2.11 Supplementary / Back-Up Umpires
Where numbers permit, the Brisbane Hockey Umpires Association will appoint official umpires to matches. It is the Clubs' responsibility to supply umpires for matches in the manner prescribed by the Board, even though an official umpire may be allocated to a specific match. Players who are designated by their Club to umpire a particular match, as per the fixture list, must be in attendance at the start of the match in case the official umpire cannot umpire that match. Any Club whose member is unable to carry out the assigned umpiring duties shall be guilty of an infringement of the rules and the relevant Club shall receive an automatic penalty of fifty dollars ($50) per offence. Where one Club has supplied an umpire for another Club, the Club which completed the umpiring duty will be awarded the fifty dollars ($50) fine.

2.12 Ball Attendants
During normal fixture matches the use of Ball Attendants will only be permitted if both teams agree.
The competing First Division Clubs in Semi-finals, Preliminary Finals, Grand Finals, Presidents Trophy and Memorial Cup will each provide a minimum of two (2) Ball Attendants per match.

2.13 Joint Finals Matches
Generally, the Joint Finals will include Division Two Women, Division One Women, Division Two Men, and Division One Men. Division Three matches will also be played, generally on Field 2. The match times and field allocations will be determined by a Joint Committee made up of representatives from the BHA, BWHA and the SHC.

2.14 Club Days at the SHC
Any Club wishing to have a Club Day shall negotiate with the BHA Director of Competitions prior to the creation of the season's fixtures. Grass competition Club Days will be considered where possible.

2.15 Grass Teams Home Matches
Wherever possible, and at least once in the season, grass teams from the same Club should be drawn to play at their home venue. This should be combined with the Juniors.

2.16 Grass Matches Venue Saturation
The draw for the grass divisions should be made so as to, wherever possible, saturate the venues being used. Due consideration should also be given to the usage of the grass fields at the State Hockey Centre.

2.17 Fixture Matches During Senior State Titles
Matches as determined by the Board may be scheduled on the weekend of the State Senior Titles and/or Premier League.

3 REGISTRATION SYSTEM
Competing Clubs shall nominate players for registration with the BHA using the "Member Registration" Form, prior to the commencement of the start of the first fixture.

Competing Clubs shall nominate teams for registration with the BHA using the "Team Registration" Form.
Competing Clubs shall register eleven (11) players in each senior division for which they have nominated prior to the beginning of the first fixture (per division) with players only then being able to play in divisions upwards.

Where a player is registered in a particular division that same player can play an unlimited number of matches in the next immediate higher division for his Club. If the same player were to play four (4) matches above his next immediate division then that player would be immediately registered in the highest division he has played.

No N.H.L. player can play below Division One. If a player has been out of competition with a serious injury a written request to the BHA Board to play in a lower grade may be considered.

Genuine Veterans (over 40 years of age) can play in any BHA competition for their Club without penalty.

At all times the Brisbane Hockey Association Board shall control de-registrations and/or re-registrations including players coming back after a lengthy period of injury.
