AGE GROUP FAQ
REPRESENTATIVE PLAYER RULE
Teams with two (2) or more Victorian Championship (VC) including VC Reserve and/or Victorian Junior League 1 (VJL 1) players top or bottom age, the team must play in the higher age group (up 1 age group) for the “Winter” season. If MDBA Management deem the team not dominant in the summer competition the rule may not apply. If that team has three (3) or more VC – VJL 1 they must play in the highest possible division in that higher age group.
The Association will monitor teams with 3 or more representative players throughout the season and reserve the right to move them to a higher division or age group should the competition be unfair.
