*Please note, if your team is highlighted in a specific colour this is because you are spread across multiple courts throughout the day so please make sure you check each court.
Times
Due to large numbers we have had to extend our game times to start a little earlier. Please arrive at the Venue by 9:00am, upon arrival please check in with the VSA Staff as you will then be given a designated are for your school in our “Break Away” area. Please familiarise yourself with the venue and follow the COVID Safe Map attached to this email so that you are where you need to be so that games can run smoothly and are on time. The technical meeting will be then be held at 9:10am sharp (1 School Representative needs to be present at the technical meeting, students are to remain in designated school area) where the rules and regulations will be outlined along with any other relevant information so that games can commence by 9:30am and finish by 2:30pm as per the draw.
Games will go for a total of 14minutes (14 minute game, change of ends at 7 minute mark).
General

Again please be mindful of court space and restrictions outlined above. Please also be respectful of staff and the venue, no food or drink is to enter the playing area, please also ensure that they is to be no loitering in the main foyer when students are not playing. If you have participated in this event before, you will know that Marion can be quite squishy, so with the help of all teachers we are hoping that the day can still run as smooth as possible.
