Eligibility: All Scottish Universities & Colleges with Netball clubs are invited to put their 1st team into the tournament. 2nd and 3rd teams will be considered by the organisers and will be informed if they are accepted. All 2nd teams will be considered before any 3rd team is considered.

Umpires: We ask that ALL teams bring a confident C umpire (or B umpire) with them to cover matches as no umpires will be provided by SS Netball.

Table officials must be provided by teams.

If you are having troubles getting an umpire/table officials please contact the Netball Chair ASAP
