SYDNEY CUP/STATE CUP 2022
New Procedure For State Cup & Sydney Cup 2022
After the recent announcement that Australian Oztag has made with removing the Development Tournament for 2022, Sydney Oztag will now be running Sydney Cup which will allow all the players that would have gone away for Development Tournament to participate in.
- Each area is allowed to send two teams per division away to the NSW State Cup Championship.
- Teams that were previously division 1 will skip this process & not compete in Sydney Cup provided that the coach remains the same.
- Teams that wish to take the place of the second team to go away will now be required to compete in the Sydney Cup weekend tournament.
- The highest ranked team of that area in that division will gain that second spot.
Qualification Players & Coaches Eligibility:
For a player to qualify, they MUST have be registered in the Winter or Spring 2021 season & have played at least 7 competition games in a completed season. If you did not register in the either of the seasons, then you do not qualify.
