Hi all,

this letter contains some important news and information so please read.

Finals
Finals are on the 25th November, 26th November and 2nd December and will be run as follows
Quarter finals - 1 v 2 (i), 3 v 4 (ii)
Semi finals - winner (ii) vs loser (i) = (iii)
Grand finals - winner (i) vs winner (iii)
if that doesn't make sense then let me know and I will explain it further. It is no different to how it has been played in previous seasons

Eligibility for Finals
Wednesday an email will be sent to teams to declare who is eligible for finals, who has a chance to be eligible (we still have a few weeks) and who is not eligible. The decision will be made on the basis of the rule of: players on team sheets require 3 games to be played, those not on team sheets are required to play 6 games for that team.
Any issues that teams have with this please email info@nqba.org.au and we will discuss it.

Presentations
The presentation dinner will be held at the Centenary Hotel on French St in Pimlico on Sunday 9th December starting from 6.30pm. There will be a bar tab for soft drink and beer/wine but this will be handled by the committee like last presentations. Meals are available to be purchased as well. All are welcome, there is a jumping pillow for the kids and is a good night for all as it will be the last broomball night until next season.

Awards
Captains are invited to help select best goalie this season. Goalies who are eligible must have played 11 games (half the season plus one game).
Captains are also invited to help select most valuable player and most improved.
A selection sheet will be emailed to team captains shortly.

The committee wishes to remind members that the game clock will start at the scheduled time as long as at least one referee is ready at the centre ice to begin the game; regardless of whether the teams are ready or not.

Club Rules available under committee Rulings tab
It is the captain’s responsibility that their team reads and understands these rules.

It is the official position of the North Queensland Broomball Association that we do not blame any person or club for the misplacement of our club gear. We also do not condone any individual who blames another party or club for this. Any statement made otherwise to this is made on behalf of the individual themselves and is not the position of the NQBA.
