All those competing in the BQJBC must abide by this Policy which can be found on the BQ website under Policies. The Policy consists of two parts as follows: 1. Permission to Train Please note GCCRBA do not accept Permission to Train Forms. Only full transfers are accepted by Gold Coast Basketball, which must be finalised prior to the trials. This is imperative as if an association had not granted a player permission to train and the player subsequently seeks a transfer, the Association accepting this player will be fined up to $200 and the player that breached the rule will not be

9 permitted to play representative basketball for a period of up to three (3) 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 associations 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 (1) 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 Southern Cup Divisions and Challenge Cup Divisions where there is enough teams to form a Challenge Cup and Development Cup competition also. The grading competitions will be held as per BQJBC Calendar. Rules regarding the number of teams permitted to contest grading are as follows: Top 4 teams from BQJBC two years ago gain automatic entry in to 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 in to U14 Boys Premier League Competition). Eligible Associations are permitted to enter one team to contest Premier League Grading (for those Associations whose first teams have gained automatic qualification their second team may be entered in to 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 five 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.

10 2.7 Swap Over Challenge The Swap-Over Challenge gives the top two teams in Southern Cup the opportunity to play the bottom two teams in the Premier League, for their positions in Premier League. In age groups with three divisions the top two teams in Challenge Cup have the ability to play the bottom two 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 7th and 8th placed teams can be challenged for their Division 1 position through the Wildcard Challenge by teams who competed in the Southern Cup Competition only. 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 then the total will be rounded up (i.e. 5.6 games becomes 6 games). 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 is reduced to 8 or less players for finals an application can be made to bring an additional player in to the team. The full terms for applying for an exemption can be found in the BQJBC Official Rules.
