University and Tertiary Sport New Zealand is a not-for-profit organisation that enables competition and workforce opportunities for tertiary students in sport.
UTSNZ, in conjunction with its partners, enables tertiary students to represent their Whare Wānanga in sport at a regional or national event and their country at an international level. Through its initiatives and partnerships, UTSNZ also aims to provide sport workforce opportunities that enhance student employability and build future sector capability.
UTSNZ is committed to educating all audiences as research clearly shows the importance to keeping active between the ages of 18-24 – this a time when motivation and energy levels drop and lifestyles change significantly. The research shows that keeping active and socially connected is good for general well-being, as well as positively impacting on student academic performance and employability.
Registration of a team and players is through an online form. UTSNZ affiliated members will be sent the registration link.
The process to register is through two online forms and paper form:
- Team Registration Form:
- enter your team through the online form to secure a place in the relative competition.
- All compulsory details must be completed accurately.
- Once the team registration form has been completed and submitted, the next process is completing the player registration form per person.
- Player Registration Form:
- After completing the team registration form, you will received a confirmation email and a different link to enter your players into your team.
To be eligible to compete in an UTSNZ event, for the duration of the event participants must meet the following five criteria:
- Be a currently enrolled student.
- Be enrolled in a certificate or higher award offered by the member institution or by a recognised feeder school of the tertiary institution.
- Be able to prove their identity and must be able to prove their enrolment if requested.

For the Tertiary 3×3 Champs seedings are based on FIBA Ranking Points. These are calculated once all team members have been registered. The snake method will be used to place teams into pools.
For the National Tertiary Champs (5-a-side) there are no Qualifying Competitions, seedings shall be based on the standing of teams from the previous year’s competition. The snake method will be used to place teams into pools.
Please note: BBNZ will establish the competition pool structure and the teams within each pool and the game schedule for all BBNZ Competitions. The structure for draws of BBNZ Competitions is subject to availability of court space, time, and the number of teams and days of the Competition.
