The 2025 entry fees are $500 for all grades. Fees are to be paid along with your entry, team roster and umpire forms by 1 July. A late entry fee of $80 will apply for all entries after the above date entry. However, a late entry will not guarantee your team is placed in the tournament.

Again this year, registrations will be done again via Sporty which allows the LOC access to players online and to ensure teams are directly entered into the draw programme.

UMPIRES

You will be aware that a change in procedures introduced last year by the management committee and advised in the first newsletter. All teams will have their named umpire officiate their first two games of the week.

On the second day the umpires will then be allocated across the most appropriate grades. This means it is crucial that teams provide an umpire to perform at the grade being played. We encourage all teams to include in their planning support for their umpires to attend the tournament including accommodation and travel.

As an organising committee we are unable to find umpires for teams as has happened in past years. Teams who are struggling to source an umpire are asked to go to their local netball centre to ask for support. We also recommend asking local Dunedin schools if they have any additional umpires that may be suitable for their grade and available to assist.

Please note

All teams/schools are financially responsible for their named umpire All teams/schools will be charged $800.00 if they do not provide an umpire.

If you require to pay for an umpire provided by SISSNA please fill out the following form: https://www.sporty.co.nz/viewform/360183

If you are unable to supply an umpire for the tournament in Dunedin, please complete this form and an invoice will be generated for $800.

Extra Umpires:

In addition to your own team umpire, if you have other umpires within your school or community capable of umpiring at the same or lower grade, please complete the link below and the LOC will pass on these details to suitable schools: ADDITIONAL SCHOOL UMPIRE

SCORING

This year we will again be using the scoring app instead of score cards. This means all teams will need their scorer code specific to their team.

Prior to your first game, Managers will need to log into TeamBuilder - SISS Netball Registration (SISS Netball Association Inc SCORING) (2025) and click onto their team in the grade they are playing. When they click into the team, then the team details are listed, and the specific team code comes up at the bottom. This can then be shared with those in each team who will be responsible for scoring. The scorers for each team will need to have access to a phone or ipad in order to score on the sideline. Timing will be done for each court using centre scoreboards.

Live scoring results will again be available through the SISS website as the tournament progresses.

The draw will be available once entries close – approximately 2-3 weeks before tournament.
