School entry details

Number of teams

Team A

Where a school is entering two teams, they must choose nicknames like the "Swans" and the "Giants" to distinguish them. Schools only entering one team are also invited to chose a nickname that will appear on the draws. We'll add your school's name to this nickname and you'll be called the "Sydneyville Public Somethings" on the draw. Enter the nickname in the field above, and if you'd like to change it once you've consulted your students, just email us with the new one later.
