Bench Referee Responsibility – we’re right in the thick of cold and flu season, so we know there will be some late withdrawals from assigned referees. When we aren’t able to fill that opening with an appointed referee, the team(s) assigned to scorebench is responsible for filling the referee role. The floor controllers at each venue have electronic whistles and “Bench Referee” vests for people to wear when jumping on court
12-13 July Venues – We have created the draw with the assumption the Rams will have a home semi-final on this date at Cowles Stadium. The NBL is aware that we are not able to avoid clashing with club basketball if they schedule an afternoon game for the Rams on this date. If the Rams do not play at Cowles on Saturday, we will adjust our venues accordingly
13 July Tip times – games are one hour later than normal on this date (due to only having ten games being played)
Teams Scheduled off on 12 July – Rolleston B17; Kaiapoi Yellow B17; SBC Rangers B17; SBC White B17; Spartans Blue B17; Spartans White B17; Christ’s Black B15; Horomaka White B15; Pioneer Blue B15; Rolleston B15; SBC White B15; StAC White B15 have all been scheduled off instead of playing on this date
Head Knock Policy (Procedure) – if a player in your team suffers a suspected concussion, they are to be immediately removed from the game, until cleared by a health practitioner. The ACC Concussion Page lists the clues, signs and symptoms to be aware of that would warrant someone to be removed from the game.
