Format for Interclub

Once clubs have sent in their main entry and the numbers are known a further call for entries can go out. If at that time there are more entries than spaces or an odd number (no bye allowed) the additional teams will be selected by ballot. Location to be decided at a later date. .

PNZ

Michael reported on PNZ. They are working on a policy from PNZ regarding the different levels of Covid and how this would affect tournaments and how many clubs could be used during a lower level.

PNZ are also looking at the rules surrounding the eligibility of players wishing to enter national competitions.
