NSJTA Hot Weather Policy:

The NSJTA’s hot weather policy is covered under by-law 41 which states: 

a) On extremely hot days, the Match and Permit Committee may completely cancel competition for that day, and will place this decision on the NSJTA website at least one hour before the scheduled starting time. Otherwise, all teams must attend venues as usual. 

b) On hot days, the Home Court Supervisor must, every half-hour on the half-hour, ring the Bureau of Meteorology weather line 1196 and listen for the Tullamarine airport temperature. 

c) On Saturday mornings, play must immediately cease, including unfinished sets, if 35 degrees has been reached. 

d) On Friday evenings, play must not commence until the temperature had dropped to 35 degrees or below, and if this has not occurred by 8.00 p.m., matches will be cancelled.
