  • applications nominating clubs, groups or other entities which are ineligible under these terms & conditions;
  • applications where the Nominated club/team does not, if and when contacted by the Promoter, agree to participate in the process on the basis of these terms & conditions, and any applicable requirements of the Promoter;

The promoters will verify all applications prior to making any award, including (but not limited to) establishing the eligibility and authority of the person submitting the application and the eligibility of the Nominated club/team.
