Netball Victoria have advised that they have received reports of individuals photographing score sheets, which often contain full names of team members, including children (even in Open or A division levels). Please be advised:

• This practice is not permitted. Score sheets are administrative documents and must be treated as confidential.
• Sharing or photographing score sheets can expose personal information, including that of minors, and may be a breach of privacy laws under legislation such as the Privacy Act 1988.
• Coaches, team managers, team captains or designated officials are the only individuals permitted to view and handle score sheets within a competition. No images of score sheets should be taken or circulated.

We are aware that there are some issues with the ‘Games Played’ report on PlayHQ and have advised them of this.

In the interim, you can download reports via the ‘statistics’ tab, which will provide you with the same data.

A reminder that players who did not take the court do not count towards games played status, and must be removed from the line up when entering results.

Please reach out if any of your players have records that you feel may be incorrect.

As we approach the threshold where players will be sealed to higher grades, please be reminded of the player qualification competition rules:

BFNL

• Once a player takes the court in the 9th game, they are ineligible to play in a lower grade/ division in the same age group.
