How to Nominate:

  • You can nominate to play with friends in a team or enter individually. EVERY player must complete a TSACT 2026 Team Carnival Nomination Entry Form.   Please note: the 2027 Team Carnival Nomination Entry Form will be available soon.
  • All players must have a Competitive Player Profile/activated UTR and be a financial member of TSACT. Head to our membership page to sign up!
  • Teams should have 4-8 players (6 is ideal) and be of a similar standard and within the same age group or one group younger. 
  • Players representing the ACT are required to wear the TSACT uniform. 
  • The 2027 entry fee is to be advised and will be payable when you submit the nomination entry form.  As a rough guide, the 2026 Teams Carnival fee was $130 per person. 
  • Entry closing dates for ACT nominations will be advised when the 2027 form is released.

Selection Process:

Team and individual nominations are submitted to the TSACT Grading Committee, which will determine final ACT team selections.  Individual entrants and nominated team captains will be consulted as required.  Please note: 

  • Given that the Teams Carnival competes against other States, priority will be given to selecting teams with ACT (and surrounding NSW) players of a similar standard and age group before inviting interstate players to join a team. 
  • The Grading Committee will strive to place individual entries into an ACT team of similar standards and age groups.  If this is not possible, then in consultation with you, a spot in a team from another state will be sought.   
  • If you choose to play for another State team, you must get clearance from TSACT, wear the TSACT uniform; complete and submit the relevant State entry form and pay the required State entry fee.
