All players must be members of their respective clubs at a capitation level of silver (social) or higher in the WPA membership terms (for insurance purposes) and in good financial standing prior to participating in the competition.

Each Club shall create socially-focused competitive teams with an objective of balanced skill and roles across the team to encourage fun for all participants.

6

Each Club shall provide a team captain for each team to guide team development and skill, manage communication and support delivery of the competition, with an aim that these team captains will be responsible for ensuring teams abide by the Competition Rules and encourage participation.

Team Captains shall:

7a

be responsible for team development, both in and out of the water, and supporting individual skill development;

7b

be experienced players with captain, coach or other developmental or leadership experience; 

7c

encourage and support individual and team skill development for their team players and other registered players in the comp, as relevant;

Stingers shall provide a Competition Coordinator to oversee conformance with the Competition Rules and ensure smooth delivery of the competition, including:

8a

Managing setup, pack down and care of competition equipment (eg. goals, cones, caps, balls, clock system) to maximise life and usability in line with Club Procedures;

8b

Ensuring sufficiently qualified ref and table support for competition games and equipment use;

8c

Bringing relevant materials for competition coordination (eg. scorecards, pens);

Any decisions by the Competition Coordinator shall not necessarily become future precedents.

9

The Competition Coordinator shall organise trainee, development or qualified refs for all competition games, with an aim of providing at least 1 qualified ref per game. The provision of refs will be a development opportunity for these individuals to improve their reffing skill and qualifications.
