Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between the Registration Fee and the Sports Fee?  The Registration fee goes towards the overal running costs of the Games and the Sports Fee goes direct to each sport to help in the running of each competition.
2. If I enter more than 1 sport do I have to pay 2 sports fees?    Yes, you must pay a sports fee for each of the sports you enter but only 1 registration fee.
3. If I'm part of a team, do I still need to register?  Yes, every team member needs to send in their details and pay registration and sport fees.  Teams can send in details all together.
4. If I have to pull out, do I get a refund?  Yes, if we receive written notification by September 15th that you must pull out of the Games, minus a $20 administration fee.
5. How much is the late fee and when does it take effect?    The Late Registration Fee is $75.00 and comes into effect on September 14th.
6. Who do I contact if I have questions about my sport?  The first point of call is always the sports coordinator.  Contact details are on the website under SPORTS.
7. What happens if I want to enter as a supporter?  A Supporter gets all the benefits of a fully registered participant except of course, they do not play!  This means receiving a registration pack and free entry to all social night events.  The Supporter fee is $35.00.
8. How can I become a VOLUNTEER at the Games?  Volunteers are always welcome.  Please contact Jill at  jill@specialevents.co.nz
9. Do netball teams have to supply their own umpires?  It's always preferable to supply your own umpire as umpires are hard to come by, but it's not compulsory.  Netball charges a fee of $250.00 if you do not provide an umpire.  
10. I missed my medal ceremony, how do I receive my medal?  Contact the sports coordinator.  Sometimes the sport coordinator will give the Games Management team a list of medals to be sent out to people who missed ceremonies.
11. I want to compete in swimming but am not a registered Masters Swimmer.  Does this matter?  Absolutely not.  Anyone can compete in the Masters Games as long as you fulfil the age criteria set by each sport.
