3 Hosting Duties Each club will be rostered to host on the draw. Duties include: Having the goals on two fields set up by 8.15am. Setting up the duty table between field one and two (and the gazebo if rain is forecast), and ensure the score boards are ready for teams to get before their games, and the results folder ready for final score cards to be placed into after their games. Ensuring the first aid kit is available on the duty table. Packing down all goals at the end of games, if intermediate League isn t on after. If it is, then setting them up on four half fields. Cleaning up any rubbish. If a club fails to carry out its hosting duties, one point per team of that club will be deducted. All Teams (Club) Collect the scorecard prior to your team warm-up from the Duty Table. Ensure it is filed out correctly with player full names and numbers, passing it on to the other team and then have it ready to give to the umpires completed at the start of the game. This is important to ensure games can run to time and scorecards are filled out correctly with player s full names and numbers. At the game, each team needs to provide a timekeeper or scorer. The winning team is responsible to ensure either the umpire or themselves gets the scorecard back to the duty table directly after the game and that it goes into the results folder. Pack Up Duties Intermediate League All teams scheduled to play at 4pm (last game of the day) need to ensure they pack up the goals and mats on the field they are playing on, placing them back into the storage shed, along with the duty table, gazebo, and score sheets. Umpiring Clubs are allocated umpiring duties on the draw. Clubs are required to provide a set number of umpires as determined by the WLA Umpiring Officer.
