• Bulk Season Payments (BSP) cover 10 games ($750) for the season. Teams will receive one additional game at no charge in Week 13, prior to the two free registration games.
• To minimise the need for refunds, teams that do not receive a bye, forfeit win, or forfeit loss during the season will be required to pay individual game fees for Weeks 11 and 12.
• Any games not played due to an opponent forfeiting against your team will be credited and rolled over to a future fixture. Please note this is not a full season payment

Grading is a crucial part of ensuring fair and competitive divisions. Over the three week grading period, we assess each team's performance beyond just wins and losses. This allows us to create balanced divisions where all teams can enjoy a competitive and fun season.

We don’t base grading purely on results. Instead, we consider a range of factors, including:

• Strength of schedule – The teams you have played against and their relative strength.
• Scores for and against – Your ability to score and defend in games.
• Comparison of results – How your performance stacks up against other teams in contention for the same division.

A win or loss alone doesn’t determine your division. We look at the competitiveness of your games. For example, a close loss against a strong team or a big win against a weaker opponent might indicate a different grading decision than just looking at the final score.

Each team’s performance is reviewed based on multiple factors, including competitive games, forfeits, byes, and overall balance across divisions. We aim to keep divisions well-structured, avoiding small groups that lead to excessive byes and disruptions before finals.

We understand that teams may have different expectations for their grading. However, our decisions are made with fairness and competition in mind. If you have concerns, you’re welcome to reach out, but please understand that adjustments are only made in exceptional circumstances.
