Each School MUST provide a referee for each team (ie 2 teams, 2 referees etc). A referee clinic will be held at the tournament to up-skill referees with the rules of 3×3. The referee’s full details must be provided when registering your team, please note you must provide this information upon registering otherwise your team will be withdrawn. It is the responsibility of the School to ensure:
- 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.
If you or your nominated referee are unsure of any rules please find the 3×3 Rules of the Game video HERE (please note there are some slight changes in the 3×3 Champs rules).
