There is no preferred day of play for this event. Based on last year’s entries you will play on either Saturday or Sunday but not both and we will only use the Friday night as a last resort.
There is a new selection process this year. Two teams of 6 travel to the Australia Cup and the trials will be used to determine the Top 12 players. Once that is done the ACTEBA Core will select who of those 12 play in each team.
The Australia Cup is an event that targets players who may not usually get the opportunity to play at Nationals, enabling better exposure to the pressures and quality of players from around Australia. The event is played alongside the Nationals and this year is on the Gold Coast from 18th to 28th November.
