JUNIOR COMPS MERCY RULE
We are abolishing the mercy rule -
When a team gets 10 points ahead and the losing team players then remove a tag each. This practice is causing injuries and it is not really doing anything to help our game.
We will still have the following mercy rule -
When a team is 5 or more points behind, they will take a tap instead of a kickoff following a try. This will occur no matter which team scores a try and will continue as long as the 5 or more pts gap is maintained in the game.
This is now in play for all our Wollongong Junior comps and also the Shellharbour Junior comps.
Due to the rain and storm activity we’ve had plus the ongoing forecast for more thunder and lightning, we are calling off tonight’s Hollymount Park comp.
Just a reminder to all Junior and Senior Players in regard to uniform, equipment and dangerous items.
* All teams are to wear either a numbered shirt or singlet ( no muscle shirts or singlets with large armholes) Penalties apply from week 4 of all comps.
* Only authorised shorts or tights can be worn ( no League tag shorts, no custom made by non authorised sources) If you are unsure please seek clarification prior to purchasing.
*Shorts must have a waist cord and should be tightened appropriately. Shorts must fit correctly, be kept at waist height and not be too large.
* Runners and plastic studded boots are allowed ( metal studs are not)
* Non dangerous equipment including soft peak hats/caps, headgear, knee and arm protectors made of lightweight padded material are permitted. However any arm protector must first be checked by competition staff.
* Items that are NOT permitted include -plaster/fiberglass/hard plastic arm casts or braces,
- all watches/fit bits and sharp or dangling jewellery,
- long, sharp fingernails, (nails longer than your fingertip should be taped. We do not provide tape for this purpose at the canteen),
- anything else that when someone runs into or is accidentally hit with, that will cause injury.
We thank you in advance.
