  • An invitation should be extended to the President of the Regional Sub-Committee for the presentation of shields
  • Provision of practice facilities for the visiting team
  • Welcome to travelling schools
  • Rotation of positions of school teams at sporting venues with a mixing of Northern and Southern schools  Introduction between coaches and umpires
  • 1sts finals should commence where possible at 2.00 pm with 2nds finals starting sufficiently ealy to allow this to occur. Exceptions are Tennis which starts at 10.00 am and Australian Rules and perhaps Soccer which have set starting times acording to the availability of umpires and referees
  • Provision of public address system (where required)
  • Provision of scoring facilities and official scorers
  • Provision of half-time refreshments
  • Medical provision
  • Programme, including up-to-date Code of Ethics (see Clause 14 of the AHIST Code of Ethics, amended 12/8/2004)
  • Assurance that provision of venues for the Finals will ensure uninterrupted play for the appropriate length of time (this is particularly important where non-school venues are being used) Organisation and co-ordination of appropriate after-match 'get together' which may include more than one sport and possibly boys and girls. This co-ordination should perhaps be organised either through the Regional Sub-Committee of S.A.T.I.S. or between the host schools
  • Notification to travelling schools of intended after-match arrangements
  • Co-ordination of trophy collection and distribution to venues (trophies should be brought to the S.A.T.I.S. Meeting preceding the finals/carnival).
  • Notify media of events in advance to ensure coverage : provide the umpires/referees/officials with a copy of the relevant S.A.T.I.S. regulations prior to the competition.
  • State Final Lunches
  • The provision of lunches at SATIS Carnivals will, in future, be for officials officiating at the Carnivals, as well as Principals and SATIS Delegates. Schools may request of the organiser that extra lunches be provided. Any extra lunches requested will be charged to individual schools.
