Got a Question?

How can I pay my team registration fees?

Intrinsic Sports accepts payment by Cheque, Money order, Internet transfer, direct debit or Visa / Mastercard.  Credit card details may be phoned, faxed or email to info@intrinsicsports.com.au.  Details required are:  Type of card, card number, expiry date, CCV (last 3 numbers on back signature panel) and card name.  A credit card receipt will be given to you at your first game, for your records.

Do I get a receipt for my registration fees?

If you would like a receipt, Intrinsic Sports is happy to email a copy of the Nil Balance invoice for your records.  For credit card payments, a merchant “Customer Copy” slip will also be supplied.

Do I have to bring anything to my game?

Intrinsic Sports will supply all equipment, qualified referees, scorer / first aid officer and winning team trophies at each competition.  While we encourage teams to wear a uniform (which may simply be a similar coloured t-shirt), this is not essential as we will supply playing bibs to differentiate your team from the opposition.  All you need to bring is a drink.

What is the minimum numbers of players needed to avoid a forfeit?

This will vary according to the sport you are playing:

Mixed Sports                            Regular team numbers                       Minimum to avoid forfeit

Netball                                          7 (maximum 3 males)                                5 (maximum 3 males)

Basketball                                    5 (maximum 3 males)                                4 (maximum 3 males)

Touch Football                             6 (maximum 4 males)                                4 (minimum 1 female)

Floorball                                       5 (maximum 3 males)                                4 (maximum 3 males)

Volleyball                                     6 (maximum 4 males)                                4 (maximum 4 males)

Soccer: indoor                            5 (maximum 3 males)                                4 (maximum 3 males)

Outdoor                                       6 (maximum 4 males)                                5 (maximum 4 males)

How long do I have after my scheduled game time to take to the court?

If your team cannot field the minimum number of players required to avoid a forfeit within 5 minutes of the official game clock starting, your game will be declared a forfeit and the opposing team, provided they are ready to play, will have a win recorded.  The forfeit scores are:

Netball, Basketball, Volleyball              20 to Nil

Touch Football, Soccer, Floorball          5 to Nil

Can I add extra players to my team once a competition has started?

Yes.  New players can be added throughout the rounds’ games of your competition.  You do not need to advise the Intrinsic Sports’ office; new players may simply sign on at their first game.  However, new players cannot be introduced during semi-finals or finals’ games.

Can I borrow players on a one-off basis from a team that has just played a game?

Yes.  However, to avoid the game being recorded as an official forfeit, you must have the minimum required numbers of players for your sport, from your own team.

Can I borrow players for a Semi Final or Final?

Only players that have signed on and played during the rounds’ games for your team, may play in your team for the semi-finals and finals.  Where companies or social groups have submitted more than one team in a competition, players may only play for one team during semis and finals.

Are semi-finals and finals supplied for all teams, or only the Top 4?

At Intrinsic Sports, we schedule semi-finals and finals for all teams, not just those in the Top 4.  While the Top 4 teams at the end of the rounds’ games will be playing for medals at the conclusion of the Finals series, the draw will include play offs for minor placings. 

Once my team has played in an Intrinsic Sports competition, do I get priority entry to the following comp?

Yes.  Teams in current competition have until the date of the Final game to register their team for the subsequent competition, and be offered an automatic place.  After the date of the Final, we will open the competition to new teams on the wait list (based on receipt date of Registration Form).

How do I know if my game is cancelled due to wet weather?

In the event of wet weather, your team captain will be notified only if games are cancelled, either by email or (if the grounds’ closure is close to game time) by phone.  For outdoor competitions at Ultimo or North Sydney, two weeks will be added into the draw for the rescheduling of rained out games.  For Domain competitions, the competition may only be extended in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Royal Botanic Gardens Trust; usually rained out games will not be rescheduled.

Can my team request early or late timeslots in our competition?

Yes.  Intrinsic Sports will make every effort to accommodate individual teams’ requests for early or late games; however, when this is not possible due to conflicting requests, teams will be given an even distribution of game times.
