TEAM ENTRIES

  • We have 19 provincial teams, comprising 265 players and an invitational team per day to balance the matches.

TOURNAMENT LEVY

Each Provincial team was to pay a non-refundable Registration Deposit of R1000.00 per team to SGGMHA by 9 February 2024. Where deposits have been paid, this should be deducted from the total amount payable.

  • The Tournament Levy has been approved at R 690.00 per player and R 250.00 per non-playing managers/coaches (including dinner) and is due by 13 March 2024. 
  • Unfortunately, the withdrawal of teams and non-paying invitational teams has meant a higher cost per player than envisaged. The cost of the Saturday evening dinner is included.
  • Spouses and other supporters/guests attending the final dinner need to pay R 250.00 to attend the dinner. 
  • Costs include:
    • Field hire, medical facilities, umpires, tech bench, balls, air horns, LOC venue managers, security, dinner, music, power, waste, cleaning, etc.

Reminder re 2024 WC registration date

Below please find an important update and revision of the registration date for the Cape Town 2024 Masters Hockey World Cup.

It is essential that all Provincial players, some of whom may not have, as yet, registered for the 2024 WC.

Those who have not registered have two months to do so.

To those who have registered I have confirmed by email their registration.

Another email will be sent towards the end of October confirming those who register during October.

Revision of Players Registration date

This is an update on an important date regarding the 2024 Cape Town World Cup.

You may recall that in Newsletter 3 it was pointed out that those players who were interested in participating in Cape Town Masters World Cup 2024, in age groups 65 to 80, are required to access and complete the APPLICATION LINK B in that newsletter.

The original player registration deadline was 31 January 2024 and the commitment fee of R500.00 was to be paid to SAGMH bank account no later than 31 January 2024.

It is important to note that we are required to register our RSA teams for the Cape Town World Cup with World Masters Hockey by the 29th February 2024.

A payment amount of R19,200.00 per team, must accompany this registration.

Knowing this requires us to firm up the number of teams we are going to register for the World Cup 2024; information which is derived from player registration on the registration links explained and provided in the Newsletter Number 3, link copied below for convenience.

APPLICATION LINK B TO REGISTER FOR Cape Town World Cup 2024 https://forms.gle/a6Pb3Rbi8EEBrygx5

To date the players who have registered for the Cape Town World Cup, per team number:

  • +65: 32 players
  • +70: 21 players
  • +75: 15 players
  • Total : 68 players

If these numbers increase we may be able to field two +65 teams.

For this reason and to meet the requirement to register our teams with World Masters  our player registration closing date is being  brought forward to 30th November 2023.

Those players who have not registered thus far therefore have October and November to decide if they wish to be considered for selection.

To this end I am also attaching the 3rd Newsletter which has the player registration link and other information you may find useful circulating.

A 4th Newsletter will be published in October 2023.

Please communicate this revised date to all your players thereby giving them a reminder and a “heads up” on the earlier FINAL registration date: 30th November 2023

The commitment fee of R500.00 remains to be affected and reflected in the SAGMHA bank account no later than 31 January 2024.

SAGMHA Newsletter No 3 of 2023

As the year moves on, we are getting closer to the African Masters Invitational Series and of course the 2024 Masters World Cups.

You have already received 2 “Grandmasters” newsletters from Barry and me this year.

We have also circulated SA Masters Newsletters when they have been sent to us.

Below please find our 2023 3rd Grandmasters Newsletter.

Once you read the newsletter you will notice that players have two options to consider when registering for either of these two tournaments or for both of them.

There are two links to use for REGISTRATION for either or both the African Cup or the 2024 World Cup.

Please distribute this newsletter to all of your players/members and request that they give it careful consideration and complete the links.

Please encourage your players to read the newsletter fully before going back to the links to make their choice/s.

We look forward to a positive and enthusiastic response.

Thank you for your assistance in distributing this email and its newsletter.

Kind regards

Rob
