This information is valid for this weekend, unless restrictions from Basketball Victoria change. If this happens we will do everything we can to notify of any changes as soon as possible.

1. Grand Final Fixture changes
Due to the current restrictions we are unable to have presentations in separate areas at both venues. Therefore, presentations will be done on court after each game which will mean our time slots will be stretched out by another 10 minutes (𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲). All teams will not be able to enter their allocated court until 10 minutes prior to their game time, this is to assist in us staying under the current capacity limits.

2. Team Photos will be available
We will still have Sports In Focus attend each venue for teams to get photos. At Parade they will be located at the Bedford centre and at Community Bank Stadium they will be located upstairs.

3. Spectator Restrictions
We will only be allowing 2 spectators per player. Any children under the age of 12 will be exempt from this restriction.

This decision was made in anticipation of large numbers attending Grand Finals, so we need to ensure throughout the day that we will never go over the venue capacities.

For all Junior domestic games this weekend, the following still applies:

🏀 DVBA will be providing scorers for all finals games 🏀 All spectators including players must sign in using the QR code at each venue they attend; 🏀 Everyone over 12 years of age must wear a mask unless medically exempt. If they cannot wear a mask they must maintain 1.5m from all others in the venue at all times. Players, coaches and referees are exempt when on court participating in an exertive role but must wear a mask at other times, including entry and exit of the stadium; 🏀 Teams to exit the stadium, immediately after their game, through the exit indicated by referees or staff, to assist in staying under the 300 capacity restriction. 🏀 Where possible please arrive at the stadium no more than 15 minutes before games to assist in staying under capacity.
