Each year the national championships are hosted by a state for each of the age groups. These are generally announced at the conclusion of the current years tournament.

No, in some age groups there are teams from New Zealand also competing

Most championship tournaments are held between the end of October and start of December. The exact schedule is determined by VCA and the host organisations.
As a player you need to consider if you are able to be away during this period and plan any leave needed.

Fees are set by the host organisation each tournament. There is a team registration and player registration component. These cover events such as welcoming & awards nights, also playing costs such as ground fees, umpires, balls & lunches.
These are charged directly to the WAVC who will collect payments per player via our payment system hosted on the Try Bookings website.

Most fixtures start on Sunday and end on Thursday. Teams will play 4 games with a rest day scheduled on Tuesday. Rain can often play a part meaning rest days are lost so be prepared to play 4 days straight.
