2019-20 WBC Branch Premiership Series

BACKGROUND The South Barrier Branch Premiership Series was introduced in the season 2001-02 in an attempt to provide additional Surf Lifesaving competition experiences for South Barrier Branch members. This inaugural series (2001/02) focused on specified craft and water events only – Surf Boats, Surf Skis, Surf Boards and Surf Races, as well as a Lifesaver Relay. The inaugural Series was staged over three (3) rounds: Round 1 - Tannum Sands Round 2 - Agnes Water Round 3 - Yeppoon (Senior Branch Championships) 2002-03 SERIES For the 2002-03 season, the name of the Series was changed to the ‘2002-03 Surf Life Saving Wide Bay Capricorn Premiership Series’, due to the change of name of the Branch from South Barrier to Wide Bay Capricorn. The 2002-03 Series was expanded slightly from the successful 2001-02 Series, to include the following:

1. Four (4) Rounds of competition; 2. Beach Events included; and 3. An U15 Cameron Relay included.

The format of the Carnivals during the 2002-03 Series remained the same with competition conducted on Saturdays (except for Round 4, which was the 2-day Senior Branch Championships) between 10.30am and 3.30pm (approximately). Rounds during 2002-03 were conducted as follows: Round 1 - Tannum Sands 26 October 2002 Round 2 - Agnes Water 30 November 2002 Round 3 - Agnes Water 21 December 2002 Round 4 - Hervey Bay Senior Branch Championships 8 & 9 February 2003 2003-04 SERIES For the 2003-04 season, the name of the Series was changed to the ‘2003-04 ERGON ENERGY Wide Bay Capricorn Branch Premiership Series’, due to the securing of a naming rights’ sponsor in the form of ERGON ENERGY. The format for the 2003-04 Series was exactly the same as for the 2002-03 Series, except that the carnivals were spread around the Branch, rather than just being held in a central location.

Rounds during 2003-04 were conducted as follows: Round 1 - Emu Park Saturday 11 October 2003 Round 2 - Bundaberg Saturday 22 November 2003 Round 3 - Agnes Water Saturday 20 December 2003 Round 4 - Tannum Sands Senior Branch Championships 14 & 15 February 2004 2004-05 SERIES For the 2004-05 season, the series again secured the sponsorship from Ergon Energy and was known as the ‘2004-05 ERGON ENERGY Wide Bay Capricorn Branch Premiership Series’. The format for the 2004-05 Series was slightly different to previous years, with some changes made including:

New Age Groups (U15, U17)

Carnivals were once again held in a ‘central’ location within the Branch

Trialed U17 Single Ski Races

Included U15 and U17 Cameron Relays Rounds during 2004-05 were conducted as follows: Round 1 - Tannum Sands Saturday 23 October 2004 Round 2 - Tannum Sands Saturday 13 November 2004 Round 3 - Agnes Water Saturday 18 December 2004 Round 4 - Moore Park Senior Branch Championships 12 & 13 February 2005 2005-06 SERIES For the 2005-06 season, the Series unfortunately lost the sponsorship from Ergon Energy and was known simply as the ‘2005-06 Wide Bay Capricorn Branch Premiership Series’. The format for the 2005-06 Series was exactly the same as for the 2004-05 Series, except for some minor changes relating to the Surf Boat categories. Rounds during 2005-06 were conducted as follows: Round 1 - Tannum Sands Saturday 22 October 2005 Round 2 - Agnes Water Saturday 12 November 2005 Round 3 - Agnes Water Saturday 17 December 2005 Round 4 - Yeppoon Senior Branch Championships 4 & 5 February 2006

2006-07 SERIES Following discussions held at the WBC Branch Planning Workshop and the WBC Branch Board of Surf Sports Meeting, both held in May 2006, it was decided to trial a new format for the 2006-07 Series in order to ‘refresh’ the Series and also in order to hopefully bolster the attendance at each round. Changes for 2006-07 included:

Conducted the Series over 3 Rounds only (2 Rounds + The Senior Branch Championships)

Individual Events - Conducted only one (1) round per event per Round - Add an Ironperson Race and Rescue Tube race for each age group

Team Events - Deleted the Open Lifesaver Relay Event - Added an Open Male and Female Taplin Relay - Added a Beach Relay for U15, U17 and Open Male and Open Female age categories

Surf Boat Events - Plan was to conduct the following age categories only – Open Men’s, Reserve Grade and

Open Women’s - Plan was also to conduct 4-round Round Robin format at each Round per age group - However, surf boat events were not conducted at any rounds, except for the Senior

Branch Championships

An U17 Men’s Single Ski and U17 Women’s Single Ski was again trialled, but all competitors had to be a minimum of 16 years of age (at midnight – 30th September 2006) AND have a current and proficient Bronze Medallion. Rounds 1 and 2 of the Series were again conducted on Saturdays so as to provide minimal disruption to normal Club operations (i.e. Beach Patrols). These early rounds were also conducted within a 5-hour ‘time-frame’ – 10.30am to 3.30pm – which allowed sufficient travel time for all Clubs on the same day as the carnival. The carnivals were conducted as per the following: Round 1 Saturday 21 October 2006 Agnes Water Round 2 Saturday 4 November 2006 Agnes Water Round 3 Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 February 2007 Bundaberg (Wide Bay Capricorn Branch Senior Championships) 2007-08 SERIES and BEYOND Since the 2007-08 Season, the WBC Branch Premiership Series events have been conducted as per the 2006-07 Series (above), with the only exception being the introduction of the Under 17 Taplin Relay in 2008-09, and a change to the pointscore system, which was introduced in 2009-10, that affected the points awarded from the Senior Branch Championships events.

2018 -19 WBC BRANCH PREMIERSHIP SERIES 2018-19 WBC Branch Premiership Series will be conducted using the same format and similar timing as the previous three seasons (with male and female age group extended to 60+) The decision to maintain the Status Quo was taken in view of the support shown by respondents in the recent Sports Survey. Also taken into account was the current SLSQ Sports Review being undertaken, and the SLSA rollout of their “Modified Sport Product”.

It seemed prudent not amend anything until SLSA & SLSQ had revealed the outcomes of their reviews and planned implementation.
