2021 Sydney Badge Competition Preliminary Gradings

Thank-you for your efforts in entering your teams for the 2021 Competition.

Please see attached the preliminary grading for each competition. We entrust that you will pass these gradings on to your relevant team contacts.

Some things to note:

• The Mens competition had 13 teams nominate for division 1 and 12 teams for division 2 with an influx of new teams and 2020 premier league teams. This made the top 2 divisions very competitive and as a result we had created a Division 12 in 2021. This means majority of teams will be in a lower division than what they nominated so please take this into consideration if you wish to make an appeal.
• The Saturday Ladies competition had a similar situation with 14 teams nominating division 2. We again have created another division in 2021 and majority of teams will be in a lower division than what they nominated

 As a result of this release, any team that wishes to appeal their preliminary grading must do so through the Badge Delegate and must be submitted according to Rule 9 – Grading Appeal. As per the rules, appeals must be received within 4 days of the release of preliminary grading. Please provide as much information about your team as possible including ratings and 2020 results. Team lists will not be sent out in 2021.

Please note the deadline for grading appeals is 5pm on Saturday, 13^th March 2021. No late appeals will be considered by the panel.

We look forward to another great competition in 2021.

Kind Regards.

TNSW Competitions Team.
