Competition Information

The WA Open will be split into gender specific divisions with the highest-level being AAA, followed by AA and A divisions. The AAA Division will be capped at 16 teams. The top eight teams, as determined by seeding points, will receive automatic entry into the AAA Division. The remaining positions will be determined through a Qualification Tournament conducted on the Friday preceding the commencement of the WA Open.

If a team enters the Elite Division, is placed into the qualification tournament and is eliminated from the qualification tournament, they will automatically earn a place in the AA Division.

All teams will play across both days, with pool play on Saturday and finals on Sunday.

A Technical Meeting will be held at 6.10am, Scarborough Beach Amphitheatre. This is mandatory for at least one team member from each team to be present at.
