See Appendix III: PREMIER SCHOOL TRANSFER 8.7 To avoid doubt, the Premier Event transfer process is not required if a student has been Enrolled at their current school for more than 12 months. 8.8 A student who has enrolled in either Year 11 or Year 12 at a Member School where the earliest year offered for enrolment of that student’s gender is Year 11, but where students of another gender are able to enrol in an earlier year (e.g. Year 9 or Year 10), will only be NTS for one year from the date of enrolment. 8.9 A student will not be eligible to play in any Premier Competition finals or playoffs unless he or she has played at least 50% of the regular season for their current school in any grade of that competition. 8.10 A Member School’s second team is not permitted to enter a Premier Event without the prior approval of the ESD. This approval will normally be granted only where a second team is required to make a viable competition and the top teams from the next grade down are not willing to play in the Premier Event. 8.11 The ESD may grant a dispensation from the restrictions in Bylaw 8, if he or she considers that exceptional circumstances warrant such a dispensation.

9. PREMIER REGISTRATIONS 9.1 Any team who wishes to compete in a WSSS Premier Event must be made up of students who are registered in accordance with the requirements of this Bylaw 9. Complete team lists must be submitted by the due date and in such format as required by WSSS. 9.2 A Member School may in such a format as required by WSSS at least 48 hours prior to the student competing in any match in the Premier Event of that event unless approved by WSSS: (a) register additional students for its Premier Event squad for any Sanctioned Event in respect of which registration is required to maximum number prescribed; (b) correct or update details of any student registered in its Premier Event squad for any Sanctioned Event; (c) de-register students who are not considered NTS from its Premier Event squad, 9.3 A student who is NTS may be de-registered only: (a) if he or she is seriously injured (with support of a medical certificate) such that he or she was unavailable for more than three matches in the relevant WSSS event; or (b) if he or she has left that school. 9.4 If a team has reached their NTS quota, a NTS student who is deregistered under Bylaw 9.3 (a) and replaced by another NTS student then reregistered may only replace the student who covered for them. 9.5 The ESD may grant a dispensation from the restrictions in Bylaw 6, if he or she considers that exceptional circumstances warrant such a dispensation.

(iv) Composite teams made up entirely of home-schooled students, i.e. not part of a member school team, will not be permitted in WSSSA sanctioned events. 11.4 Any such exemption shall apply to WSSS sanctioned activity only.

12. CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL STUDENTS 12.1 The correspondence school is affiliated to NZSSSC and as such this establishes a partnership with WSSS, thus Correspondence school students will accordingly be accepted as individuals in district or regional championship events and may form a Correspondence School team for team events. 12.2 Should Correspondence school students participate as part of another school team, then this will constitute a composite team. By Law 7 will then apply

13. REFUGEE STUDENT ELIGIBILITY 13.1 A student who has refugee status if enrolled in a Member School for their first enrolment in New Zealand will not be classified as NTS. 13.2 If a student consequently enrols at a 2nd Member school within a year of initial enrolment then they will only be NTS for one year from the date of Enrolment.

14. PRIMARY CAREGIVER RELOCATON EXEMPTION [PCRE] 14.1 A PCRE exemption from the quota is available on application to WSSS for consideration through the ESD. Such exemptions need only be sought if the inclusion of a specific student(s) results in a school’s Premier team exceeding the stipulated “NTS” quota for a code. 14.2 The application, is to be initiated by the student’s new school, must be on the official WSSS PCRE - See Appendix V: PRIMARY CAREGIVER RELOCATION EXEMPTION 14.3 No Teams that have a quota limit may have more than two PCRE’s. 14.4 Any student who has applied for a PCRE is ineligible to play for a team at their new school until their school has been notified of the outcome of the application. 14.5 Any appeal of WSSS determination of any application must be lodged in writing with the ESD of WSSS within 7 days of any WSSS decision being received by the student’s new school 14.6 If a student is proven to have been ineligible to participate in any WSSS sanctioned activity which is part of any Island or National qualification or elimination, then WSSS shall have the right to revoke that school’s qualification and advise the appropriate organising body.

19 15. THE QUOTA [NTS] 15.1 The documented number of “NTS” students permitted in any first team participating in a WSSS or NZSSSC sanctioned sport is over a two-year period. 15.2 The squad size listed is based on that which teams can generally register for a NZSSSC sanctioned event. See - Appendix IV: NEW TO SCHOOL QUOTA 15.3 Any breach related to exceeding the quota numbers may result in WSSS imposing sanctions on the player, team, coach or school. This may include loss of all or a portion of competition points, player or coach suspension, exclusion from the competition or any other sanction the judicial committee deems appropriate.

16. COMPETITION DATES 16.1 All WSSS Competitions will have a specified start date and finish date. In the interests of student health and welfare. Member Schools should not actively prepare outside those dates. NB: It is an expectation of WSSS that preparation outside Winter or Summer window should not impact of any student’s ability to represent their school in chosen summer and winter codes 16.2 No WSSS Event can be held on a Sunday or Public Holiday, without the specific approval of WSSS. 16.3 WSSS events should, to the extent possible, not encroach on school time. At district or regional level, no one sport should seek more than two school days for WSSS approved district or regional events. 16.4 Summer and Winter season start and end dates will be confirmed by 1 October of the preceding year competition. In general, the seasons will be (a) Summer Season: Term 1 and Term 4 (From week 1 in term 1 until the end of March and from week 2 in September until the last school week in December) (b) Winter Season: Term 2 and 3 (from week 1 in term 2 until the end of the first week in September) 16.5 When exceptional circumstances arise, WSSS may grant a variation to any of the start or competition dates prescribed. 16.6 Where possible any WSSS events should be scheduled in alignment with Island or NZSSSC events.

18. COMPETITION STRUCTURE: GRADING, PROMOTION AND RELEGATION 18.1 WSSS considers grading matches as the most appropriate means to determine the composition of Premier (and other) grades each year. Unless prescribed otherwise by any WSSS sanctioned code convention, the protocols will be: (a) Pools for grading matches at the start of a season shall be formulated based on rankings at the end of the previous season; (b) If, through whatever circumstance, the number of teams required to fill any Premier grade quota are not met, WSSS reserves the right to invite teams to fill any vacancies; (c) Any team who for whatever reason in their grading matches defaults a game shall after grading be automatically relegated to the lowest grade of those they are contesting and all grading games involving that team shall become null and void and recorded as a ‘no result’ and no points awarded; (d) If any team, who through their ranking qualifies for any promotion-relegation playoff then does not wish to exercise that option; then there shall be no offer to another team to replace them in those playoffs unless one of the teams originally offered promotion is the 2nd team of a school who are ineligible to play in any Premier grade. In this eventuality, the next ranked team may at WSSS discretion be offered the position; (e) WSSS reserves the right, in consultation with schools, to consider any application for a variation to these protocols. 20 19. DIFFERENTIATION OF TIED TEAMS 19.1 The process for differentiating two teams tied on round robin competition points shall be as follows unless prescribed otherwise by any specific code convention: (a) The team who won the most recent competition match between those two teams shall be afforded the higher rank; (b) If that match was cancelled, drawn or no result is entered within the required period, then the team with the better point’s differential [match points or goals or sets scored for v match points or goals or sets scored against] in all rounds of that grade’s competition shall be afforded the higher ranking; (c) If any tied team has during the round robin competition defaults a game; they will automatically be disqualified from the differentiation process and given the lowest ranking. 19.2 The process for differentiating more than two teams tied on round robin points shall be: (a) The team with the best win/loss ratio in matches between the tied teams shall be afforded the higher ranking; (b) If more than two teams are still tied, then the team with the better point’s differential in all competition matches between those tied teams in the most recent round shall be afforded the higher ranking; (c) If any tied team has during the round robin competition defaulted a game; they will automatically be disqualified from the differentiation process and given the lowest ranking. 19.3 In the case of Semi-Finals and Finals not scheduled at neutral venues [as prescribed by that code], pending the provision of appropriate facilities, the higher seeded team shall be afforded the home venue.

20. DEFAULTS, RESCHEDULING AND DEFERRALS 20.1 WSSS will maintain a defaults & rescheduling policy 20.2 Any competition match may only be deferred if all of 20.2 (a) – (e) inclusive are agreed and in the listed order. (a) The request is made through WSSS at least 2 weeks prior to the originally scheduled fixture; (b) WSSS approves the reasoning for such a request being asked of another school; (c) There is mutual agreement between the two schools; (d) The rescheduled game is to be played within one week of the originally scheduled match or at a date set by WSSS. If for whatever reason the ‘deferred’ match is not played on or by such, then neither team will be awarded any competition points; (e) The school requesting the deferral must advise WSSS no later than 48 hours before the match of all changes including the revised match date, time, venue and the name of any officials involved. 20.3 If approval is not granted by WSSS or there is no mutual agreement on a rescheduled date/time/ venue, then the school seeking to reschedule the fixture can either play as per the original draw or default the fixture. 20.4 If any two or more students from a team are required to play in the same code in a representative event on the day of scheduled fixture (this excludes trials/trainings and the like) that clashes with any WSSS fixture, then a deferral can be sought through WSSS. Any such deferred matches must then be played within one week of the originally scheduled date or if there are other circumstances, at WSSS’s direction. 20.5 Schools’ who have vacations outside of the gazetted school holidays should advise WSSS of such no later than the 1st February in that year. In such cases, WSSS will then endeavour to accommodate but this may not be practical. While we urge schools to be accepting of deferral requests in such circumstances, ultimately 20.2 & 20.3 apply. 20.6 Unless there are mitigating circumstances, Semi-Final and Final matches shall not be deferred. WSSS shall be the sole judge on this matter if there is extenuating circumstances. 20.7 If a team defaults three times during a WSSS Event in one season, they may be removed from the competition in that year. 20.8 Where any team defaults in a WSSS Premier Event they may not be permitted to enter the Premier Event in the following year. 20.9 Procedures for any school wishing to default a match include making every endeavor to contact the opposing school teacher- in -charge TIC and or SC or DoS and WSSS and if necessary the venue controller, by telephone, email or SMS, no later than 1pm on the day of the default. If emailing ask for a confirmation receipt. Do not leave messages on voicemail as they may not be cleared. Failure to complete

21 the procedure may result in consequential action against the team or school. 20.10 Procedures for any school if defaulted against if you receive late notification (later than 1pm) or no notification of default, advise WSSS office by email within 24 hours. 20.11 Consequences for schools or teams if late or no notification is received from a school, WSSS may impose a penalty fee of $20. The defaulting school may be liable for any travel expenses incurred by the opposition school. 20.12 Unless any code prescribes another convention, then any team defaulted to shall receive the maximum number of competition points any other team in that grade/division received in that round.

21. CANCELLATIONS 21.1 Where, through weather or other intervention prior to the commencement, WSSS determines to cancel games; to maintain some grade equity, WSSS will generally cancel all of a grade and endeavour to re-schedule such games within the competition window available. 21.2 In the circumstance where a game(s) within a grade is cancelled and others played, unless stated otherwise the protocols shall be that the competition points for any cancelled games (less any bonus points) are shared between the two teams. 21.3 Every endeavour will be made to have all round-robin games completed before any Semi-Finals or finals, however, if after cancellations, there are insufficient playing days to play Semi-Finals or complete round-robin play, then the top two ranked teams at the end date of the last completed round shall contest the Final. 21.4 In the case of any grading match (formulation of a grade), quarter/semi-final match or other match deemed by WSSS to be of significance and not provided for above, then WSSS shall determine any process and reserves the right in consultation with schools, to vary any of these conditions.

22. ABANDONED MATCHES 22.1 Unless a code has its own convention; if for whatever reason a game once started is abandoned or called off, the following protocols will be applied: (a) If a game is abandoned or called off before the second half of a match starts, the competition points will be shared between the two teams; (b) If a game is abandoned or called off after the second half has started, then the score at the time of the abandonment shall stand and competition points be awarded accordingly. 22.2 The above shall be applied unless there is mutual agreement between the management of each team at the time of the abandonment/calling off, to reschedule the match within seven days, at a date, time and venue determined and agreed by the teams. This shall exclude any semi-final where (a) and (b) above will be applied. 22.3 All of the above may be annulled by any formal Judicial Process and resultant sanctioning or any other WSSS determination

23. SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS 23.1 The Principal of a Member School or a school official or coach authorised by the Principal must be present whenever that school is participating in a WSSS event. Where the event concerned is a match between two teams the Principal, school official or coach must identify him or herself to the referee and to the representative of the other Member School prior to the match. Failure to provide supervision may result in the team forfeiting the match. 23.2 If a male coach is assigned to a girls’ team or female coach to a boys’ team, an adult (non-high school student) of the opposite gender should normally be present at any WSSS Event involving that team. Member Schools should address this issue through their own policy relating to students involved in co- curricular activity. 23.3 Where a student is ejected from any WSSS event that student must immediately be placed under the direct supervision of a school official.

24. COMMITMENT TO WAIKATO SECONDARY SCHOOL SPORT COMPETITIONS 24.1 Member Schools have an obligation to participate fully in WSSS Events which they have entered. The scheduling of any other commitments must be done in a manner which allows that obligation to be met

RESULTS 26.1 Participating Member Schools are responsible for entering and/or checking all results. 26.2 To ensure that accurate tables are available and subsequent draws promulgated, all event results should be entered no later than 1.00pm on the day following play, apart from Friday night or weekend sport when all results must be entered no later than 1.00pm on the Monday immediately following play. 26.3 Where an incorrect result has been entered for a match played corrections to results must be submitted in writing to WSSS of the incorrect result being entered within 4 days. WSSS will consult with both schools to confirm the correct 26.4 If results are not entered within a week of any fixture being played, then the score may be recorded as a ’No Result’ and no competition points will be awarded to either team for that fixture 26.5 Where the result of any fixture is in dispute between two members, the ESD will attempt to mediate the dispute to achieve an acceptable resolution. If this is not possible the ESD Office will adopt an arbitration role making a decision that takes into account the views of both parties.

27. GENDER 27.1 Unless by gender exception specified by any WSSS sport or NSO protocol; all WSSS events shall be gender specific. 27.2 Schools may, on behalf of an individual, make a written submission with supporting evidence requesting a variation to Rule 27.1. This may for example be on behalf of an elite level athlete or a transgender student. 27.3 All cases will be considered by WSSS and any other appropriate parties on their individual merit which shall include the health and safety of all participants, unfair advantage - perceived or otherwise, and any policy advice from an NSO, NZSSSC or any other agency.

28. UNIFORM 28.1 All schools must provide an update each year in their annual return to WSSS, a registry of their school’s sport uniform colours. Any variation or change of colours being considered should first be signalled to WSSS to ensure there is no clash with another member school. 28.2 All members of teams participating in a WSSS events must wear matching uniforms of their school appropriate to the sport.

29. SPONSORSHIP 29.1 Sponsorship arrangements to support and develop sport for Member Schools are the property and responsibility of the school and should be signed off by the Principal. WSSS respects this but requests the following guidelines should be met when branding up such property. 29.2 School sports uniforms may display the official manufacturer’s logo, the official school crest and team name/level or emblem, number(s) and any sponsor’s logo as outlined in Rule 25.4. 29.3 The size of any sponsor’s advertising or logo, while needing to be ‘visual’, should not become excessively dominant on the playing strip and should not interfere or impose on any uniform numbering required by the rules or requirements of any code. 29.4 Schools should discourage sponsorship or association with companies, retailers or outlets associated with products or services, which could be considered objectionable or inappropriate. 29.5 WSSS reserves the right to request a change to any Member School uniform if the sponsorship or

23 proposed sponsorship is unsuited to the secondary school environment or is in any other way deemed inappropriate.

30. OFFICIALS 30.1 WSSS will endeavour to have suitably qualified officials appointed to at least the top divisions of any code. 30.2 Except where any code has a different officiating convention specified in its playing conditions, at any level where there are no officials appointed, unless there is mutual agreement to the contrary between the captains of each team prior to the commencement of any match, then each team is required to provide a match official; the ‘home’ team - that team playing at its own venue - shall provide the necessary official for the first half, the visiting team for the second half of the match. 30.3 In the case of codes that require two match officials (e.g. Basketball, Netball), unless there is mutual agreement to the contrary between the captains of each team prior to the commencement of any match, each team is required to provide a match official for the entire game. 30.4 Where the match is played at a ‘neutral’ venue - that is a venue that is not the ‘home’ of either team - then the first named team on the official WSSS draw shall be considered the ‘home’ team. 30.5 If in any instance where any team cannot or declines to provide the required official(s), then the opposing team may apply to WSSS to claim the match by default

That support be may one or more of financial, administrative, consultative, and facilitate appropriate judging panels. 31.9 WSSS recognizes that North Island and National events generally operate at a higher level than its regional activities and believes that the award of medals is appropriate at this level and not appropriate at regional level

32. INDUCEMENT TO TRANSFER SCHOOLS FOR SPORTING REASONS (POACHING) 32.1 WSSS does not condone any inducement of students to transfer from one school to another 32.2 No employee or other person associated with coaching or managing sport in a partner school shall initiate any communication, written or verbal, or any inducements other than those which are publicly available by application to all students, with a prospective student, parents of a student, guardian or family member, in person or through a third party, while that student is enrolled in another partner school. 32.3 If it is established that an employee or other person associated with coaching or managing sport in a partner school knew or ought to have known that a person associated with their school suggested to, or used undue influence on a student to transfer schools for sporting reasons, it may cause the student or any first team in which they play to be ineligible upon transfer and could further result in the management

24 committee imposing sanctions on that school or an individual associated with the school. 32.4 Any such allegation should be referred in writing with substantiated evidence of the allegation to the WSSS ESD, who shall then, if appropriate, refer to the WSSSA chairperson for determination. Any such determination which is upheld may lead to the transgressing school incurring cost and sanctions as deemed by the WSSSA and notified to NZSSSC who may support and impose such sanctioning deemed appropriate

33. HEALTH AND SAFETY 33.1 This is everybody’s responsibility and is informed by various legislation, regulations and guidelines. It is a requirement of each school to put in place responsible measures to ensure the safety and welfare of their students both at event venues and in transit to and from such venues. 33.2 WSSS may additionally at the commencement of each year require from each member school through a Principal sign off; a declaration that their courts (indoor and outdoor), playing fields and any other space, they provide for WSSS related sporting activity is ‘fit for purpose’ and meets the minimum standards WSSS requires to host events. See - Appendix VI: HOSTING REQUIREMENTS for WSSS EVENTS

34. COMPLAINTS 34.1 Match Official - any report from a match official against a player, team management or spectator involved in a WSSS sanctioned event must within 72 hours of the completion of that event, lodge their written report with their RSO and WSSS who will then deal with it in accordance with any RSO process or at the RSO request, by a WSSS process. 34.2 Other Person - any complaint from any other person relating to a WSSS sanctioned event must within 72 hours of the completion of that event lodge their written report with corroborating evidence initially to their school’s Head of Sport. Then within this period, the Head of Sport should choose what action to take which may include dealing with it themselves or add their endorsement and forward it to WSSS for resolution. 34.3 Any complaint relating to any alleged breach of the WSSS ByLaws or any other matter under the jurisdiction of WSSS, must within 72 hours of the alleged breach be lodged in writing with corroborating evidence initially to their school’s Head of Sport. Then within this period, the Head of Sport should choose what action to take which may include dealing with it themselves or add their endorsement and forward it to WSSS for resolution. 34.4 Any complaint that is not lodged through the Head of Sport nor has the endorsement of the complainant school’s Head of Sport or Principal will be dismissed. 34.5 It is the responsibility of each school’s Head of Sport to ensure their Principal is aware of any formal complaint and the nature of it. 34.6 WSSS will consider all such complaints and depending on the nature of them shall either: (a) deal with the complaint itself in consultation with the principal(s) and parties of the school(s) concerned; (b) refer it to the WSSS Complaints Review Committee; (c) refer it to the RSO; (d) in the absence of any established RSO process or a request by the RSO that WSSS deal with a complaint, then the WSSS ESD may choose to deal with it themselves in consultation with the Principal(s) of the school(s) involved or refer it to a WSSS CRC for their consideration and determination. 34.7 Whichever, the following guidelines will be observed but with licence to go beyond if deemed appropriate/necessary: (a) WSSS will gather any additional evidence deemed appropriate to the complaint; (b) the principal of the school or body against whom the complaint has been made will be notified in writing of the details of the complaint including the school, organisation or person bringing the complaint and the details of evidence provided; (c) the principal receiving notice of the complaint will be asked to provide a written response to the WSSS ESD within 72 hours of the complaint being transmitted; (d) the ESD will then and where necessary in consultation with the WSSS Chair, determine how the complaint is to be processed and advise the involved parties accordingly; (e) The CRC and Hearing process proceeds as outlined in Appendix VII: COMPLAINTS REVIEW & APPEAL PROCESS

See Appendix VII: COMPLAINTS REVIEW & APPEAL PROCESS

36. CIVIL DEFENCE, EMERGENCY AND INDUSTRIAL ACTION 36.1 WSSS recognizes that from time to time Civil Defence, Emergency or Industrial action may be considered by some schools as a legitimate reason for withdrawing/requesting deferrals of teams from competitions and events at affected times. In all such cases, the ESD will make an assessment as to whether the event can viably and safely proceed with an expected reduction in the number of participants and/or the expected absence of school based officials/personnel. Normal WSSS policy procedures will apply to events which conflict with such action. 36.2 For Industrial action which would be considered to be a ‘forseeable’ reason, and WSSS should be advised in advance so that teams will not be included in draws, resulting in defaults to schools which wish to play as scheduled, and facilities not booked nor charged for unnecessarily. 36.3 In normal weekly competitions, teams which do not provide such advice will be considered to be in breach of Rules 36.4 WSSS will, to the best of its ability, ensure that school teams that are withdrawn from competitions for reasons outlined in 36.1, and which wish to subsequently re-enter those competitions, are not disadvantaged

The application, initiated by the students new school, must be on the official PCRE (Appendix V) form ; providing formal evidence of the address change as outlined on the application form, and be completed and signed by: a. the student b. the principals of the student’s Exit and New School c. the student’s parent or authorised primary caregiver d. have the attached evidence as prescribed in note 6 below on address change

For an exemption from the NTS quota, a Primary Caregiver Relocation Exemption (PCRE) need only be sought if the inclusion of specific student then results in a schools’ first [Premier] team exceeding the stipulated quota for that sport.

The process for determining exemption is outlined below: 1. Exemption for a student should only be sought if a school finds it has exceeded the quota of new to school/non-resident students as specified in the Rule 14 of the WSSSA By Laws and has a student/s eligible for PCRE under all other eligibility rules. One exemption will cover all sports for that student. 2. Applications will only be accepted on the Primary Caregiver Relocation ‘Application for Exemption’ form available from WSSSA, its Member schools or downloaded from the WSSSA website or School Sport NZ website 3. Applications should be received by WSSSA at least 2 weeks prior to the first occasion that student seeks to represent their ‘new’ school. 4. Any student seeking an exemption is ineligible to represent their ‘new’ school until any WSSSA Execu- tive approval is received as per WSSSA Bylaws clause 14.4 5. Applications will be considered by the Executive Director of WSSSA and 2 other representatives of the WSSSA Executive. 6. Applications must include evidence of the relocation as specified below.

32 Importing Student Data from KAMAR (Automatically)

If your schools uses KAMAR you have the option to automatically import student data into EnterNOW.

1. In EnterNOW In EnterNOW go to the Settings tab, then click on [Create API Key]. On the next screen type in Kamar as the Key Description, then click on [ Save Changes]. You will now be back on the Settings tab, and down the bottom will be your new API Key. Select and copy the Kamar API Key.

2. In KAMAR Note: you may need your kamar administrator to do this. Main Menu > Setup > KAMAR > Server > Directory Services > Services Create a ‘ New Service’ and select the ‘Create’ option, then will need the following settings. Address: kamar.enternow.co.nz Use SSL: YES Authentication: Use the API Key you created in EnterNOW above Data Format: XML

Click on the [Check and Enable] button to verify your connection is working. After a few seconds, KAMAR will report the result of your connection. If successful, you can then press the [ Send Full Update] button to complete your first full sync of all students to the EnterNOW service. Note: The update process is run on the server and may take a while to complete before you see anything happening.

33 Student Photos If you need student photos to be transferred, under the selected directory service, select the ‘Student Photos’ option. The first time a full sync runs, all students photo’s will be uploaded to the remote service. The ‘Date Modified’ will then be populated with the current date and time. Subsequent uploads will only send new / updated student photo’s. If you want to send all student photo’s again - clear the date modified field and run a full sync again.

WHAT DATA IS SYNCHRONISED? We only synchronise the data that is used by most organisers for school events.

• Student ID • Date of Birth • Residency Status • First Name • Year Level • Ethnicity • Last Name • Previous School Name • Photograph (optional)

• Gender • Date of Enrolment

WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE DATA School sports coordinators • Each school gets issued a login and password which gives you access to the EnterNOW websites. • If you choose to share that password with others, they will also have access to your schools data. • It is your responsibility to keep your password safe. Event Organisers • Can only see the data that you have included in the entry form. (This is no different to what they receive with a paper entryform) • Have the ability to use the auto-complete functionality to enter students on your behalf (for late entries or special cases). • DO NOT have the ability to download or view your full your student list (the Members tab in EnterNOW) EnterNOW • EnterNOW Ltd and its staff will have access to your data for the sole purpose of providing support and resolving problems with the system.

34 WHAT PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN TO KEEP THE DATA SECURE? • SSL Secure certificate is used on the website (encrypts data between end user and server) • SSH public key access is used to authenticate to the server and transfer files. (only 2 people have access to the key) • Our website server has a firewall in place. • Software/Security patches are applied at regular intervals • Regular backups are taken of all data, and stored on a secondary server which is not publicly accessible, also protected by firewall. • All our development machines have encrypted hard drives, with password access (in the case of loss or theft, they will be inaccessible) • Development machines all run current antivirus/malware detection software. • Development machines are backed up on regular intervals and backups are encrypted.

HOW LONG DO YOU KEEP THE DATA • Student records are erased once they turn 19, as the system assumes they have left the school • If a student leaves school before they turn 19 and the student management system offers that data, then we will erase the students record • If a student record is not accessed for a period of 24 months, the record will be erased • Entries that are made into events, and the associated information are retained indefinitely.

35 SPORTS RUNNER

WHAT IS SPORTSRUNNER? SportsRunner is a competition management software system, to facilitate the administration of draws and results for team sports. It consists of two main components: • A richly featured management app, provided as cloud-based “software as a service”, for the use of the competition administrator in managing all aspects of the draws and results, for league and tournament competitions. • A website, for the publication of full draws & results information, for the purpose of informing players and supporters. It is a well established and highly reputed system, operating successfully since 1997, and serving the needs of many New Zealand sports organisations across many sports codes.

WAIKATO SECONDARY SCHOOLS SPORT Waikato Secondary Schools Sport is increasingly using the SportsRunner system. This applies to team sport competitions that are run directly by WSSSA, as well as supporting events run by affiliated sports organisations. We see that this can provide many benefits to secondary school sport in the Waikato.

SCHOOLSYNCH Another service provided within the SportsRunner system is the ability to maintain a database of schools. All RSD offices in New Zealand do this. This serves the needs not only of WSSSA, but also for the purposes of School Sport NZ. Part of this process is a website, where schools can log in and update their school and personnel contact information. The updated data from this website is then imported into the SportsRunner database. Waikato Secondary Schools Sport periodically asks schools to complete this process online.

ONLINE ENTRIES Waikato Secondary Schools Sport also subscribes to the EnterNOW online entries service, to process entries and registrations for events. In the case of team sport competitions and tournaments, the entries are integrated into SportsRunner.

CONTACT Further information about SportsRunner can be obtained from the website at https://sportsrunner.nz/ or by emailing [email protected].
