No numbers outside that range will be allowed. Only approved playing uniforms will be permissible for players to wear while they are involved in any game. To assist with crowd control, team officials must also wear Entity issued clothing while they are involved in any game and ensure they wear enclosed footwear (i.e. if they are in the interchange area or in an alternative coaching position close to the field). There are to be no changes to the playing uniform (i.e. inner or outer clothing or style of clothing) unless the Entity has previously submitted an exemption request for a player to TFA and that request has been granted.

A combination of playing uniforms is not permitted within a specific team. All members of the team must wear the same style, cut and design of shirt, singlet top, shorts, bike pants, body suits, socks and hats. TFA Staff will look to enforce this as they have at previous events. In addition to being advised to rectify the issues / situations, a $20 (GST free) fine per offence to a maximum of $100 (GST fee) may be issued for breaches of not wearing the correct uniform including non-conforming Entity / Other hats. Any player who is not playing in the official uniform may not be allowed to take the field of play until correctly attired. Referees will endeavour to enforce this rule. However, if a breach is proven to have occurred it will result in a caution and/or fine as deemed appropriate by Tournament Management. All current uniform designs are to be forwarded to TFA by 5pm AEDST 30 July 2014 (Wednesday) to ensure compliance and the approved scheme for each Entity and that all uniform details are lodged on record. Any player who is not playing in the official uniform will not be allowed to take the field of play until correctly attired. Referees will endeavour to enforce this rule. However, if a breach is proven to have occurred it will result in a caution and/or fine as deemed appropriate by TFA s Tournament Management. Uniform designs including white cannot make up more than 10% of the overall design; in addition, charcoal shorts/bike shorts are not permitted (as they are the predominant colours of referees uniforms). Compression Clothing The use of short length compression apparel such as short thigh length or calf length items of clothing will be permissible to be worn by a player (underneath their official uniform) and must be barely visible and with no prominent logo(s). The use of longer compression apparel will require specific dispensation from TFA s Tournament Management prior to wearing in a game. Page 2
