It's Finals Time

How many games do I need to play to qualify for finals?
To qualify for the finals a player must have played at least eight fixtured games of the season (this includes grading games). At half time referees are to cross off/untick players that aren’t there. Any players that arrive after half time, should add their name to the scoresheet or on-line scoring system, at the next available time out.
Byes do not count as schedule rounds.

How do I find out how many games I have played?

This information is also available on the web and can be found by completing the following process:

What happens if the number of games I played is incorrect and this affects my eligibility?
Any player who has not been able to play the required number of rounds to qualify for the finals, whether it be through injury or other just cause, may apply to the CBA staff for a clearance to play. This must be submitted 7 days prior to finals.

It is the club/team’s responsibility to ensure all players are qualified for finals. Any team who plays an unqualified player will incur a penalty, as per by-law 20.

Exemptions (final qualification):
Any team who makes finals, and does not have 5 players may apply for a special consideration to have their next qualified player elevated to a qualified status.

This must be approved by the Competitions Administrator prior to the game day. 

Senior Finals:
Any team who makes the finals during a Senior Competition, must ensure their players provide Photo Identification to the Referees, before they are able to participate.

Any player who does not have Photo Identification will not be eligible to play in their allocated match.

Forms of Identification may include but are not limited to:

• License
• Passport
• Key Pass
• Library Card
