Hi Everyone, please find attached the R6 Draw field allocations. Apologies for the delay in getting this out, we had a couple of time change requests to finalise.
Forfeits Amendment: Under the current rules the minimum requirement for a team to play is to have 6 of their own players take the field. In addition to the minimum of 6 a team is allowed 2 additional players (from another team the same age or lower) to fill in (wrist band required from the admin table). Due to a large number of forfeits due to covid the committee have decided to relax this rule for all games for the remainder of this season (a decision on whether this applies to Grand Final games will be released soon). Therefore, for the remainder of the season a team can play with 5 of their own players, but there will still only be an allowance for 2 additional fill in players (these players must be registered with another team). This means a team with only 5 of their players can have a maximum of 7 players take the field. A reminder also that if you are playing with less than 8 players on the field the opposition team does not need to match numbers. All players filling in MUST be registered with another team in the same age group or lower to be allowed to take the field.
