7 2.5 Transfers In 2013 Basketball Queensland introduced a new Transfer Policy which applies to all Basketball Competitions. All those competing in the QBJBC must abide by this Police which can be found on the BQ website under Policies. The Policy consists of two parts as follows: 1. Permission to Train This completed form must be handed to IBA on or before the first trial date. This is imperative because if an association has not granted a player permission to train and the player subsequently seeks a transfer, the Association accepting the player will be fined up to $200 and the player that breached the rule will not be permitted to play representative basketball for a period of up to three months. 2. Transfers A transfer is required for any member wishing to change from one affiliated Club or Association to another. It is the responsibility of the accepting affiliated association to ensure clearances and transfers are obtained prior to the commencement of the individual playing or training. Once a junior representative player transfer has been granted there is a mandatory waiting period whereby a player must wait one calendar month from the date that the transfer is approved by Basketball Queensland before they can play representative basketball for a new association. 2.6 Grading The aim of the Grading Competitions is to grade teams into divisions for their relevant age group and gender where they will compete against teams of equal calibre. Grading Competitions are generally held for all Premier League Divisions (with the only exception being that the number of teams who have nominated to grading matches the number of positions available in Premier League) And in the Southern Cup Division and Challenge Cup Division where there is enough teams to form a Challenge Cup and Development Cup competition also. The grading competitions will be held on the weekends of the 5 th and 6 th on September and 12 th and 13 th of September. 7

8 Rules regarding the number of teams permitted to contest grading are as follows: Top 4 teams from BQJBC two years ago gain automatic entry into the BQJBC premier League in their new age groupings and thus will not contest grading (i.e. Top 4 teams in U12 Boys gaining automatic entry into U14 Boys Premier League Competition). Eligible Associations are permitted to enter one team to contest Premier League Grading (for those Associations whose first team have gained automatic qualification their second team may be entered into Premier League Grading) All third teams from any Association must start the season in Challenge Cup and therefore cannot contest Southern Cup Grading. At present there are four weeks between Grading and Round One, during this time the draw will be developed and sent to the Association. As soon as it becomes available it will be forwarded onto Team Managers. Please note BQ have a new system for developing draws to get them out as early as possible to allow families to plan their weekends. The first rounds will be released in the first instance with the remainder of the draw to follow shortly after. The draw will only be released up to Round Swap Over Challenge The Swap-Over Challenge gives the top two teams in Southern Cup the opportunity to play the bottom two teams in Premier League, for their position in Premier League. In age groups with three divisions the top two teams in Challenge Cup have the ability to play the bottom teams in Southern Cup and in age groups with four divisions the top two teams in Development Cup have the ability to play the bottom two teams in Challenge Cup. Teams that can challenge and be challenged are determined at the end of Round Wildcard Challenge All teams who are in Premier League must nominate to Division 1 of the State Championships. At the completion of Round 14 however, the 7 th and 8 th place teams can be challenged for their Division 1 position through the Wildcard Challenge by teams who competed in the Southern Cup Competition only. 8

9 The format of the Wildcard Challenge Competition is set once all nominations are received. Please check the Basketball Queensland Website for more information. 2.9 Finals Eligibility Players must play a minimum of 40% of games in a team to qualify to play finals for that team. In the case that 40% would not be a round number the total will be rounded up (i.e. 5.6 games becomes 6 games). In season BQ introduced Stadium Scoring which means that only those players at the game will be recorded against playing in that game. Applications for Exemption to Eligibility Rule Teams may apply for an exemption to the finals eligibility rules only under the below circumstances: If a player does not qualify due to an injury If a player misses BQJBC games whilst representing their State in National Junior Championships, or Australia on official national duties at National Camps or playing for Australia. If a team reduced to 8 or less players for finals an application can be made to bring an additional player into the team If a player has moved more than 100km and joined an Association Rep team in the new year (2016) they will be required to play more than half of the remaining games to be eligible for finals (i.e. with 7 games remaining they will be required to play 4 games) The full terms for applying for an exemption can be found in the BQJBC Official Rules Ipswich Basketball Website The Ipswich Basketball website is All information pertaining to Representative basketball can be found under the heading Junior Rep Season Ipswich Basketball Points of Contact The Team Manager is your first point of contact.

11 The Queensland State Championships are a culmination of the representative season. If your team is travelling to Central or North Queensland Ipswich Basketball will assist the team Manager in arranging travel and accommodation if required. It is expected that all teams travelling to Central or Northern Queensland will travel and stay together as a team for the duration of the State Championships. Please note it is NOT compulsory for anyone to stay away (other than those travelling to Townsville and Mackay in 2016). For all other teams it is suggested that at the first team meeting, your team establish then and there whether they will be staying away as a team. Arrangements should be made as early as possible as accommodation gets booked very quickly. IMPORTANT there are implications for players that withdraw from the team prior to representing Ipswich Basketball in any competition, eg Ineligibility for basketball in Australia if there are outstanding payments owing. If the player is travelling to a Central or Northern State Championships and they withdraw prior to the championships they are still accountable for the entire costing that was outlined at the beginning of the season regardless of whether a replacement player is found. The draw for State Championships is not released until approximately 2 weeks before the tournament commences. Teams should expect to play at least two games per day. 4. Registration - IMPORTANT Ipswich Basketball Player registrations are renewed in January each year. All Ipswich Basketball representative players must re-register in Ipswich to be eligible to play for Ipswich. All players MUST submit their registration and payment online via the Ipswich Basketball website no later than the IBA rules require.

Season ending Injury/Illness Any player that incurs an injury/illness during the season remains responsible for their season fees, including State Championships (for teams travelling the Central or North Queensland).
