GRADES OF SENIOR COMPETITION

BWPI provides a competition for Senior Players in a variety of divisions that cater to the full spectrum of ability. The competition is broken down in grades as follows - Men's and Women's - A, B, C and X Grades.

Men and Women X Grade is a social competition for older players who wish to play in a strong competition without being part of the developmental pathway to A, B or C Grades. In the spirit of the social nature of this competition, all X Grade players must be 15 years or older.

GAME NIGHTS AND VENUES

  • Men’s A, B Grades will play on Wednesday nights at the Valley Pool.
  • Women’s A Grade will play Tuesday nights at Somerville House
  • Women's B and C Grades will play on Tuesday nights at the Valley Pool or Musgrave - please consult the draw.
  • X Grade (Men and Women) will play at the Valley pool on Monday nights.
This season, the A Grade competition, Men and Women, will be endorsed by the QAS and EAP coaches. It is, therefore, expected that all elite players will be participating in the Senior competitions for their Clubs.

DUTY CLUBS / TABLE OFFICIAL DUTIES

Arrangements will be made for each Grade / venue once the team numbers in each Grade are known and game nights and venues have been finalised.

REFEREEING

The Queensland Water Polo Referees’ Commission will be responsible for the appointment of the referees at all the Senior A, B & C Grade competition games this season, and BWPI will appoint the referees for the X Grade games. The cost of payment of the QWPRC referees is shared by BWPI (1/3 cost) and the competing Clubs in each competition. Accounts are sent out by the QWPRC at the end of each month.
