To view the age group FAQ’s follow this link: AGE GROUP FAQ'S
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.
Grading of all competitions from Under 10’s upwards will be for four rounds unless the competition only has enough teams for 1 division. Refer to the MDBA By Laws for full details.
