Australian 2022 National Championships

January 30, 2022 by

AUFQ in consultation with UHA and AUF made the decision to delay the 2022 Australian National Championships. The competition will now take place from the 4th to 9th July.

The reasons for this decision were as follows:

  • Limited team registrations per division
  • WA border restrictions have been extended and may not open until past the current comp date;
  • COVID 19 – associated risk to the tournament should any team be taken out by the impacts of Covid or the rules around close contacts of a positive case.

AUFQ, UHA and the AUF hope that delaying the 2022 Australian National Championships until July will achieve the following:

  • Facilitate WA state team inclusion across divisions;
  • Provide a more stable and understood tournament environment in consideration of COVID 19.
  • Increase the likelihood of additional teams across divisions (inter-state/overseas). 

Updates about the competition are posted on 2022 Australian National Championships Facebook page.

Should you have any questions please contact AUFQ Organisers uwhnationals2022@gmail.com or the UHA Tournament Director (Stewart Parkinson) via email or mobile.

A updated information pack and important dates will soon follow.
