Q. How old does my child have to be to play?

A. 

The age groups are 8-9 years old, 10-11 years old, 12-13 years old and 14-16 years old. So the youngest player should be 8 years old. Also note they must play in the age bracket they are turning this year. ie. 8, 9 this year to play in the 8-9s, 12 or 13 to play in the 12-13s etc. You can form a team in the 8-9s age group consiting of any mix of 8 or 9 year olds. Any person found to be playing over aged, their team will forfeit all points for the season.

Q. What are your refund policies?

A. 

Our refund policy states that a refund may only be applied 3 weeks from competition start date. Refund may not be in full if your playing shirt has been printed ($40). You will of course still be able to collect your playing shirt.

Q. What are the rules?

A. 

The rules are very similar to Rugby League but with the tackles being replaced with touches.

The aim of touch football is to score tries by not getting touched by the opposition's team within 6 attempts, and placing the ball down in the try zone to accumulate points. The team finishing with the higher point score is determined the winner.

Each team can have up to 12 players (we recommend 10), with a maximum of six on the field at any time. Each team has unlimited substitutions. The game lasts 45 minutes, divided into two - 20 minutes halves and a five minute half-time break.

Q. How are points allocated for wins etc?

A. 

• 3 points for a win

• 1 for a loss

• 2 for a draw

• 3 for a bye

• 3 for a forfeit win

• -1 for a forfeit loss

• 5-0 score for a forfeit win

• A forfeit is constituted by a team not having with 4 players or more by the time the hooter starts the game. For mixed this is a maximum of 3 men and 1 woman or 4 women. The game can still be played if both teams agree, but the later team will still have a -1 recorded on the table and a 5-0 score against them.

Q. What happens if the game is a draw?

A. 

In a normal round, 2 points is allocated to each team. However in the finals, drop offs for both semi-finals and grand-finals will occur. Kick-off starts with 5 vs 5 for the first minute following full time. Both teams must have had 1 attacking opportunity. Meaning if a try is scored in the first set of 6, the opposition is allowed to have a set of 6 to reply. Then, every minute there-after, the hooter will sound to drop one player off from each team. The game will pause and the touch recorded while each team removes a player. Play will then continue from where it was paused. Players are dropped off each minute until there is 3 vs 3 players. At this point the game continues until a try is scored.
