Time Limits and Warm-ups:
After feedback from recent events, we provide details to clarify time limits for games and warm-ups. A time limit of 2.75 hours applies to all time-limited games played in WACA and WACA approved events unless advertised otherwise. However, if there are only 2 games per day for each day of the event, then the time limit becomes 3 hours. In either case, the time limit is extended by 5 minutes when play is double banked. When a 5 minute warm-up is given at the start of a game, it should be timed separately and is not included in the time limit for the game.
Tournament Managers
Our thanks go out to all the tournament managers. It is not always an easy job but your efforts are much appreciated. If you are new to the role or want any information on processes and procedures, please feel free to contact the Secretary of the Match Committee. Your feedback is also highly valued…so please send in any recommendations so we can share the good ideas and improvements.
