Conduct
Players and spectators are required to adhere to the Australian Rugby Union Code of Conduct for players, team officials and spectators. Teams that do not behave appropriately or who have supporters that behave inappropriately may be excluded from the competition without refund. We particularly look to managers to assist us in this regard.
Forfeits
From time to time we understand that teams may not have sufficient numbers to play. When this occurs, please advise us as soon as possible so we can advise your opponents. Teams that forfeit without giving reasonable notice or forfeit on two occasions may be excluded from the competition without refund.
The rule allow 8 players per team on the field. A minimum of 6 players are necessary to avoid a forfeit. A team that has 6 players MAY use a maximum of two registered players from a younger age group to make up 8 players. A team who is playing players up is not permitted to have reserves.
Referee Abuse
Our referees are mostly young people doing their best to allow you and your children to play. Dural Rugby adopts a zero tolerance towards referee abuse. Under NO circumstance may anyone enter the playing area to argue with or question the referee. Swearing at referees is considered abuse.
Should you have a problem with a referee, please speak with one of the adult supervisors present at the ground.
Serious cases of Referee Abuse may result is suspension of a game or cancellation of player/team registration.
Injuries & First Aid
The First Aid Officer is located in front of the change rooms. Ice is located at the BBQ. In case of a serious injury please contact an adult supervisor, who will provide assistance and call the First Aid Officer. Dural Rugby recommends that all players have private health insurance and wear mouth guards when playing.
Coaches on the Field
The U6s and U7s generally play in a friendly round robin competition with coaches appointed by Dural Walla Tag, if possible, otherwise the team may have a coach of their choosing on the field. No other age groups can have a coach on the field.
Finals Night
These are held on the last night of competition.
All teams competing will play in a grand final night. Competition winners will receive a trophy and runners up will receive a medallion in a presentation after the game.
