TERMS & CONDITIONS OF PLAY

As part of your Team Registration, you are agreeing you have read and accepted the HPN Summer Competition Terms & Conditions below.
 

General

Team Registration payment must be made prior to the start of the competition. We accept payment by credit card and Active Kids vouchers.
Each participating player must be registered online (minimum of 7 registered players and maximum of 12 registered players per team will be accepted). 

If your team needs to forfeit a match, HPN should be notified before 12pm on the day of the match (but ideally as early as possible) by call or text message to 0425 297 332. Failure to notify HPN regarding your forfeiture or if HPN is notified after 12pm on the day of the match, may result in your team incurring a fine. 

Please respect all umpires and players. Any disrespect or verbal abuse will not be tolerated. If there is any failure to adhere to these rules, the player or spectator will be asked to leave the court or leave the netball court area at the umpire’s discretion. This could result in your team being removed from the competition with no refund. 

You are able to interchange your registered players if you are short on numbers for a match. You may also contact HPN on 0425 297 332 for assistance in finding extra players for you where possible. Please ensure you do this within the timeframe allowed as otherwise you may be required to forfeit the match. HPN will not guarantee finding players for your team. 

Decisions regarding wet weather and cancellations will be made from 3:00pm for the first timeslot then as needed after this time. Weather updates are posted on Facebook and our website.
