Score Cards / Results:

The system of recording results has changed for 2020.

​​​​​​​WHA is implementing new draws and standing software, which will also be used to submit results. Training and information will be provided. Please attend the schools meeting for initial information. The app can be downloaded in the Google Play store and Apple store.

There will be a workshop for the new Hockio scoring system, for Secondary Team Managers / Coaches: Friday 19th June, 6.30pm

Cancellation Rules:

Please check the WHA website home page around 2pm for official status of games.

Otherwise: If not cancelled AND weather changes it is up to the Umpires (in consultation with coaches) to determine if the match starts or is abandoned. A game is usually only abandoned for:

• Thunderstorms (two or more lightning flashes in 5min)
• Flooding (Surface is covered in water) and is unplayable
• Any situation the umpires deem unsafe (player safety is paramount)

A game can be started up to 15min late or have a 15min stoppage(e.g. 45min of play can be completed) and a result obtained BUT all games must finish /Stop as normal 5 min before next match is due to start.

Should the game be called off the following rules will apply:

• If 45min play completed the result will stand.
• As we don’t have facility to replay or complete ALL matches, all other cancellations will be a recorded as 0-0 Draw.
