WEST BELCONNEN

JUNIOR OZTAG
2008 SUMMER COMPETITION

Belconnen’s Only Junior Oztag Competition

Hi, and Welcome to season 2008 for Junior Oztag

West Belconnen Junior OZTAG is back for another year, Ray Ballantyne and West Belconnen
Leagues Club is continuing the running of Junior Oztag in the Belconnen Region.

We realise the importance of junior participation for the future of the sport to continue and the benefits
it has for the fitness and enjoyment of your children.

The competition will consist of a straight 10 round competition for Mini’s (8’s & 10’s) and an 8 round
competition followed by 2 weeks being a Semi Final & a Grand Final for Juniors (12’s, 14’s & 16’s).

The Mini’s will games will consist of 2 x 13min halves with 4 minute half time

Whilst the Juniors will play for 2 x 20 min halves, with a 5 minute halftime.

It is my intention to make the competition as fair and enjoyable for all involved as I can.

This Competition is open to both boys & girls with the view of all teams being mixed. I do envisage that
in the future we may be able to run separate boys and girls’ competitions; however this is solely reliant
on numbers.

Any enquiries can be directed to the WBJ Oztag office in business hours:

The Oztag competition is organised and run by The Australian Oztag Sports Association Inc (“Oztag”). Oztag offers to provide access to the competition to
Players on provision by Players of the registration fee and agreement to these Conditions of Play.

As a Player, I agree and understand: Subject to these Conditions,

1. I play at my own risk. If I have not signed the registration form, I will not be covered by any insurance and I play completely at my own risk.

3. I will wear shoes suitable to playing the sport whilst playing - I will not play in bare feet.
4. I will not wear jewellery (which includes men’s watches) while playing.
5. I will not talk to the referee unless I am the captain of a team.
6. I will not sledge either the opposition or my own team members. This is a major offence and will result in me being sent off.
7. I must comply with the referee’s directions and decisions.
8. I must play in official Oztag shorts...
9. Any injury I sustain must be reported on the night of the injury. Claims may be rejected if the injury is not reported on the night.

Injury Insurance & Liability

1. Oztag has arranged injury insurance cover (“Player Insurance”) for Players through Sports cover (Australia) Pty Limited ACN 006 637 903 under
authority from American Re-insurance Company ARBN 000 857 698. Policy terms are available to all Players and will be provided on reasonable
notice to Oztag. A summary of the Player Insurance cover is set out below.

injuries and broken bones but may include any form of injury, including in rare cases, death.
3. Players who desire more comprehensive or other insurance cover must obtain this cover prior to playing. It is up to each Player to determine
whether they require further cover in addition to the Player Insurance before they play.

As a Player, I warrant that:

1. I am in a fit state of health to play.
2. I will not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs that may adversely affect me while playing.
3. I have no pre-existing medical or other conditions which might cause me injury or be aggravated by playing.
