How many divisions are there in each competition?
During semester, competitions will comprise three or four separate divisions (Division 1 being the highest). Teams are given a provisional grading at the
start of the season and all reasonable effort will be made to ensure your team is adequately graded. From time to time, divisions may need to be combined
to provide appropriately sized competitions. In this case you may experience some games being played against teams with either more or less experience
than your own.
Summer competitions are generally a little smaller than those during semester time and competitions will be graded into divisions appropriate to the registrations
received (usually two or three divisions).
I don't have a team - can I register as an individual?
Yes you can. We will do our best to find a team for you but keep in mind our competitions are quite full and this may not always be possible. We do keep
a reserves list so captains can contact you if they require extra players or casual fill-ins. Simply indicate on your registration that you are happy
for your contact details to be accessed by team captains.
How do I access the draw?
Each season’s draws will be published online here. You can also access them on your mobile device via The Forum’s mobile friendly website – simply tap
‘Sport Comp Draws’ at the bottom right of screen.

competitions.
