(a) Matches affected by Bushfire, Water Restrictions, Petrol Strikes or unplayable home courts shall be
deemed a draw.
(b) If due to wet weather the home court is unplayable, the match shall be declared a washout. This
decision cannot be made before 8.15 a.m. and must be mutually acceptable to both captains. If it is not
acceptable to both captains, all team members must attend courts. If all members of a team are not
present, the eight (8) premiership points shall be awarded to the team not defaulting.
(c) If a washout/heatout is called by phone, the Home Captain ONLY must submit the online Mail Form
to the current Record Secretary to advise of the washout/heatout.
(d) If owing to courts being unplayable at 10.30 a.m. play may be abandoned, unless Captains agree to
wait to decide if the match could be played. If a match is stopped due to rain and is not able to
recommence within one hour of such stoppage and no decision has been reached the match shall be
deemed a washout.
(e) If the temperature reaches 32°C at the appointed starting time the match will be declared a heat-out
and play abandoned. However after the match has commenced, the temperature may be checked at
the completion of each set and, if it has reached or exceeded 30°C, either team has the option to
abandon play and declare a heat-out. The temperature may be verified by the clubs own thermometer
(in the shade) or a telephone call to the weather bureau 1300 163 578. Cancellation may be arranged
before the appointed starting time. This decision cannot be made before 8.15 a.m. and must be
mutually acceptable to both captains. If it is not acceptable to both captains, all team members must
attend courts.
(f) On the days that have been declared a total fire ban in the areas covered by FTG&DLWTA, clubs which
are within a high fire zone may call a "heat out" for both home and away matches - no earlier than 6pm
on the day preceding the scheduled match. The Club declaring the "heat out" must advise the
opposition Clubs affected by this decision. The home team only must submit the online Mail Form to
the current Record Secretary to advise of the "heat out".
