CREATIVE SCHEDULING
On nomination night unfortunately we were not able to make divisions in many of our junior grades. The WBA recognises the importance of divisions to protect our developing players so where we can we have put in place a deliberately unbalanced fixture in these merged competitions.
U10Boy’s - 3 x A and 3 x B nominated in this merged 6 team comp. This will be scheduled as 2 separate 3 team comps in the one grade. Div B teams will only play the Div A Teams when they are on the bye.
U10Girl’s – Only 1 x A team nominated. This team was asked to split evenly into their Div B team to try and make this development grade work better.
U12Boy’s – 8 teams but only 2 Div A teams. So this is basically a Div B comp. Most clubs have moved out their div A players. We don't plan to split for for finals as it is a Div B comp.
U12Girl’s - 3 x A and 4 x B merged competition. Cleverly scheduled so B teams only play A teams a couple times per season. They will split for finals.
U18Boy’s – 3 x A and 5 x B. They will be split for finals. Scheduled so Div A only plays Div B teams play each other on the bye. The Div A games will be played on Mon.
This situation will be reviewed at the 4 weekly review.

We will rember them ❤️
Every winter season we get many players coaches and clubs complaining and questioning us as to why we run a winter season when most associations across the state don't. We battle with that ourselves as it is a lot of work manipulating around merged competitions, other sports and priorities for a short 12 week season. We understand all this and respect those that choose to focus on primarily Winter sports.
Yet with all that said we had a 15% increase in team nominations to the point we couldn't fit teams in.
So I guess if people want to play then we will continue to offer the opportunity.
