Bravo!

Praise the lord

Yep, well done!

Great stuff,get that place rocking !!

I hope they all go late night shopping instead.

Commonsense prevails. Well done BSA.

Well common sense may well prevail but what is the impact on friday night div 1/2? For at least 2 clubs (south and mavs) with another postponed game? With Easter, school holidays that makes it three games in total before the junior champs. Mavs games that were postponed due to Mt Barker show are still tba. There has to be a point where Hoops SA keyboard warriors stop influencing the whole BSA comp to the point where it compromises the entire winter comp. Don't forget the the postponed games (round 4) will potentially cause all sorts of problems with qualification for junior champs with players possibly playing div 2/3 in round 4 and missing out on div 1 for JC. How is BSA dealing with the complications?

1. Why would a division 1 player be playing div 2 or even div 3 in the lead up to State Champs?
2. Why does the postponing of the round specifically cause these players an issue?

"With Easter, school holidays that makes it three games in total before the junior champs."

3. Actually it's 4 games, which is the same for everyone. What's your point?

Happy to corrected.

Players play in lower divs covering illnesses and injuries and rotations.

I understand that round 4 team sheets provide the player names that are then registered for JC. Postponed round 4 games may throw some curve balls for some clubs.

Some clubs now have 2 postponed games to squeeze in before JC. JC is hard enough without having two extra games in the 10 days before hand with significant risk of injury to players.

How many Friday night players are actually going to the 36ers game?

SA Junior Championship Rules:

"6. Player Eligibility
All players must be registered with Basketball SA.

"For a player to be eligible to represent a club or association, the player must have played in a minimum of 3 games in competitions/tournaments either representing the club/association or run by the club/association, in the period since October 1
prior to the Championships.

"Players that have played a game in division one of the current Junior District season in the three rounds prior to the Championships, will be ineligible to play in a Reserve grade."

You were close, but not quite correct.

I doubt many (if any) division 1 players would be playing in division 2 or 3 to cover injuries, especially this early in the season. But if they are, they wouldn't be disadvantaged (see above).

The round 1 matches for Mavs and South teams may not be rescheduled prior to State Champs - not sure why it is assumed they would be.

The number of players attending the 36ers game can't really be determined until tickets are sold to members and the general public. BSA is simply providing families the opportunity, which I'm sure many till take advantage of.

Great news, Can't please everyone but at least there is some good news for the 36er FANS!!

Far out, Damned if you do, Damned if you don't!!
If those 5 rock up and see the 36ers win, the rest missed out!!
Enjoy your chocolates Forrest!!

Maybe only 100 extra people get to attend the game as a result of the rescheduling, but there would still be hundreds of people who are now free to support the team and watch the game on TV.

Would they play junior footy games on the day the Crows or Power next make the GF, which is played in another city?

Hard one there Jimmy as all footy is finished by the time the AFL GF is played besides SANFL and then there games are often changed to suit the AFL Finals.
