WTFA calls for nomination of teams for this years competition, all teams are to register online, the team captain is to firstly register their team, once a team is registered the captain can pass on the team code to the players, then the team members can register online as participants of that team, subs can be paid online during the registration process.

If this could be done ASAP it would be greatly appreciated so draws can be prepared for next weeks papers etc. If you are not able to enter your team online by Monday please at least let me know your team and preferred Division by Monday so I can prepare the draw.

The season will kick off next Thursday 3/11/2016 at John Oxley Sportsground, the first week will be for grading purposes. The Committee will be there from 5:30pm, to assist anyone with registrations and collect payments from those unable to complete online.
