LEARN TO SCORE
Basketball requires officials of varying skills and without these people involved we wouldnt see such things as live scores and statistics taken in many of our organised competitions. Whilst we all have a general idea of how scoring works, it can be quite overwhelming if it's your first time having to fill in a scoresheet or to operate a 24 second shot clock. Come along to a short introduction course. |
|
 |
|
Please ensure you have registered online and handed in your Sports Voucher to the DBA office or Ticket Office.
|
|
 |
Bring the family down for some quality League action - Thursday/Friday and Saturday night games!
|
|
 |
| Please be advised there is NO SMOKING in and around the venue including the caretakers residence. The smoking area is out the front near the electrical box. |
|
| Please refrain from bringing outside food and drink into the stadium. Exceptions will be made for dietary requirements. Basically it costs your Association every time an outside purchase is bought into the venue. This may be in cleaning costs and also loss of revenue. The DBA canteen is a source of income that benefits ALL members. This is significantly reduced when people frequent other commercial venues, so unless they are a MAJOR sponsor your dollar spent there is affecting YOUR club. |

5.5 Player Conduct
(i) Technical fouls – any player or coach who accumulates three (3) or more technical fouls during a season is automatically suspended for a period of one (1) competition week. For second and subsequent breaches of this Bylaw, the penalty shall increase by one (1) competition week for each breach. Example; (a) For second accumulation of three (3) technical fouls the penalty shall be two (2) competition weeks (b) For a third accumulation of three (3) technical fouls the penalty shall by three (3) competition week, and so on.

(iii) A competition week includes the final series if a player or coach is eligible to participate pursuant to Bylaw 19.
(iv) Penalties imposed under this Bylaw shall carry across different competition seasons. For example, if a player or coach accumulates enough technical fouls in Season A to be penalised two (2) weeks, but there is only one (1) week left in the Season A competition for them to participate, then the player or coach shall be suspended for the first week of the following season, whether it be the same calendar year or whenever the player or coach next elects to participate. (v) Any suspension received under this Bylaw must be served prior to the player or coach participating, and is not subject to any appeal review.

|
| Please try and buy your game tickets BEFORE commencing your game. The ticket office will be closed before half time in the last game and the Court Supervisor is only able to sell tickets on EFTPOS. This is done for safety and to reduce overheads of ticket office which directly affect future fee rises. |
|
|
| Please do not bring bubble or chewing gum into the venue. It is dangerous to play whilst chewing and will certainly NOT help keep the courts in great condition. |

Please be advised the draw for the season is posted on the DBA website. Click on Competitions - Fixtures/Results - Fixture/Draw.
Please ensure you check the draw daily for the first week, incase there are last minute changes. We will try not to make changes but as players register late - this is sometimes unavoidable. |
|
 |
| If you cannot find your team, that may mean your Competition has more than 10 teams and has been graded into Pools. If you see the arrow above the Round then click on it. |
|
 |
| This will then bring up the Pools - Pool A and Pool B. Select a Pool to locate your team. Competitions with Pools will play a crossover for semi finals. |
