Category: Social Competition

This is the first part of a series explaining why we do things. It is certainly not required reading but hopefully of interest to our members and possibly helpful to other organisations

PPT has many aspects to it including its refereeing, juniors, women’s, and representative programs. However the main thing that we run and that most are familiar with is our week night social touch competition. There are many things that differentiate that competition from others. But one is very different to similar organisations, and that we are often asked to explain, is our attitude to fill ins (a fill in being anyone not on the team list)

Many other organisations encourage fill ins and have Facebook groups to make them easier. We discourage them and expect captains to minimise their use.

Why do we do this? Its probably best to start with our aims and circumstances.
