Naming of Teams
Please follow the following convention for school team names.:
School name A, School name B, School name C, School name D, School name E, School name F, etc
Eg. Campbell A, Campbell B and so on.
Or if more than one school use both school names eg Campbell/Lyneham A, Campbell/Lyneham B, Belconnen/Telopea A.
PLEASE DO NOT USE NUMBERS. Ideally use school name and a letter of the alphabet. This makes it easier for our computer entry set up. (If you can not provide a letter, put School X and the names of teammates in the comment field.)
You do NOT need to have school based teams but be clear and respectful if you use an alternate name for your team.
Incomplete Teams
So you haven't yet got a full team. Don't panic!
If incomplete teams register, participants may still compete BUT may be considered "unofficial" for the purpose of the competition. The organiser will endeavour to make up complete teams even if these are mixed school teams.
