| Manager's Meeting Decisions The following decisions were made at the
Managers Meeting. They are to be adhered to at future Super Eight Tournements unless
altered at future Meetings.
a) Balls:
When accepting the invitation
to take part in next years Tournament each Team must now pay $100
to the host School.
b) Plate Play Off
Points are taken
through from Pool Play Points continue to be allocated for Plate event.
Round Robin is played whereupon each Team plays the Two Teams they have not played
in Pool Play.
Final Placings determined by Points
Total.
c) Playing of Substitute (No 5) Player
The Rules need to be
amended to state the following:
"The substitute (No 5) player can now play during a Fixture but the Teams must be
written down
before play commences".
This brings Super Eight in line
with the National Tournament.
The aim is to give the No 5 player
as many games as possible while recognising that no team is
strengthened by the inclusion of the No 5 player.
d) Centralised Venue
This was raised particularly to
help Gisborne Boys' High School and New Plymouth Boys' High School
but there was not unanimous agreement with this proposal.
It would need to be raised at a
Super Eight Principals' Meeting.
Thanks
My thanks to the
Managers of all Teams. You helped contribute in making the 2002 Tournament a very
successful event indeed.
Special thanks to Andrew Hope who
was in charge of all the games at Pukekura Park.
Regards
Bill Geange
