Pool System for Team Events
- The pool system is designed to maximise participation from eligible athletes in all sports where athletes do not have teams in their place of residence and teams that require additional players.
- Any player who meets the Basic Participation Criteria set out in the General Championship Rules can nominate for a Team Sport by filling out the Pool Nomination Form, and paying any appropriate fees set by the Organising Committee, prior to the deadline for Team Sheet Submission.
- Any team that has unfilled places in their squad can nominate to take one or more players from the Player Pool by advising the Executive Committee via the National Sports Coordinator.
- Applicants in the Player Pool will be allocated by the Executive Committee to teams prior to the commencement of the tournament, using an allocation methodology that it deems to be appropriate.
- Once the allocation of players to teams has been completed, the player will be restricted to play for the team they were allocated to for the duration of the tournament.
- The Executive Committee reserve the right to refuse an applicant’s request to nominate for the Player Pool or a team’s request to be allocated a player from the Player Pool, where this is deemed to be a manipulation of the pool system. An example is where a team is continually using the pool to target a specific player from another region, rather than finding and developing its own players.
