• referee details have been submitted to BBNZ before the due date;
• the referee knows they have been put forward to referee;
• any referee expenses incurred (i.e accommodation, travel, food etc) must be covered by the School; and
• if a referee is not supplied, your team will not be entered into the tournament.

If you have any questions regarding referees please contact Melony Wealleans.
