TUC will be a mixed competition, with the aim of have a fixed 5/2 ratio of men/women on the field. This will be may be altered depending on the results of the player survey.

The results of the player survey will play a big part in determining when and where games are held. The number of teams participating in the league will also determine the length of the seasons.

In order to player TUC, players must:

• Have a valid AFDA number
• Have paid any registration fees
• Be an official member of the team they are playing for

From the beginning of round 2 onwards, players will be ineligible to play in games if they have not provided a valid AFDA number, or have failed to pay their registration fees.

To help encourage players to turn up and play each week, as well as keep consistency of teams, pick-up players will not be allowed to participate in TUC. All players must be official members of the team they are playing for (what ever that means :D).

It is the responsibility of team captains to ensure all their players have meet the eligibility requirements for playing TUC games.

As TUC is aimed at being an elite competition, there will be some minimum skill requirements that players must be capable of before they are eligible to play. Initially, player eligibility will be determined by the TD and the team captains. Once TUC is up an running though, teams will be free to identify less experienced players they wish to recruit and train to a level that they can compete in TUC.

Some of the following will probably need to take into consideration the formation of teams for specific competitions, such as a Uni team.

Team captains may nominate 5 men and 2 women they wish to have make up the core of their team. Players who have not been selected as one of the core players will be selected through a “player draft” (ie. school yard style). There is a chance that not all players who put up their hand to play in TUC will be selected on a team.

It is inevitable that experienced players will move to Tasmanian, particularly in the case of international students who will be spending a semester or two in Tasmania. So rules will need to be formulated in order to handle these individuals, so as to avoid a situation where it is the first team to approach the player that gets them.

Teams will be encouraged to identify new talented from social leagues, and pick up games, that they wish to recruit and train up to a level where they can participate in TUC. It will be in a team's best interest to invest time and effort into newer players to ensure success of the team over a number of seasons. As with experienced players who move to Tasmanian, there may also be a need to formulate some rules as to how the recruitment process works (ie. to stop one team from taking all the new promising talent).

The League Organiser will be responsible for the follow:

• Setting registration fees
• Booking the venue
• Creating the draw
• Oversee the “player draft”
• Ensuring teams adhere to the competition rules

The team captains are responsible for the following:

• “Registering” their team and players
• Organising their players, and ensuring they turn up to games.
• Making sure players pay
