LEAGUE COMMUNICATIONS All relevant league information is communicated centrally through to your nominated Association delegate. This information is circulated via email to all nominated Association delegates at regular points through the season. It is very important that as delegate this league information is read in detail and communicated and forwarded onto relevant persons at all times within your Association such as coaches, players and administrators. If at any time during the season you have a question on the information, rules or any other matters please do not hesitate to contact the office via email or phone. We are here to help and assist you. In the event your Association coaches, captains etc have complaints they wish to raise to the league on any matter, please ensure these are channelled through to your delegate and in which the delegate as the central contact person for your Association can then raise and discuss with the league. With the league having over 3000 various player/coach stakeholders, it is important for our efficiencies that all such matters come directly to the league via delegates only. The league if required and at our determination will then contact the relevant coaches/players to discuss further. Please ensure you are open and transparent with your coaches/players etc on the need for them to communicate things to you directly. In the event your phone call is not answered immediately during business hours this will be because staff are in meetings etc. To assist us in servicing your queries efficiently please send the query in an email and we will get back to you as soon as practical. All Association contacts as per our current league records are found on the Big V website.

PLAYER ELIGIBILITY ADMINISTRATION REQUIREMENTS Registration (Refer to Rule 5.2) It is the Association’s responsibility that all players are registered online prior to them playing. • Playing of an unregistered player is an automatic forfeit of that match and fine • Registration of a player does not mean the player is automatically eligible, and the player and Association are responsible for ensuring the player has received approval if required for clearances and/or Basketball Australia approval before being considered eligible (Refer to Rule 5.1.3 and 5.4) Case Example: A player registers to play Big V for Wallan in January 2020 for the upcoming season. They last played Big V in 2015 for Eltham. This player fails to submit a clearance online for approval from Eltham to Wallan. Despite this player being registered they are still ineligible as they were required to have a clearance approval from Eltham to Wallan to be considered eligible. This match would be forfeited and the Association fined. Case Example: A player registers to play Big V for Nunawading and is born in NZ and is not a current Australian Citizen and plays Round 1.
