Can I Play For CIRLYQ And Another QPICC Nation In 1 Year?

CIRLYQ and other QPICC nations encourage, promote and stipulate that players commit to 1 nation.

Approved Transfer Clearance is Required from Nations Leaders before Trials tournament.

If a player is of multiple ancestral backgrounds (eg. 1/2 Samoan and 1/2 Tongan or 1/2 Samoan, 1/4 Tongan and 1/2 Cook Island), that player must commit to 1 nation for that year.

The player can select the other Nation the following year.

How Much Is The Fee for this year?

Due to current financial climate, we estimate costs to be between $195 to $215 per player.​

The levy also helps toward the off-field costs:

Insurance. Strapping tape and snacks for players at the Tri Series and QPICC.

Are Players Covered By Insurance?

Yes. CIRLYQ is sanctioned by the QRL, and players are covered by A.J Gallagher.

  • Players MUST BE REGISTERED WITH a QRL affiliated Club.
  • If players ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH a Club, insurance fee ($60) will be added to their levy.
  • The CIRLYQ insurance cover is the same as all current QRL clubs in a QRL competition.

 

Will There Be Added Costs?

Yes.

The CIRLYQ Exec Team will inform families if there are added costs.

All added costs will be only to support players. 

Can I Get A Refund?

THIS IS TO BE DISCUSSED INDIVIDUALLY with the EXECUTIVE TEAM.

Once CIRLYQ have ordered the apparel, refunds are ONLY available pending each individual case under strict conditions.

If the Queensland or Australian governments cancel sporting events or gatherings that do not allow for ALL families to attend due to Covid related concerns or weather does not allow the carnival to continue, this is out of CIRLYQ control, and we cannot refund players.

When Does The Season Start?
