HOW TO REGISTER
Entries OPEN
ENTRY FEE: TBC
Once you have registered your team and the entry fee has been paid, you will then receive a confirmation of your booking via e-mail.
In the event the festival is cancelled the entry fee will be refunded.
TOURNAMENT ITINERARY
Where: Queenstown Events Centre – both John Davis Oval and and its surrounding grounds (grass fields).
Group games may start at 9am on both days. The first kickoff time of the day will be determined by the number of entries across each grade. The start time of the first game will be no earlier than 9am, but maybe 9:30am. We are optimistic that we can guarantee all teams at least 5, but hopefully 6 games over the 2 days.
TOURNAMENT RULES, FIXTURES & FINAL BRIEFING
A full final briefing email will be sent to the Managers of all participating teams 7-10 days before the tournament takes place. The final briefing will include fixtures, schedules and the festival rules.

TROPHIES & AWARDS
The Champion team of each grade will receive a trophy + medals.
A Fair Play Award may also be presented in each grade – details of how this will be decided and the prize for this will be updated soon.
REFEREES
Independent referees will be appointed for all matches. These will mainly be experienced senior players. Please be mindful that all referees will be volunteers and that all games in the tournament must be played in an enjoyable and respectful manner.
FIELDS
Field numbers will be clearly marked and will also be identifiable by each field’s sponsors flags/banners.
CANCELLATIONS
We do not have any planned back-up cancellations dates. So, the event will only be cancelled in the event of extreme weather or if the condition of the grounds create an unsafe field of play. If there is extreme weather forecast, we will endeavour to notify all teams of any cancellations on the day prior to the event. Once the event has started, we will hope to complete all games. However, the safety of the players will be paramount.
