JUNIOR BASKETBALL
Representative Player Rule – 2026 Winter COMP
1. Junior teams are restricted to a maximum of three (3) representative players per team.
1.1) A representative player is any player selected to represent the Bathurst Goldminers as a Div 1 or Div 2 player in the current Western Junior League (WJL) season.
Example: If a player has been selected to represent the Bathurst Goldminers or another equivalent representative team for the 2027 WJL season, they will be considered a representative player for the 26/27 Summer Comp & the 2027 Winter Comp.
1.2) Any player representing other associations in that season are also considered as a representative player in the Bathurst domestic competition.
1.3) Any player who has previously played for the Bathurst Goldminers or other representative associations, but are not participating in the current season, do not count as a representative player for that competition.
Example: If a player has been selected to represent the Bathurst Goldminers or another equivalent representative team for the 2027 WJL season, they will be considered a representative player for the 26/27 Summer Comp & the 2027 Winter Comp.
2. If any teams are wishing to play with more than 3 representative players in one team, that team must nominate in the age/group/division/school grade comp above.
Example: A) Goldminers U14 Boys (made up of players in Years 7 & 8) wishing to play as a team, must nominate to play in the Years 9 & 10 competition, if the total number of year 7 & 8 representative players exceeds 3.
3. A player from a younger age group playing up an age group/division/school grade comp above their own, will not count as a representative player.
Example: B) A team in the Years 7/8 competition have nominated with representative players from younger age groups/divisions/school grades (E.g Years 5 or 6), those younger players do not count towards the maximum 3 rep players for that age group and will be allowed to play.
