SELECTING COMPETITIONS & REGRADING

Please select which competition and division you register for carefully as once competitions have started, there will be no changing of competitions/divisions.

Competition are by birth year, not school year (Apart from Rising Suns). Example if you are 14 within a year you would play U16’s, However if you are 15 but turning 16 later in the year you would play U18’s

The following factors should be considered when selecting a competition:

  • It is suggested that teams consisting largely of players who have not played before, or who have limited playing experience, nominate in the lowest division for an age group (e.g. division 2 for girls competitions and division 3 or 4 for boys competitions).
  • Teams who are experienced, or have WABL level players, should register in the top divisions for their age group (e.g. division 1 for girls and division 1 or 2 for boys competition).
  • The Rising Suns program is a development program for children who are new to the game and who want to learn the rules of basketball and is based on school years 2/3 or 4/5.

Please note that if there are not enough teams for a competition/division to be considered viable by the Association, teams may be placed in another competition/division at the discretion of the Association.

Limited regrading will be done after round 4 of competitions. In general, teams who have won every game by large amounts may be regraded up to a higher division. Teams who have lost every game by large amounts may be regraded down a division. Other factors including teams played and winning/losing margins will also be taken into consideration.

Regrading is at the discretion of the Association and once done, there will be no further regrading for the season unless deemed an extraordinary circumstance by the Association.
