a replacement.
Failing to provide a referee when you are rostered to do so will result in the team losing two
competition points.
If a team forfeits their game they are still required to provide a referee if rostered on.
3. Competition Rules & Administration
3.1 League Draw
The draw will be available online via the ESBA website under the Draws, Results & Stats page. Draws
and updates will be emailed to those who provide their address to secretary@esba.org.nz
Please check the website regularly for updates. Posts will also be made to the ESBA Facebook page
when any changes have been made.
3.2 Duties
All teams are required to do duty. Duties for senior grades will be scheduled before or after teams
have played, and secondary school grades will do their duty at the same time as their game is
played and the number of duties will balance fairly by the end of the competition.
Teams are still required to complete their scheduled duty, even if they forfeit their game.
Team should take particular notice of the draw to ensure they do not miss scheduled duties.
Failing to do duty will result in two competition points being deducted from the team’s overall
competition points, and the team may be re-scheduled to make up that allocated duty at a later
date.
3.3 Forfeits
Forfeits in this and all ESBA competitions are strongly frowned upon. It is very disappointing to
turn up to play only to find there is no opposition.
If you have three forfeits in the season your team will be removed from the competition. Upon initial entry please inform ESBA of any dates or times your teams cannot play. If this is not
done then teams will be expected to play all scheduled games.
Teams must notify the secretary on 027 600 ESBA before 10am on day of play
They must also advise the opposition team as well as any duty team affected by their forfeit.
The forfeiting team is responsible for arranging people to cover their scheduled duty for the night.
This also includes any other duty affected by their forfeit.
Catch up games may be played when it is suitable for both teams and ESBA. Catch up games must
be played within two weeks of the original game date.
If a forfeit game occurs then the draw will not be changed (e.g. games swapped on competition
night) to accommodate any teams.
Forfeited games after 10am on the game day will incur a deduction of 2 competition points each.
3.4 Results
The results and ladders will be available online via the ESBA website under the Draws & Results page.
