1.0 About the Program

1.1 Introduction
This manual has been developed to ensure that as the College Sport
Representative, you have all of the available information at your
fingertips at all times. This document is designed to encourage you to
contact the UQ Sport competitions team for clarification if there is
something that is not in this manual. If you are unsure of a particular
matter, please contact UQ Sport
([email protected]) to ensure clarification on any
matter.
UQ Sport is committed to ensuring that the ICC College Sport

Competition continues to grow in stature and to ensure the delivery of
a high quality, professionally administered and safe program. A heavy
reliance on the program’s success lies with each of you as the College
Sport Representative.
Due to the varying sports contested within the College Sport

Competition, this manual has been produced to clearly outline the
requirements for each sport. All sports require a varying number of
players to be nominated and are officiated under different guidelines.
For the most part, these guidelines are set by the
internationals/national/state sporting organisation. There are some
variations added for differing reasons, including safety, game times
and draw issues.
UQ Sport and the Heads of College have also developed policies to

aid in the professional conduct and administration of the College Sport
Program. Policies relate to alcohol at events, game forfeitures, safety
guidelines for each sport, and student behaviour.
This manual outlines each sport and the subsequent requirements for
those sports. These requirements include the number of players to be
nominated, rules governing the sport, events to be competed in, first
aid standards, volunteer requirements and any exceptions to the sport
specific rules.
The Forfeit, Game Change and Failure to Attend policies, along with
the Alcohol Policy, and ICC Code of Conduct Breaches and Penalties
policy are also clearly outlined. Breaches of these policies can result
in a loss of points, financial penalty, and/or suspension from attending
College events.
All the relevant sporting information needed for College Sport
Representatives is contained within this document.

The above sports represent the agreed sports that may be played in
any year. Those sports denoted with an asterisk * currently represent
sports that are played on a rotational basis, pending the year. For a
complete list of the 2024 sports to be contested, please refer to
appendix 8.3, page 103.
All parties to the ICC competitions understand that gender diversity

refers to a diverse range of gender expressions and identities. Anyone
can compete in ICC events in a manner which best reflects their
gender identity. Whilst we acknowledge that we have work to do in this
space and will consult with applicable organisations (e.g. National
Sporting Organisations, Pride in Sport etc) to improve our
understandings, systems and processes, at this time participants who
identify as non-binary are able to compete in the gender competition
they feel aligns best with their status.
The point’s allocations for both competitions are shown in the table
below.
Men Women
1st 8 9
2nd 7 8
3rd 6 7
4th 5 6
5th 4 5
6th 3 4
7th 2 3
8th 1 2
9th N/A 1
Game Format
The ICC sports are played in a round robin format, with fixtures
resulting in a 3-2-1 system (3 points for a win; 2 for a draw; 0 for a loss
/ Bye). If there is a forfeit, the winning team will be allocated 3 points
and the losing team will be allocated 0 points.
The exceptions being Athletics, Rowing and Swimming; for which

points are recorded based on individual positions. Once the points are
compiled within an event, competition points are allocated to each
College based on their position in that event.
Extra Time for Draws
No extra time will be played in any fixtures, so if at the end of the

allocated time of play, the score is a draw, then this will be the result
recorded, and points applied accordingly.
Allocation of Points
After the completion of all fixtures / events for each sport, the College’s
overall position on the ladder will determine their allocation of ICC
points.
Finalising Positions on the Ladder
If there is a tie in points on the competition ladder for that sport after
all games in a sport have been played, the following procedures will
be used to rank the Colleges:
1. The team with the higher score difference (For/Against) will
be awarded the higher position.
2. If the score difference is tied, the result of the game between
the two (2) tied Colleges will determine positioning.
3. If the result of the game was a draw, the Colleges shall tie
for the respective position.
If there is a tie between 3 or more Colleges, the for/against in the
games involving the Colleges that tied will be used as a tie breaker
(See example below). If there is still a tie after calculating the score
difference the Colleges shall tie for the respective position.
Examples
Grace College, Union College, and Duchesne College all finished on

15 points in the Badminton Competition. Grace beat Union 3-0; Union
beat Duchesne 2-1; Duchesne beat Grace 2-1. Grace has a score
difference of +2; Union has a score difference of -2; Duchesne have a
score difference of 0. In this scenario, Grace finish higher on the ladder
than Duchesne and Union as they have the highest score difference,
Duchesne would take the next position, followed by Union.
In the event that after all the above considerations have taken place
there is still a tie on the final competition ladder, then the positions’
points the Colleges would ordinarily occupy are averaged out and
each College is allocated accordingly.
Example
After taking into consideration points 1-3 above to determine

finishing positions on the sports competition ladder, Duchesne
and Grace are still tied for 2nd place. Therefore, they occupy
the 2nd and 3rd position points. 2nd place is worth 8 points and
3rd place is worth 7 points.
To work out the average it is simply (8 + 7) / 2 = 7.5.
Therefore, both Colleges would receive 7.5 points for

coming equal second.
In the event of Swimming, Athletics, Rowing the above example is

used to allocate final ICC points.
Eg: If at the end of the Swimming competition that King’s and Leo’s
both finished the event with 18 points, taking out 1 st and 2nd place on
the ladder, they will share the overall ICC points for their placings
equally (ie. each College will each receive 7.5 ICC points [(8+7)/2])
with the next highest College taking third place, and 6 ICC points.
All sports are counted towards ICC points, however only the top 10
sports for each college will contribute points towards the Overall ICC
Cups.
If there is a tie after the top 10 Sports have been calculated, these
two colleges will share the overall cup. For example, in 2018, both
King’s College and St John’s College finished the overall ICC
sporting competition on 79 points each, so the Overall Cup was
shared that year.
If a College doesn’t participate in a sport, they will be allocated 0
points.
If a College combines a team (eg. Grace and IH combine to create

one female soccer team) then those Colleges equally each get the
allocation of the final ICC points allocation for that sport. The
number of players per College to comprise the combined team is not
applicable.
Example
Grace and IH combine to form one women’s soccer team

that comprises women from both Colleges. At the end of the
women’s soccer competition, the combined team finishes in
4th position on the ladder. Fourth position on the ladder
equates to 6 ICC points, so both Grace and IH receive 6
points each. If IH have more players in the team than Grace,
both Colleges still each get the allocation of the final ICC
points equally.

3.0 College Sport Online
Nomination Procedure
All College Sport nominations are done online. As such, it is important
to outline the procedures through which you may nominate students
from your College.
The nomination procedure requires a few important factors to be

confirmed by a number of parties.
1. All nominated students must be members of your College –
associates or past college students are not permitted to play.
2. Ensure that you nominate the required number of students
and no more, unless this has been approved by the
Competitions Coordinator, in consultation with the ICC SSC.
If any of the aforementioned requirements have been breached by a

College during a game, said College shall forfeit the game in question
and will be issued a fine.
All the above requirements must be met in order for the nominations
to be approved. The nominations are then forwarded to your Head of
College for final approval.
Throughout the year, you may receive emails from the Competitions
Coordinator in regards to nominations and deadlines. It is up to the
College Sport Representative to make sure these are entered on time.
Failure to submit nominations within the required time are grounds for:
• Financial Penalty
• Game Forfeiture
• Deduction of competition or ICC points
Nominations for all sports are due seven (7) days prior to a given
event, though earlier submissions greatly assist in the competition
organisation. The only exception to this is for Rowing where
nominations are required nine (9) days prior. All nomination periods
are stated within this manual, however College Sport Representative’s
should also consult the ICC Calendar when coordinating training times
and be prepared to nominate a few weeks in advance.
The link for all online nominations can be found at the following link -

are students at your College.
• Finally, if you are approved extra nominations by the

Competitions Coordinator, due to injury, illness or extenuating
circumstances, please email the students details (Full name,
date of birth, and student number) to
[email protected]. DO NOT email for
normal nominations and without prior consultation with the
Competitions Coordinator.

4.0 Policies and Procedures

4.1 Overview
UQ Sport in conjunction with the Heads of College has devised several
policies to aid in the conduct and administration of the program. The
College Sport Code of Conduct must be adhered to at all times. This
policy relates to the behaviour of College Sport participants,
spectators, coaches and officials. Breaches of this and any other
policies can result in disciplinary action.
The Alcohol Policy is designed to meet the following objectives:

• To ensure the safe and professional conduct of all ICC events
• To ensure the UQ Alcohol Policy is adhered to
• To minimise alcohol related incidents and harm to the
individual participants
• To minimise alcohol related incidents and harm to spectators
and general community
• To minimise alcohol related damage to property
• To improve and preserve the reputation of Colleges, College
Sport and the University of Queensland to people in the
general community.
The Forfeit, Failure to Attend and Game Change Policy is designed to

meet the following objectives:
• To ensure that College teams attend games that have been
scheduled
• To ensure that any changes to draws are carried out so ample
notice can be given to opponents and officials
• To minimise forfeits of organised games
• To ensure that bookings can be cancelled in the event of
changes
• To improve the reputation of Colleges, College Sport and the
University of Queensland to people in the general community.
The Interrupted Play Guidelines are designed to clarify how points

may be allocated in the event when games may be interrupted due to
weather or other unforeseen/unavoidable circumstances.
All policies and guidelines are included within this manual and must
be read and adhered to. It is your job as College Sport
Representatives to ensure that these policies and procedures are
adhered to, or the outlined disciplinary action will be enforced. Please
ensure that you make each sports convenor aware of the policy and
subsequent disciplinary actions.
4.2 Booking Policy

Colleges may use facilities managed by UQ Sport but must be in
accordance with the guidelines listed below.
• Hire as part of your Training Allocations is included in the

College Sport Fee. Additional bookings outside the training
allocation schedule are charged out at a significantly
discounted rate for UQ Colleges. Refer to Item 2.1 for Facility
Terms and prices etc. For night trainings, lights will not go on
unless you have booked the oval.
• All other UQ Sport Venues that are “Centre Managed”
(Fitness, Aquatic, Athletics and Tennis Centre) will need to be
booked and hired at the College rate.
4.3 College Sport Alcohol Policy
A. Objectives
This policy is designed to meet the following objectives:
• to ensure the safe and professional conduct of all ICC Sport,

Cultural, and Community events
• to ensure the UQ Alcohol Policy is adhered to
• to minimise alcohol related incidents and harm to the
individual participants
• to minimise alcohol related incidents and harm to spectators
and general community
• to minimise alcohol related damage to property
• to improve and preserve the reputation of Colleges, ICC
events and the University of Queensland to people in the
general community.
B. Introduction
To assist in the achievement of the above objectives, UQ Sport and

the Heads of Colleges have established a number of specific
guidelines relating to the use or consumption of alcohol by any
member involved in an ICC event. It is vital that strict guidelines are
put in place to ensure that any ICC event is not marred by impaired
and/or unsafe performances, or negatively affected from unruly
behavior related to the consumption of liquor.
C. Guidelines on the Use of Alcohol
{i} Participant involvement
No participants will be permitted to compete in any ICC event if he/she

is consuming alcohol or is suffering the effects of alcohol. Any such
person/s will be asked to leave the venue through the captain,
convenor, or relevant student or staff representative of that college.
Refusal to cooperate by either the captain, convenor, student
representative or participant will result in immediate expulsion of that
College from the game / event and may also result in disciplinary
action against the individual.
Further disciplinary action may be taken if deemed appropriate by the

relevant committee. Should such an incident occur, an official written
complaint from the convenor employed by UQ Sport for that event
must be forwarded to the relevant committee. The submissions and
complaints will then be reviewed for further disciplinary action. This
may include but is not limited to:
• expulsion of that participant from the remainder of the

competition
• expulsion of the team / performance from that sport / event
• deduction of points from the College for that game
• deduction of points from the College from the overall
standings of that event
The relevant ICC committee will hand down this decision and that
particular decision is final.
{ii} Spectator involvement
No spectators within the immediate “playing / performing arena” will

be permitted to consume alcohol while an ICC event is under
progress. Should a spectator be suspected of consuming alcohol or
suffering the obvious effects of alcohol in this area, the person/s will
be asked to leave through the relevant college representative.
Refusal to cooperate by either party will result in immediate expulsion

of that team from the game and possible disciplinary action against
the individual. It is the responsibility of each Colleges
representatives to ensure that all competitors, performers, and
spectators are made aware of the standard of behaviour expected at
ICC events.
Further disciplinary action may be taken if so desired by the relevant

ICC Sub Committee upon receipt of an official written complaint from
either the convenor employed by UQ Sport for that event,
referees/umpires, or competing Colleges. The submissions and
complaints will then be reviewed by the relevant Committee for further
disciplinary action. This may include, but is not limited to:
• Banning of that spectator from other ICC events

• Expulsion of the College from that particular event
• Deduction of points from the College for that particular game
/ performance
• Deduction of points from the College from the overall
standings of that event
Any College failing to comply with the ICC Alcohol Policy will be
investigated and disciplined by the relevant committee as it sees
fit. These decisions will be determined by the relevant committee
and are final.
NOTE:
*The playing / performing arena is the area including the playing /
performing surface as well as any areas in which spectators could
view the event.
4.4 Forfeit and Schedule Change Policy
This policy is designed to meet the following objectives:
• To ensure that College teams attend their scheduled games /

performances
• To minimise forfeits of organised events
• To ensure bookings can be amended / cancelled in the event
of forfeits
• To improve the reputation of Colleges, The ICC Competitions,
and the University of Queensland to people in the general
community.
To assist in the achievement of these objectives, UQ Sport and the

Heads of Colleges have established a number of specific guidelines
relating to forfeiting, failing to attend or changing specific
game/performance times by Colleges. It is vital that strict guidelines
are put in place to ensure that any events are not interrupted due to
forfeits or failure to attend.
The following guidelines outline procedures for changing

game/performance times, forfeiting and failing to attend and outline
disciplinary action for any breach of these guidelines. This applies to
all ICC events.
i. CHANGING GAMES/PERFORMANCE TIMES IN

SCHEDULED DRAWS
Prior to the beginning of the College Sport and Cultural competitions,
UQ Sport will create draws and schedules, and publish them on the
UQ Sport website. Once the schedules have been published, no
changes will be made to the draws and no time changes will be
accepted.
The only exception to this will be if a College was scheduled to play a
game/perform on the date of their Ball or Recovery in error. Should a
College be scheduled to play a game/perform on the day of their ball
or Recovery, UQ Sport will make changes to the relevant schedule/s
and update all Colleges ASAP. Note: the College affected can only
select one day (ie. Ball date or Recovery Date) where fixtures may be
amended. Pending facility availability, every effort will be made to
accommodate the request, but UQ Sport reserves the right to
reasonably refuse.
ii. FORFEITING OR FAILING TO ATTEND IN THE

SCHEDULED DRAW:
If a College fails to arrive at a scheduled game/performance after 10
minutes of the scheduled start time, a forfeit will be called.
Should a College need to forfeit or not be able to attend a scheduled

match/performance, UQ Sport must be informed as soon as possible
prior to the scheduled event. Depending on the notice provided, the
following disciplinary actions may be applied.
• The forfeiting College will be invoiced for costs associated

with the competition as per the 3-tier policy
• Deduction of points from that particular competition and/or
from overall ICC Sport or Cultural standings
The following 3 tier policy will be in place for any forfeitures in the 2024
College Sport and Cultural competitions:
• Tier 1: The offending College will be issued a fine of $50 plus

any charges already incurred after notifying UQ Sport that
they will be forfeiting their game/performance within 72 hours
of the scheduled starting time.

any charges already incurred after notifying UQ Sport that
they will be forfeiting their game/performance within 24 hours
of the scheduled starting time.

any charges already incurred after:
o Notifying UQ Sport that they will be forfeiting the day

of the game/performance OR;
o Failing to notify UQ Sport that they will be forfeiting
their game/performance
If UQ Sport is provided with more than 72 hours’ notice of a forfeit, the

offending College will not be issued with a fine.
Example 1 – Women’s College contact UQ Sport within 72

hours of their scheduled soccer match, indicating that they will
have to forfeit their match. In this situation a Tier 1 forfeit
breach may be imposed.
Example 2 – Union College have advised UQ Sport within 24

hours of their scheduled debating match, indicating that they
will have to forfeit their match. In this situation a Tier 2 forfeit
breach may be imposed.
Example 3 – International House have not shown up for their

scheduled netball match, with all officials and the opposition
team present, and have not contacted UQ Sport indicating
they will not be attending the match. In this situation a Tier 3
forfeit breach may be imposed.
The money from each forfeit fine, less the charges already incurred
shall be put towards the end of year presentation night.
The Competitions Coordinator will review each situation and liaise with
the relevant committee on a suitable penalty for any infringement. The
decision made by that committee will be final and any invoices will be
binding and must be paid by Colleges.
Any College failing to comply with this policy will be investigated

and disciplined by the Competitions Coordinator and the relevant
committee as deemed appropriate. These decisions will be
determined by the Competitions Coordinator and the relevant
committee and are FINAL.

i. BREACHES AND RELEVANT PENALTIES
a) Breaches the ICC Code of Conduct
Introduction
The Inter-college Council (ICC) is an association incorporated

pursuant to the Associations Incorporations Act (1981). The ICC’s
membership consists of students who reside at each of the ten
residential colleges at The University of Queensland (UQ). Each of the
UQ residential college’s Students’ Club, excepting Union College
whose Head of College appoints a representative, annually
contributes one elected office-bearer to administer an ICC portfolio. In
collaboration with the Heads of Colleges who have ICC constitutional
visitors’ rights, elected ICC representatives exercise ICC rights and
responsibilities in their year of election.
At all times, the ICC’s Aims and Objectives complement those of The
University of Queensland’s Students’ Union (UQU) and of University
of Queensland Sport (UQ Sport),and are informed by the ICC Values
Statement.
ICC Values are:
• Respect: encourage diversity through ideas, individuality and

culture. This creates a vibrant and inclusive environment
where respect is granted to the individual, college property
and leadership across all levels;
• Community – Through teamwork and communication,
members are committed to fostering a forward thinking
community where all opinions and ideas are shared freely;
• Integrity – Act with a sincere moral conscience to ensure
transparency and accountability of actions.
Purpose
The Inter College Council, UQ Sport and the ten residential colleges
at UQ are committed to ensuring that the ICC Competition
environment is safe, respectful and free from all forms of harassment,
and that students acknowledge their understanding that they and/or
their team and /or their Student Club will face disciplinary
action/penalties for any breaches noted in the ICC Code of Conduct
Breaches and Penalties Table and/or within:
• Individual College’s Code of Conduct Policy

• UQ Sport Code of Conduct Policy
• ICC Cultural Code of Conduct Policy
• ICC Community Code of Conduct Policy
Scope
This policy outlines the overarching principles governing the approach

to addressing any breaches of behaviour by a participant or spectator
- who is a member of a UQ residential college’s Student Club or a
resident of Union College - at any ICC Sport, ICC Culture or ICC
Community activity, which is inconsistent with the values of the ICC
Values Statement.
Reporting of Breach / Handling of Complaints
Reporting of any breach/complaint must be reported to UQ Sport

following the ICC Competitions Grievance & Complaint Handling Flow
Chart:
Note: matters may also be referred to UQ Security, The
University of Queensland or the Police, and would be subject to
their processes and consequences.
Note: Should the consequence of a breach involve the issue of

any monetary fines, the residual amount after UQ Sport covers
any direct costs involved will be allocated towards the End of
Year presentation night.
While fines remain unpaid, no further ICC points can be

accumulated by that College.

4.8 Insurance
Claims Procedure
To make a re-imbursement claim for medical expenses, please

contact the UQ Sport Competitions Coordinator
([email protected]) as soon as possible.
Students who have been injured at a College Sport or Cultural
Competition must have filled out an Incident Report Form at the time
they were injured to make an insurance claim. Students who did not
fill out an Incident Report Form can fill one out after-the-fact, however,
all details must be written as if the injury just occurred.
From 2024, all Incident Report Forms are electronic. Contact the
Convenor to complete one on the day or the Competitions Coordinator
for any reports after the date of the injury.
Please note that the Health Insurance Act (Cth) 1973 does not permit
the Insurer to contribute to any Medical Expenses covered (whether
fully or partly) by Medicare (“the Medicare Gap”).
Correct completion of these forms will assist us to make accurate and

faster decisions regarding our customers’ claim for benefits and
ensure that where benefits are payable, they reach our customers in
a timely manner. Incomplete claim forms will be returned for
completion, leading to assessment delays.
To enquire further please email [email protected]
4.9 Interrupted Competition Guidelines

The Interrupted Competitions Guidelines are designed to inform you
of the process and outcomes in the event a fixture(s) or event cannot
be commenced or completed.
Competition may be interrupted in a number of ways that may include,

but is not limited to:
• Weather events or potential weather events;
• Serious injury to a participant, official or spectator and it is
deemed unsafe to continue;
• Operational issue (fault with lights, other venue issues,
ambulance not in attendance at applicable events, on site risk
assessment deems the environment is not suitable for
competition);
• Inappropriate behaviour by a participant(s), official(s) or
spectator(s) and it is deemed unsafe to continue.
Interrupted sporting fixtures are not to be replayed. No spare dates
have been allocated in the 2024 calendar with the exception of two
standalone events: swimming and athletics.
In the case of interrupted sporting fixtures, all teams scheduled to play

a fixture across the same round will be allocated the same points as
allocated to a drawn result (0-0) . No points will be allocated to a team
which has been scheduled a bye in the ‘interrupted’ round.
Interrupted cultural events may be re-scheduled pending a decision

from the ICC Cultural Committee and/or Heads of College, however
no spare dates have been allocated in the 2024 calendar, and re-
scheduling may be subject to venue/adjudicator availability. Decisions
on re-scheduling Cultural events will be made if and when required.
Example:
A Netball game between Cromwell and Grace College has been
cancelled due to the rain, all other games that round were played
in full, and King’s were allocated a bye. King’s will get 0 points
for the bye and all other teams in the round will receive the
competition points allocated for a draw and the scores recorded
as 0-0 draw. This competition will count towards the ICC Points
Table.
In the unlikely event that multiple rounds are interrupted, a decision on

whether the sport will count for ICC points will be made by the ICC
Sports Committee/Heads of College.
Last approval date: 19 January 2024

7.0 Sport Rules & Emergency

Clause
Emergency Clause
As seen in 2020 and 2021 with the COVID-19 pandemic, the formats
of how College Sport is played may be forced to change to align with
government restrictions and regulations.
In the case of a local, national, or international pandemic (such as
COVID-19), or in case of a general emergency where any number of
sports may be impacted, UQ Sport, all Colleges, and the College Sport
Competition will be guided by any and all restrictions put in place by
the Queensland Government, as well as The University of
Queensland.
In the event where any number of sports are forced to be suspended

for any reason, UQ Sport will contact all Heads of College for their
feedback and preference on the resumption of the competition. UQ
Sport may also provide options or examples for how the competition
can be resumed.
Once the Colleges have provided feedback to UQ Sport, any

necessary changes to schedules and calendar dates will be made and
communicated to College Heads and Sport Representatives as soon
as possible.
Due to venue availability, sports may be required to be sorted into a

pools format. In the event of a pools format, Colleges will be sorted
into pools depending on where they placed in the year prior. For
example, Colleges placed 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th in 2021 will be placed
in Pool A for 2022 and Colleges placed 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th in 2021 will
be placed in Pool B for 2022.
The above pool allocations are subject to change. If a competition

starts in a round robin format and is interrupted due to an emergency
which forces a format change, the allocations may differ slightly.
In a pools format, each College will play everyone in their pool once.
After the pool games are completed, each College will play 1 finals /
crossover game to finish the competition.
The finals round for any sports played in pools shall be as follows:
1st/2nd – 1st Pool A vs. 1st Pool B

3rd/4th – 2nd Pool A vs. 2nd Pool B
5th/6th – 3rd Pool A vs. 3rd Pool B
7th/8th – 4th Pool A vs. 4th Pool B
In the case of pools having an uneven amount of teams, whichever

team places last in the pool with more teams will not play a final game.
If there is a draw at the end of any finals games, an overtime period

shall be played to determine a winner.
In the event the Emergency Clause is invoked and we move to a Pools

format, the overtime periods for each sport are:
Athletics, Rowing, Swimming – N/A

AFL – 2 x 5-minute periods with teams swapping ends at the end of
each period
Badminton – Play continues until a College wins by 2 points
Basketball – 1 x 5-minute period
Cricket – 1 x super over for each College
Hockey – Penalty shootout
Netball – 2 x 3-minute periods with teams swapping ends at the end
of each period
Men’s Rugby Union – 1 x 10-minute golden point period
Women’s Rugby 7s – 1 x 5-minute golden point period
Soccer – Penalty shootout

2. For the ICC Regatta, the ICC must provide the following oars,
and it will be the ICC’s responsibility to bring them to the regatta:
o Overall Men’s Oar
o Overall Women’s Oar
o Men’s VIII Oar
o Women’s First IV/VIII Oar
3. For Lead-Up Regattas, each hosting College must provide the
following oars for each gender applicable to their College, and it
will be the hosting Colleges responsibility to bring them to the
regatta:
o Overall Men’s Oar
o Overall Women’s Oar
o Men’s VIII Oar
o Women’s First IV/VIII Oar
For example:
St. John’s College, which has both male and female residents, will be
required to provide all four oars as outlined above. St Leo’s College,
which only has male residents, will only be required to provide the
Overall Men’s and Men’s VIII Oars.
4. For both Lead-Up and ICC Regattas, the Men’s and Women’s
Overall Oars will be awarded to the College with the highest point
score in the Men’s and Women’s competitions respectively. In the
case of a draw (if two or more Colleges have the same number of
points overall) the College that receives the Overall Oars will be
the College which received the highest placing in the Men’s First
VIII race and the Women’s First IV/VIII race.
For example:
If King’s College and St. Leo’s College tie for Men’s first place at the
conclusion of a regatta, but St. Leo’s came 2nd and King’s came 3rd in
the Men’s First VIII race, the Overall Oar will be awarded to St. Leo’s
College. If Duchesne College and Union College tie for Women’s first
place at the conclusion of a regatta, but Duchesne came 4th and Union
came 5th in the Women’s First IV race, the Overall Oar will be awarded
to Duchesne College.
5. For both Lead-Up and ICC Regattas, the Men’s VIII Oar and
Women’s First IV/VIII Oar will be awarded to the College that wins
the Men’s VIII and Women’s IV/VIII races – i.e. the fastest time in
the race. In the case of a draw (one or more crews finish in exactly
the same time), each oar will be awarded to the College with the
best result in the Men’s First IV and Women’s Second IV race. If
there was a draw in this race, the result of the Men’s Second IV
and Women’s Third IV race will be used, and so on until a winner
is determined.
6. Any College that has not hosted a regatta for two consecutive
years will have their Oars returned at the completion of the college
rowing season in that second year.
For example:
If Emmanuel College hosted a Lead-Up Regatta in 2011 but did not
host Lead-Up Regattas in 2012 & 2013, the Colleges that won the
Emmanuel College Oars in 2011 must return them to Emmanuel

8.0 Appendices
8.1 Customer Incident Reports
This Customer Incident Report form is used to report any injury,
illness, incident or near miss which occurs in a UQ Sport venue, or
which arises as a result of UQ Sport activities.
The form is designed to be used in any situation where an injury,
illness, incident or near miss has occurred.
In the case of fatalities, serious bodily injury, illness or a
dangerous event, after completing any emergency action
required, details of the accident must be provided without delay
to the Director of Occupational Health & Safety (Ext. 52365) and
the Chief Executive Officer of UQ Sport (3365 6612).
All Customer Incident Report Forms MUST be completed at game
time or at the time of the injury or incident.
All forms then need to be handed to the Competitions Coordinator
within 24 hours of the incident.
From 2024, Incident Report forms are digital and can be found here or
via the QR code on the following page.
8.2 Weighted Shields
The Weighted shields are currently calculated by the ICC points a
College earned divided by the total number of students at the College.
E.g. In 2019, St John’s Women ICC Points equalled 83 and they had
138 females at College. To calculate their percentage, the sum
would be as follows:
83 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
= 0.601
138 𝑆𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠
Please note that the awarding of the Weighted Shield may change in
2024 so that the overall ICC Cup winner cannot also win the Weighted
Shield. Once confirmed, update info will be circulated.
