At the end of last year NSWJBL changed eligibility rules governing participation in NSWJBL tours.
Previously, while we restricted applications to NSWJBL members we did open vacant positions in touring sides to players who were not members at a premium of $220.
Following further consideration the Board decided that it was important for us to maintain maximum benefits for our members while increasing opportunities for supporters from Associations who were no longer full members of our League.
To this end we will open positions on our touring teams in the coming touring season as follows.
- Players from Member Associations will have automatic rights to trial and be selected.
- Players from Clubs which take out Associate Member status will also have automatic rights to trial and be selected but will pay an additional $110 if selected.
- Non-member players will only be allowed to trial if available positions are not filled by applications from members (i.e. quality non-member players cannot expect to be allowed to trial at the expense of any member applicant). If there are spaces available at the close of nominations, non-members will be allowed to trial. If selected they will pay an additional $220.
