Phase 1: Do these now

1. Invite your players

• Download the app: This is where you will manage everything.
• Create invite codes: Go to your team section in the app to generate these.
• Set the payment amount: We recommend asking teammates for $100 each. You can split any remaining balance once you have your final head count.
• Share the link: Send the invite link to your group chat so everyone can register.

2. Use the App Team Chat

• Send a message to the group to introduce yourself.
• Use the chat for all team updates or to run polls for things like shirt sizes.

3. Order your uniforms

Every team needs to wear matching colors. You can buy plain shirts from Kmart or order sport-specific gear here:

• Netball Bibs: HART Sport
• Basketball Reversibles: Veto Sports
• Soccer/Volleyball Jerseys: Veto Sports

4. Confirm your start date and venue

• Check the Start Dates page to see when your first game is.

Phase 2: Start Playing

• Check for notifications: On the Friday before your first game, you will get a notification with your match time.
• Manage RSVPs: Post in your team chat asking everyone to RSVP so you know you have enough players for the game.

‍

Phase 3: Team Payment

• You can track your balance in your team dashboard.
• The balance must be zero by Friday of Week 2.
• If there is an outstanding balance after 9am that Friday, it will be automatically charged to your saved payment method by 5pm.

Phase 4: Season Rules

Essential Rules:

Forfeits = A $99 fee applies for no-shows. To avoid this, find subs or notify us by 1pm on game day.
‍Wet Weather = If you play outdoors, check the website for updates if it's raining.
‍Game Times = Games rotate between 6pm and 9:45pm to keep things fair for everyone.
‍Public Holidays = We do play on public holidays.
‍Behaviour = We have a "2 Strike" rule. Swearing or aggressive behaviour will result in team removal.
Game times = Games run between 6pm - 9:20pm. Your game time cannot be set, and will change each week but we work hard to have an even spread of game times for all teams so you shouldn't have more than 3 early or late games.
‍Insurance = SportUP does not provide insurance. Please ensure players are aware they play at their own risk.

What Does Social Mean In Social Sport?

• SportUP is specifically a social sports organisation, we are not a competitive league.
• Should you play like you're in the NBA/FIFA World Cup/Olympics?  We're all here for a good time over a good score.
• If your team does care about winning over enjoyment of the game, SportUP isn't for you. Respect should always be shown to your teammates, the referee and your opposition.

‍
Team Captain Responsibility

• Players OVER 18 years old only - SportUP operates adult only social competitions. As a result, all players must be 18, or over the age of 18, before they can start playing with us. Any players found to be playing while under the age of 18, will be asked to leave the league/venue immediately and no refunds will be offered for future fixtures missed that may have been paid for.
  
• Player Sign On - Players have entered their team details correctly on either game card or online through SportUP website (www.sportup.com.au/add-players), including contact numbers, email, phone number and signatures.
  Sign in players taking the court each and every game. Each player must have played and signed in for a minimum of 3 games to be able to play in Wk 11 and 12 games.
• Team Fees - By registering a team in our competition you have committed yourselves to a 12 week season. The $200 deposit reserves your team a spot for the first week. This deposit and the full season fee are not refundable. SportUP reserves the right to delay seasons when required. The team captain is responsible for paying the team fee and recover the costs from their team individually. There are no refunds for team deposits regardless of reason.
• Forfeits and Subs - There is a $99 forfeit fee if your team do not show up.
  If your team is short, we have a subs group so you can find a replacement player here.
  To avoid the forfeit fee, you can post on the subs group before 1pm. If it looks like you still might need to forfeit you need to contact us on 0425908308 by 1 pm on your game day and we can help you out.
  If you can find sub replacements that will play for your missing players so the game can still go ahead then we do not charge any forfeit fee.
• Insurance - Captains must ensure that each player on your team must have their own personal insurance that covers the sport that they are playing. Indoor sports is a dangerous activity and may cause serious injury or death. Any players that participate at SportUP do so at their own risk. Management and all staff hold no responsibility for injury, death or loss of personal property.
• Auto-renewal - Auto-renewal and the automatic deposit of $105 is automatically processed the day after your Week 8 game. If you do not wish to auto-renew and secure your spot in for next season, opt out here. By doing so, you relinquish your team place in next season's competition, and we will offer your spot to new teams.
