rules can be found on the TFA web site at www.austouch.com.au. Subsequent sub-sections specify
supplementary competition rules and procedures to be applied by BMTA. Teams participating in competitions
conducted by BMTA agree to be bound by TFA and BMTA rules and procedures. BMTA rules and procedures
can be found on the BMTA website: www.bmta.com.au.
2. Scheduling of Fixtures
Safety of participants and preservation of BMTA facilities, particularly the playing surface, will at all times take
precedence over the competition program. If games are affected because of wet weather or other reasons,
teams/clubs will be notified. Every effort will be made to replay postponed games. If time constraints prevent
this, alternative fixture nights and/or days may be used. BMTA reserves the right to adjust the fixture program
as deemed appropriate. A round may be cancelled if both spare weeks have already been utilized.
There will be no appeal over the rescheduling of fixture matches.
3. Forfeits
Teams must be in attendance at their playing fields five minutes before the commencement of their match.
Teams that cannot field a team on the scheduled, or rescheduled, date and time will be required to forfeit.
Should it be necessary for a team to forfeit its scheduled fixture game, the team contact must advise the
BMTA office by phone, by midday on the day before the scheduled game so that the referees and opposition
may be contacted. Teams who forfeit after 5:00pm on their nominated match day will be deducted 3

474 486.
Should a team forfeit a game without adequate notification, their nomination for the season following will be
reviewed. If a team forfeits three or more times in one season their status in the competitions will be reviewed
4. Grading
BMTA will attempt to grade teams according to level of ability, but reserves the right to re-grade any team, at
any time, in the best interests of a fair and even competition.
5. Code of Conduct
Except as provided in this section, BMTA and all teams and participants agree to be guided in respect of
judiciary and code of conduct matters by A Ready Reference Guide on Judiciary Matters prepared by Touch
Football Australia.
BMTA requires all players, coaches, managers, referees, parents and other spectators to behave in a
sportsmanlike, respectful, non-abusive and non-violent manner at all times. Team coaches, managers and
captains are responsible for the behaviour of all players and spectators. BMTA will not tolerate inappropriate
behavior or disrespect on or off the field at its competitions. This is in line with the Australian Sports
Commission recommendations.
Referees are entitled to caution players, coaches, managers, and spectators. Referees have the authority to
send abusive spectators from the playing field. Captains are responsible for the behaviour of their teams on
the field and will be the primary communication link between teams and the referees. The captain is the only
player permitted to communicate with the referee on rulings. Players shall not comment upon or question
referees decisions. Referees may require a player to be replaced temporarily, to go to the “sin bin” for a
period of time, or to leave the field of play for the remainder of the game. Coaches, managers, and spectators
displaying inappropriate behaviour may be asked to move away from the sidelines or ends of the field.
Referees at their discretion may take action against teams for the conduct of their coaches, managers, and
spectators, if in the referees’ judgment cited persons are displaying inappropriate behaviour. Referees are the
sole judge of fact. There will be a 15 minute ‘Cooling off’ period where players are not permitted to
approach the referee. A player sent from the field for the remainder of a game is required to serve an
automatic 2-week suspension. For offences receiving a suspension of two weeks or less, a full judiciary
panel does not have to be convened, with the Judiciary Chairperson only required to adjudicate the penalty.
The Judiciary Chairperson, on consideration of any incident reports, has the right to reduce the penalty or to
refer the matter to a full Judiciary for determination of increase, decrease or retention of the automatic penalty.
Written incident reports submitted to BMTA citing a player, team, club, association, official or other person for
misconduct will be forwarded to the Judiciary Chairperson for consideration. The Judiciary Chairperson may
decide to dismiss the matter, issue a suspension up to a maximum of 2 weeks and/or convene a Judiciary to
consider appropriate action.
Replacement Option
This option comes into play when the referee feels a sin bin is too harsh, a penalty in not quite enough or if the
referee feels a player needs a ‘cooling off’ period.
This option is used in a similar way to a Yellow Card in soccer. However, this is in no way meant to be a soft
option, players still must take responsibility for their actions.
If it is the case that the referee replaces a player, the signal is both arms crossed and above the head.
The replacement player must be off the field, before the substitute can enter, as per replacement rules,
however, the game should continue while the players are changing.
If a player is replaced, it is the duty of the coach, manager or captain to control this player while they are off
the field. If the player returns to the field and is still a problem, utilise any option necessary to maintain control.
Any player who receives three separate periods of time in three separate games with in the same season, will
RECEIVE AN AUTOMATIC 2 WEEK SUSPENSION. If this is deemed further action is warranted it would be
forward a judiciary hearing.
6. Apparel
Uniforms
Players must wear matching playing tops or matching one-piece outfits. Team Uniforms may not be more
than 25% white as they are the same colour as the referee uniforms.
All players are to wear identifying numbers, not less than 16cm in height, clearly displayed on the front or rear
of the top or one-piece outfit. No two players of the same team may wear the same number. Numbers
cannot be temporarily taped to shirts. No Roman Numerals. Numbers must be no more than double
digits. Three digit numbers are not allowed i.e. 100.
From the start of Round 1 players without correct uniform may hire a bib from BMTA Night Admin to permit
them to play. The hire of bibs will cost $10 cash ($5 refunded to player after return of bib to night admin). If
the uniforms of 2 teams are identical, 1 team will be supplied at zero cost a set of bibs for the match; however
a security deposit will be required to obtain bibs. The team contact will be invoiced for any bibs not returned
after the game. The invoiced amount will be regarded as outstanding team fees. No Bibs permitted for
finals.
Players who are filling in for team must not wear a white shirt regardless if they have hired a bib.
Footwear
Shoes with screw-in studs or cleats are not to be worn by any player. Light leather or synthetic shoes
with soft-moulded soles are permitted, provided individual studs are no longer than 13mm in length; the
measurement being taken from the sole of the boot. Hard-moulded football/rugby boots are not permitted
due to their potential to cause serious injury and the field damage.
Jewellery and Fingernails
All players must remove all jewellery including elastic wrist bands prior to the game. Jewellery that cannot be
removed must be taped. Fingernails must be kept short or must be taped.
7. Balls
Each team must be able to supply a Touch ball for each game. Touch balls may be purchased from the
administration office at Whites Hill.
8. Injuries
All injuries should be reported to the referee at the time of the injury, for noting on the back of the scorecard.
An incident report should also be submitted to the Competition Manager no later than the next business day
after the injury was incurred.
The only first aid that will be attended at the venue is immobilising and applying ice to the injury. If the injury
requires further treatment either an ambulance will be called or you must attend a medical practitioner of your
choice. Our staff are at the venue as administrators and not medical staff. Team managers are more than
welcome to provide their own first aid boxes.
9. General Use of Fields
Use of BMTA's fields other than for scheduled fixtures and finals is not permitted without the written approval
from the Manager. Requests must be submitted in writing to the Manager at least seven days prior to
proposed use.
10. Interrupted Games

cannot be completed, the following will apply:
Event occurs during the first half—result will be declared void and the game will be replayed at a time and
date to be advised.
Event occurs at half time or during the second half, the score will stand.
Where disruptions are temporary (of no longer than 20 minutes), the evenings schedule will continue as soon
as possible.
If a game is cancelled by a Referee or Official due to a player, team or team official’s behaviour, that team will
be deemed to have forfeited the game.
11. Substitution Boxes
Two opposing teams cannot share a substitution box, except where the field layout makes it impossible to do
otherwise (eg Fields 9 and 10). The team that wins to toss has the choice of which substitution box they will
use. Only players, coaches and managers are permitted to be in the substitution box. There is to be no one
else, including animals / chairs allowed in the substitution boxes as this is a safety and referee issue.
12. Field Restrictions in 2013
Every effort is being made by BMTA to ensure the integrity of our fields playing surface. BMTA may have to
take measures to ensure that the playing surfaces are maintained for sustainable use. This may result in
restrictions on field use in the future, including reducing game times and/or team numbers.
13. No Parking/Ambulance Gate
No persons are permitted to park their vehicles in “No Parking” areas or in front of the designated Ambulance
gate under any circumstances. Cars parked in these areas may be towed away.
14. Access to Cricket Fields
If accessing the cricket fields from the BMTA clubhouse via the stairs, you are required to walk behind the
cricket nets when cricket is training. This is a safety concern both for Touch and Cricket participants. Please
