2023 KWIKSTICKS INTERMEDIATE COMPETITION INFORMATION

2023 Season Dates: Friday 28 April to Friday 25 August 2023

Games played: Friday 2 June (Queens Birthday weekend) & Friday 30 June (last day of term 2)

No games: 7 and 14 July (July school holidays)

Location of games: The majority of games are played at our three turfs at Tauranga Hockey Centre, Mt Maunganui. It depends on team entries as to whether games are also played at Tauranga Boys' College or/and Bethlehem College satellite turfs. The draw clearly states which turf your game is on.

If games are played at BC and TGA Boys please ensure you keep to the times on the draw. Umpires need to manage this. If games get behind time, then warmups need to be shortened so time can be caught up and later games start at the correct time.

Next Committee Meeting: TBC

Team Lists due (& Player Registration): Wednesday 10 May 2023

All players must register in 2023 through PlayHQ. On the team list/player registration due date, all registered players in PlayHQ must be allocated to a team. The team lists will then be downloaded from PlayHQ and will be the official team list of the season. Any adjustments to the team lists after this date must follow the handbook rules.

If there is a protest about a player who is not listed on your team list (therefore classified as being unregistered) this may result in your team forfeiting match points as per the handbook.
