Wet Weather Update 20th August 2025 – Finals Planning and Contingencies

Thank you for your continued patience. We’d like to provide an important update regarding the remainder of the 2025 season and outline the steps moving forward.

1. Over 45’s Competition

• The washed-out round from last night will be played this weekend (Saturday 23rd or Sunday 24th August 2025) and followed by a two-week final’s series.
• If this weekend’s matches are also washed out, they will be rescheduled to Monday 25th August or Tuesday 26th August.
• Should those rescheduled matches also be washed out, results will be determined as per competition regulations, and the two-week finals series will begin on Saturday 30th or Sunday 31st August.

2. Saturday Teams – Field Availability

Please be advised that all Saturday teams, in the event of limited field availability, matches may be rescheduled to Sunday. Mid-week fixtures may also be considered as an alternative for all competitions not just those scheduled on a Saturday.

3. Washouts – 23rd/24th August

• If matches on the 23rd or 24th August are washed out, the competition will be pushed back to the 6th and 7th September. Those competitions scheduled for a 6^th and 7^th Grand Final (3 weeks series) being BPL, BDL, 14 Div 2, AAM 8, if round 1 of finals remain unplayed, will now become a 2-week finals Series.

4. Washouts – 30th/31st August

• The office will be sending out an email TODAY to each club participating in finals, requesting them to advise which teams may be able to play finals beyond the 6^th and 7^th September. When you receive this email, can you please consult the teams listed in the email and have a response back to the office no later than Monday 9am 25^th August 2025 to allow us to plan and prioritise competitions.

BDAFA are committed to providing a completed competition and four team finals series for our participants, we are however at the mercy of the weather. Therefore, we must table two last report options that we may need to action if we experience ongoing weather disruptions.

1. A 1^st v 2^nd Finals Series
2. Declaration of Premiers as the Champions of the competitions that we have been unable to complete.

Please Note: The above two options will only be implemented when all other options have been exhausted.

Thank you
