Hello Tigers families,

Attached is the fixture for round 3 – note this is round three of grading – final round.
Reminder – ANA will not only be looking at the score of each game but also watching games of interest. They will be looking at game play so make sure all teams are giving 100% during grading. Remember all games count and points are awarded and % carried over into the season.

We expect all Willi Tigers teams to be playing at 100% of their ability during grading.

Please see below another message for all teams/clubs from ANA in relation to replacing players during a match. Good luck for this week. Any issues please reach out to Tara, Miah or myself.

Go Tigers!

Message from ANA after last Saturday’s games

We want to remind all teams that all games need to be taken seriously – with players playing in their ‘normal’ positions.

If we note that this is not the case we will grade the teams where we deem them to be placed going on player lineup and previous history.

After receiving feedback from our officials and umpires all appears to have been quite successful with teams accepting the learner umpires along with more experienced umpires.

A couple of our umpires did come into the office and question the movement of players on some of the games. They know we have not yet implemented the ‘Rolling Subs’ (this will be discussed at the delegates meeting) but a couple of them noted that players were removed from the court as they were “sick or too hot” and needed replacing however none of the player movement had been noted or indicated on any of the scoresheets. Please make sure that you follow all of the procedures as injury or illness needs to be written on the paperwork (even if it is minor) both NV and ASC monitor injury/illness stats (through NC and then via our scoresheets). If a player is being replaced during a quarter we should see two players listed in the same position in the same quarter with the ‘injured/sick’ player details noted for our records.

We do know which games these occurred in today – we hope the clubs will ensure that players are well hydrated starting the day before to ensure that they are well enough to complete a whole match on a warm day.
