As I have already stated women have a team entered as well as other teams have women in them. They will not be playing contact games as per other years.

Just in case your thinking of contacting her again bear in mind the reply is likely to be a bit grumpy as it bordered on it in her reply to me. She felt she had already made it clear to us.

Yes
I think the old Bastards are looking for a goalie and you would be welcome though I will check 2morow (thursday training) and confirm. Also The womens team and other women are playing in the tournament so that means the beasts can enter a team (not meaning your’e a bunch of women). The final is full contact, the prelims are centre ice contact. That said the tournament is played in a “sportsmanlike” conduct meaning that the non-contact teams are not going to be smashed, just like previous years. This tournament is good fun and worth attending

Whats said in the rules and what actually happens are two different things. Every year Ive played (4) all elimination rounds and semi finals have been agreed before the game that it was to be non-checking or checking. Otherwise the tournament would be reduced down to 3 teams and one of them would be the stampede so it wouldnt fly!. Even the queenstown team were happy playing non-checking. Beasts should enter a team cause its a good fun tournament to go to.
