GENERAL INFO | Wellington United Extra Time Tournament
WHEN: Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September 2022
WHERE: Wakefield Park, Adelaide Rd
PARKING |
As you are likely aware, parking is pretty limited at Wakefield Park so teams are encouraged to carpool. There is a small parking lot at the north end as well as parks that flank Adelaide Road. The car park by the Turf will not be available as this is where we will have our Tournament HQ along with our food stalls.
Should anyone require an accessible car park, please contact us in advance and we will reserve space for you.
Please remind your team(s) to use caution when crossing Adelaide Road.
TEAM GAZEBOS & TENTS |
Teams wishing to set up gazebos/tents/marquees can do so on the grass at the far north end of Wakefield and also on the grass fields (obviously away from the playing area) but are prohibited on the turf.
No food or drink (except water) is allowed on the artificial turf at Wakefield Park as per the facility rules.
FOOD & FACILITIES |
A tasty sausage sizzle and cakes/lollies/drinks stall will be located near the caravan.
There will also be a coffee cart (yipee!!) and other food options available as well :)
Separate male and female toilets are available in the changing rooms.
Teams/clubs are expected to provide basic First Aid. There is a First Aid kit in the caravan if needed.
Bags with ice are available at the barbecue.

COACHES PACK |
The pack will include result cards which need to be returned to the caravan after each game. The home team coach will be responsible for recording the result and getting the initials of the visiting coach on the result card. The home team is the first team listed on the draw.
A participation ribbon for each player and individual ribbons for the team’s selection of Best Attacker, Best Defender and Fair Play awards will also be included in the pack.
Please note Pitch Layouts will not be included in your coaches pack.
These will be posted on the caravan and displayed by the entrances of the fields.
TOURNAMENT RULES |
Rules of the day are to follow the Capital Football Playing Regulations for each applicable grade. These can be found here.
Additional rules for the tournament:
To allow all grade level teams to enjoy the day, any games reaching an 8-goal lead will freeze the score and play the remainder of the game with mixed teams. If teams require bibs for this purpose, a set can be borrowed from the Caravan.
Game length:
Under 7 and Under 8 (Mixed and Girls Only) | 2 x 10min halves with 1min half time
All other grades (Mixed and Girls Only) | 2 x 12min halves with 1min half time
A horn will signal the start of the games only. The referee is responsible for the timings of the games and to allow teams to have a quick drink at half time.
It is expected that the Home Team will referee the first half of each game, and the Away team will referee the second half. The Home team is the first team listed on the draw.
Teams will gain 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and no points for a loss.
PRIZEGIVING |
Prizegiving for each grade will take place after the last games have been played.
Tournament medals will be awarded to the winners of each grade (and plate winners where team entries allow). There will also be a few spot prizes awarded (please let us know of any acts of sportsmanship!)
PAYMENT |
We do our very best to offer a fun and inclusive tournament environment at a very affordable rate for all at only $140 per team! In exchange we do ask that teams are fully paid up prior to their game day. Thank you to the majority of you for getting this sorted and/or reaching out :)
Many thanks,
WU Extra Time Team
