Hi Members, 

North Queensland Football has prepared 2 calendars for the 2020 Season. 

Option 1 is based on COVID-19 easing during the 2020 season and based on the weekend feedback from the Clubs and the majority requesting club football is finished by October 31.  

This option is based on the 100 person restriction being lifted by 22 August 2020.  

NOTES: 

Junior Rounds will be played on Saturdaysand Sundays, with Saturdaycommencing  from 8am andlast match commencing at 8.pm and Sunday commencing from 8am with last match commencing at 6pm , this allows for safe procedures and the park split into 3 locations. 

Saturday and Sunday rounds will continue until the weekend of 26-30th August unless Covid 19 restrictions are eased earlier. 

Commencing the weekend of 26-28th August, two different rounds 8 & 9 will be played on Saturday and Sunday. There are currently two other weekends that will  have different rounds played both on the Saturday and Sunday , rounds 11 & 12 on the weekend 9-13 September and rounds  14 & 15 on the weekend 7 –11 October. Double Rounds are  highlighted in Yellow. 

-Juniors will play the Saturday 19th September. They will then have off the Sunday and also the following week, and won’t be scheduled to play until Saturday 3 October – 13 days off.  

All Grand Finals are on the week of October 28-October 31  

Option 2 is based on restrictions not being lifted due to possible COVID second wave. If this is the case we have to continue running the fixtures across Saturday & Sunday as one round and will see the Grand Final on November 28.  

Please remember members given this is a pandemic, things are not normal, and we will make changes to the draw in the best interests of the majority of members. We will also make changes if requested by FFA/FQ for the TSP program within reason.  

For Competitive matches we will do our best to have groups playing at similar times and still with the C division played before B and A to allow children to play up where required.  

We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to strive to be able to provide a Football Season for all our Junior members. 

This advice is current as at 12th May 2020, as per Queensland State Government Health advice and conditions advised on the 8th May 2020 

Kind Regards 

Declan
