Social Sport Frequently Asked Questions

Registration

Q – What if I don’t have a team to play with?

A – You can register as an individual and we will put you into a team with other players.

Q – I would like to play and have a friend, but not enough for a team.  How can I be put together in the same team?

A – You can register as an individual and a question will prompt you asking if you’d like to be put in the same team as someone else.  Select ‘Yes’ and then put in their full name.

Q – We have a team, but some are non-QUT students.  Can we register with the QUT student team rate?

A – Student teams must be made up of 70% or more current QUT students.  If less than 70% it’s at the non-QUT student price.

Q – I’m trying to register, however I don’t know my QUTsportID.  How do I get those details?

A – You should’ve received an email when you originally signed up to RevSport, however, if you can’t find that email please contact us at sports@qut.edu.au

Q – I’ve registered into the wrong league

A – Please email sports@qut.edu.au and we will move you to the correct one. 

Q – I’m the team captain/manager and registered but I’m unable to invite my teammates.  How do I get them to join?

A – You’ll need to login to admin access and manage your invites.  Please see these instructions for more info – Invite team members & team admin
Important - every player must be registered to RevSport or they will not be able to take the field/court.

Q – How long is the season?  

A – Semester one and two seasons run for 10 weeks. This includes 3 rounds of grading, 5 rounds of regular season and 2 rounds of finals. Winter and Summer seasons run for 8 weeks. This includes 6 rounds of regular season and 2 rounds of finals. 

Q – What if my team can’t play before/after a certain time?

A – When signing up, your team must be available to play during the entire time frame allocated for the day you’ve selected. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests for specific time slots as fixtures are scheduled to ensure a smooth competition for all teams.

Q – Can I play multiple sports?

A – Yes of course! Just remember to register for each sport individually. We do recommend selecting sports that are not on the same night as you may be scheduled to play at the same time.

Draws, Games & Teams 

Q – When will the draw be announced? And where can I find it?

A – The draw will be announced at the end of the week prior to the competition and uploaded online. You can find it listed under each sport below.

Football Draw

Touch Draw

Volleyball Draw

Netball Draw

Basketball Draw

Q – Will games be played on Public Holidays and during Semester breaks?

A –  Seasonal breaks are advertised on the homepage, and games are generally not scheduled during these periods or on public holidays. However, this period may be used as an optional rain round if required.

Q – Where am I playing?

Q – I signed up as an individual, when will I know who’s on my team and how do I contact them?

A – You’ll receive an email with your team name shortly before the competition begins. We recommend arriving early on the first day of the competition to meet your teammates and set up a communication channel.

Q – What if I get injured? Am I insured?

A – Yes. At every Social Sport, the on-site coordinator or referee will have a first aid box with medical supplies. QUT Campus security is on-call 24/7 and can provide further assistance when needed. All social sports players, whether students or general public members, are covered by insurance. If an incident occurs, a report will be written up and you will be contacted by the Social Sport Coordinator regarding further support and check-ups. 

Q – What do I need to wear?

A – Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes for physical activity. We recommend wearing support runners/joggers for netball, volleyball and basketball, and cleated boots for touch football and soccer. This is not a requirement but only a recommendation. Teams participating in our Basketball, Football and Touch competitions are encouraged to wear matching playing tops with numbers on the back so that players can be easily identified by the referees. At the very least, each team must choose a team colour and wear that colour each week. It is a good idea for teams to bring a backup shirt that is a different colour in case the opposition team wears the same colour.  If teams are in the same/similar colour the “away” team must wear bibs provided by convenors.

Q - What if my team has enough players but doesn’t have enough males/females for the mixed division? 

A - Your team can still play however can only have the maximum allowed gender identity stipulated in the sport rule set. E.g. Volleyball has a maximum of 4 players and a minimum of 3 players on the court. If no females are available, only 3 males can take the court. 

Q – Can I bring a friend to fill in?

A – Unregistered players will not be permitted to play. If a team fields an unregistered player, they will forfeit their game. Registered players may fill in for other teams if they are short on players so long as they fill out the attendance register and notify the Convenor before the game.

Q – What do I do if my team can’t play?

A –  If your team needs to forfeit a game, your Team Captain/manager must notify sports@qut.edu.au at least 24 hours in advance of a weekday game, or by 1pm on Friday for games held on Sunday. 

Q – What is your refund policy?

Refunds may be considered if a team or individual:

• Withdraws before the first round has been played.
• Experiences extreme circumstances preventing participation.

To request a refund, a formal withdrawal letter must be submitted to sports@qut.edu.au, including a detailed explanation of the situation.

Refunds are not available if a team or individual:

• Withdraws from the season after the first round has been played.
• Withdraws due to injury.
• Withdraws due to changes in personal circumstances, such as relocation.
• Is suspended or removed from the competition for misconduct.

Q – Is there another competition for a higher level? 

A – We offer a range of opportunities to represent QUT at sporting events to high-level competitions. Please read more about the opportunities and where to sign up here.
