Weekly Rule Highlight:

NOTE: Please ensure your fins have rubber edges, hard edged fins/flippers are not permitted.

Caps, Swimwear, Jewellery and Fins (Flippers)

2.1 Caps of different colours shall be worn by each team, one team wearing light, the other dark and must be fastened under the chin.

2.1.1 Caps are to be worn through the entire duration of the game.

2.1.2 Caps are to have malleable ear protectors of the same colour.

2.1.3 Caps shall be numbered on both sides with numbers 10cm in height and/or clearly visible to the umpires. A player cannot change their cap number during the game except with permission from the umpire.

2.2 Players shall wear non-transparent costumes or costumes, of durable material that remains close to the body at all times (to avoid getting caught in the loose material).

2.3 Players shall remove jewellery and other articles likely to cause injury (e.g. watches, rings, bracelets etc.).

2.3.1 The umpire will assess and have the final say in whether wearing jewellery during the game presents a danger to any player.

2.3.2 If considered a danger, the item must either be removed or thoroughly covered with waterproof/resistant tape. If that is refused or not possible, the player will be excluded from the game. Refusal to do is dealt with under ‘16 Gross Misconduct/Dangerous Play’.

2.4 Players must wear flippers with the extended fin component not to exceed 30 centimetres beyond the players toe line.

2.4.1 If the umpire determines that a player is not wearing fins or non-regulation size fins, the umpire will stop play and direct the player to leave the pool via the substitution area and that player may not return until he/she is wearing the appropriate fins.

2.4.2 Should a player be sent off in this manner, the player may be substituted if a substitute is available for that team.

2.4.3 Once the player has left the pool, the umpire will signal ‘play on’ from the situation in which play was stopped (ball possession does not change).

2.4.4 An exception may apply if a player cannot wear fins due to a medical reason (sprained ankle, etc.), which will need to be pre-approved by at least one of the umpires for the relevant game.

About Water Basketball Tasmania
Water Basketball is a sport developed by The Hobart Aquatic Centre. It involves two teams of 6 players, who pass the ball down the pool to their goal end, which is a hoop similar to basketball. Each player wears flippers (and a cap to identify which team they are playing for). Goals are scored as two or three points depending how far from the goals you are.
