2. Team Captain presence and accountability
Team captains must play on their teams and or be present at each game.
3. Players OVER 16 years old only
SportUP operates adult-only social competitions. As a result, all players must be 16, or over the age of 16, before they can start playing with us.

5. Team Fees
By registering a team in our competition you have committed yourselves to a 12 week season. The $200 deposit reserves your team a spot for the first week. This deposit and the full season fee are not refundable. SportUP reserves the right to delay seasons when required.
The team captain is responsible for paying the team fee and recovering the costs from their team individually.
If full payment is not received by SportUP by it’s due date SportUP reserves the right to refuse a team access to the court until payment is made in full. This will result in a missed game for that team and a recorded forfeit loss. .
There are no refunds for individual bookings or for team deposits regardless of reason.

As of January 1st, 2022, all players must be double vaccinated, and show proof of vaccination to be able to enter the premises and attend games.
If, for any reason, SportUP are required to pause games for any period of time, SportUP will reschedule and run those games as soon as we are able to do so. All competitions will still complete the full 12 round season.
We are not able to provide refunds for team deposits OR full team fees due to vaccination status or pausing of competitions.
If your team would like to withdraw from your remaining or upcoming season, we can provide a SportUP credit to be used in a future season.
6. Forfeits and Subs
There is a $89 forfeit fee if your team does not show up.
If your team is short, we have a subs group so you can find a replacement player here.
To avoid the forfeit fee, you can post on the subs group before 1pm.
We can then help tag people that we know might be keen so that your opposition don’t miss out on their game.
If you can find replacements for your missing players then we do not charge any forfeit fee.
If your team does not show up or is unable to field a full team for 2 games in a season then we reserve the right to eject this team from the remainder of the season with no refund.
Any outstanding monies such as forfeit fees will be invoiced to the captain and must be paid before Friday to be included in next week’s fixtures. It is up to the captain to recover costs from team members.
Failure to comply with any of the above responsibilities means SportUP reserves the right to suspend the team from the competition until such time as all debt is removed.
In the event that any of these responsibilities are not followed, actions will be taken for debt recovery.
7. Game Cancellations
SportUP reserves the right to cancel up to 2 games per season for unexpected and unavoidable circumstances such as, but not limited to; natural weather dangers, venue concerns/matters or covid mandates.
