Tactical Change Rule: Clarification for schools
Request for a tactical change
Each team may request one (1) tactical change per game.
The request must be made via the umpire.
What counts as a tactical change
A tactical change may include:
Substitution: swapping an on-court player with a substitute player.
Teachers/coaches should be positioned on the goal line near their defensive end at the start of play.
Communication process:
From this position, the teacher/coach may communicate with the GK/GS, who should then inform the umpire of the tactical change being requested.
Timing requirements:
The umpire must be informed of the tactical change before the Centre Pass
Tactical changes may only be made before a C-Pass.
Speed of change:
Changes must be made quickly to avoid delay.
Please ensure any substitutes are ready to enter immediately, with bibs on and prepared to take the court.
Umpire oversight
An umpire may refuse a tactical change if:
The request is considered frivolous, or
The request is made at a time that would disrupt or delay play.
Rules and Regulations
Ball hitting the post: If the ball hits the post and comes back on to the court, it comes back into play. Play on.
Scoring: 5 points for a win 3 points for a draw, 1 point for scoring 50% or more of the winning team’s score
Pool stage: The group order will be decided by the number of points scored by each team. In the event of a tie on points, the following will decide final placings:
1.Goal difference*
2.Total goals scored.

*Goal difference is calculated as the number of goals scored in all leagues matches minus the number of goals conceded. e.g. Team 1 - 15 goals for – 5 goals against = +10 (this team wins) Team 2 - 19 goal for – 10 goals against = +9
