Cost

Each match costs $55 per team to cover referee fees, court hire and competition logistics. You’ll be asked to pay a $220 team bond before the competition begins. This payment will cover your last 4 games, considering on the number of games you forfeit (refer to Forfeit section). Teams pay for their match at the Front Reception and hand the receipt to the person running the competition on the day, before they take the court.

Forfeit

If your team has to forfeit a match please call us as soon as possible. If you call on the day of the game, your team will be deducted $110 from your bond. This payment covers your normal payment (court time and referee fees) as well as the payment of your opposition. It is unfair for an opposing team to have to pay for their match if they have nobody to play against. Your team will only be deducted $55 from the bond if you call a day before the match or earlier. Should your team not forfeit any games, your last 4 match fees are covered by the bond (so you won’t have to pay).

Time and Day of Matches

Matches are played on Wednesday nights starting at 6:30pm and finishing at 10:45pm.

Divisions

There are two divisions, division 1 and 2. Division 1 is a higher level competition than division 2. Players must be 17 years of age or older to play in either. Teams play a trial game in the beginning of the competition to decide which division suits them best. Division allocation is based on standard of play and not necessarily on the final result. For example, if two teams exhibit high level play and yet one team wins 5-2, both teams may still be placed in division 1. Teams can also request which division they prefer to play in and we will try and accommodate this; however, for fair competition for everyone, we will still need to see teams play. Division 1 and 2 play simultaneously as we have two courts available for Futsal on Wednesday nights. 

Amount of Teams

This number depends on the amount of teams which register. In the last competition we had 14 teams for each division. 

Rules

If you are unsure about any rules please visit The Fifa Futsal Laws Of The Game.Our referees can also happily answer any questions you have about the rules before and during the match. Should your team have a complaint about referring, we ask that you email Lisandro Berbis on whitlambookings@belgravialeisure.com.au. He will endeavour to find out what the problem was and help to fix it. We simply ask that you do not take it out on the referees or staff during or straight after the match as it sets us back which means other teams begin their game late.

Semi Finals and Grand Final

Teams who finish in the top 4 will playoff for a place in the grand final. First plays against fourth, while second battle it out against third. The winners of each game meet in the grand final. Teams who finish between fifth and eight will also have a playoff to determine where they finish for the season. It is a good chance to get back at some teams and allows for extra games. Please note that, teams who finish in the 5^th-8^th bracket are unable to make it to the grand final. Teams who finish further than eighth, will not be involved in any playoffs. 

Junior Competitions

The maximum age for junior competition is 16. Please call to enquire more information. 

We are located on 90a Memorial Avenue, Liverpool. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me, Lisandro Berbis, on 9600 9333. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. 

Hope to see you soon!
